Misusing Gandhi Name
by siva kumar on Oct 04, 2007 07:38 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Because of the surname Gandhi, Indira Gandhi was fooling even the whole International community-because they thought she was the daughter of Mahatma Gandhi.
But the Truth... Nehru did not approve the love of Indira priyadarshini with a Parsi-Muslim named Feroz Khan. Both went to Gandhi for support and being Mahatma he adopted Feroz as his son and gave his name as his surname and got them married.
When these true love story is not known to most Indins themselves, how foriegners will come to know of it?
As the south indian voters were under the impression that Gandhi and congress only got freedom and thought Indira Gandhi was somehow related to Gandhi, they have always supported Indira and her version of Congress during her lifetime and voted her even after emergency.
So how many generations this family should be allowed to use Gandhi's name even after spoiling the country by ruling mostly after Independence, and blaming poor BJP for all the ills of India today.. All right thinking Indians Please think...

Well...without going into history about who was born how & who changed to what...because it is pointless.....it is incredibly naive & simplistic to think anyone can win elections & fool intenational community, no less, because of Gandhi surname !!!

If it were true, all BJP needs to do is to change the name of all their leaders to gandhi !! :P:P There is nothing legal barring them from doing so..right?
