From Gandi to Gandhi Sir, One Ram Dass Sharma, 1624-92, Street Missi Saga Canada, has in his letter in Hind Samachar, Jallandhar dated August 29, 1999, made a revelation that Feroze husband of Indira Nehru in fact belonged to Gandi family and not to Gandi family. It was the media marvel that the English Press made a Parsi Gundi into a Hindu Gandhi. The record of the Hind Samachar is witness to it. Feroze, Ram Dass continues, was intelligent, a self-respecting and a self-restrainted person. He all his life took his meals in the hotel but did not condescend to sit on the dinning table at the Nehru's. Now media tortures its own throat by crying at the top of its voice that Sonia Gandi is Sonia Gandhi which is absolutely wrong. He has further said that Sonia in her utterances seldom names Nehru in her speeches but usually trumpets the name of Gandhi. Foreign Press is so obsessed with the ancestry of the family that it assumes that Sonia has somehow some connection with the Gandhi family which is far from the truth, Ram Dass has asserted. It is a fact that Feroze was a Parsi boy and had secured entry into the Nehru family where he enticed Indira and married her though J L Nehru very reluctantly gave his consent to the matrimonial alliance. Nehru was a cosmopolitan, devoid of religious prejudice and any other bindings and must have agreed to the marriage otherwise a Hindu (Brahmin) girl could hardly have married a Parsi boy. As such we should call Sonia as Sonia Gandi and not as Sonia Gandhi. Yours etc..... |
