The Iron Lady Indian Priyadarshini Gandhi who was born on 19th November 1917 was an Indian stateswomen and central figure of the Indian National Congress. Indira was the first and the only female Prime Minister of India who belonged to the Nehru-Gandhi family and was the daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Indian prime minister.Indira Gandhi had a lonely childhood, due to her father’s long-running political affairs and her mother’s chronic illness.
As she was driven out of the two educational institutes, she had no company growing up. Until she met the supplier of wine to her ancestral home at Allahabad, Feroze Khan (Feroze Gandhi). Later, the fell in love, though it took time for the two to get married. Indira Gandhi and Feroze Khan got married in a mosque in London for which she changed her religion to Islam and named herself Maimuna Begum. Nehru got angry on it and asked Feroze to change his name into ‘Feroze Gandhi’ just by signing an affidavit.
Feroze Gandhi and Indira were blessed with Rajiv Gandhi and Sanjay Gandhi, however, it is believed by theorists that Sanjay Gandhi is Indira’s son from Mohammad Yunus and not Feroze Gandhi. the more important fact about Sanjay Gandhi, as openly stated in the book ‘The Nehru Dynasty’ by K N Rao, is that this man (Sanjay Gandhi) wasn’t the son of Feroze Khan after all. He was, in fact, the son of another Islamic connection of Indira Gandhi, named Mohammad Yunus.
