What relationship was there between Indira Gandhi and Mahatma Gandhi?
This is from her biography “She was the only child of Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India. She was not related to Mahatma Gandhi; she took her last name from her husband Feroze Gandhi, who changed his surname to “Gandhi” for political reasons.” She would have known the Mahatma, perhaps been influenced by him and his methods, but only through her father.
