MY NAME IS also KHAN: Rahul Gandhi
February 9, 2010
Mumbai: Last Friday Rahul Gandhi traveled in local train in support of ShahRukh’s new movie MY NAME IS KHAN. Though politically it was said to be anti shivsena campaign in reality he was there to support ShahRukh Khan and he was doing publicity for MY NAME IS KHAN movie which is releasing on 12th February. Needless to say that both Gandhi & Khan hail from New Delhi & are good friends. And Rahul has more affinity towards Khan than hatred ness towards Shivsena.
Many people in India, especially the younger generation may not be aware that actually Rahul is also from a Khan family. Their grand father (Feroze Khan Gandhi) changed his surname to Gandhi in order to marry Nehru girl Indira. And Gandhi was most popular name in politics then as Khan is now in bollywood. But there was only one Gandhi (Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi) during that period unlike three Khans’ in bollywood now. Now that once again Khans in India are more popular, Rahul should not hesitate to use his forefathers forgotten surname ‘Khan’ for political purpose. Of course he has every right to be Khan than Gandhi. And his sympathy towards khan is not surprising either. Though politically he wants to prove that he is secular and in reality his forefather’s family is most secular family in the history of India and needless to say that it is the source for the present Pseudo secularism in India. The youth of India who consider Rahul as their political icon and future of Indian politics should know his family back ground. Youth should never forget the history and hidden truth in making that history. A country which forgets its history has no future. Similarly it is duty of the youth to know the background of their political icons and their commitment and sincerity to the growth of the nation. It would be right if Rahul claims that his Name is also KHAN…You want to know why?
In the book “The Nehru Dynasty”, astrologer K.N.Rao mentions the names of Jawaharlal’s father and grandfather. Jawaharlal’s father was believed to be MotiLal and Moti al’s father was one Gangadhar Nehru. Jawaharlal’s only daughter was Indira Priyadarshini Nehru; Kamala Nehru was her mother. She was totally against Indira’s proposed marriage with Feroze. Now, who is this Feroze? We are told by many that he was the son of the family grocer. The grocer supplied wines, etc. to Anand Bhavan, previously known as Ishrat Manzil, which once belonged to a Muslim lawyer named Mobarak Ali. MotiLal was earlier an employee of Mobarak Ali. Rajiv Gandhi’s paternal grandfather was a Muslim gentleman from the Junagadh area of Gujarat. This Muslim grocer by the name of Nawab Khan had married a Parsi woman after converting her to Islam. This is the source where from the myth of Rajiv being a Parsi was derived. Rajiv’s father Feroze was Feroze Khan before he married Indira, against Kamala Nehru’s wishes. Feroze’s mother’s family name was Ghandy, often associated with Parsis and this was changed to Gandhi, sometime before his wedding with Indira, by an affidavit. Feroze Khan, the grocer’s son was then in England and he was quite sympathetic to Indira and soon enough she changed her religion, became a Muslim woman and married Feroze Khan in a London mosque. Nehru was not happy; Kamala was dead already or dying. The news of this marriage eventually reached Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Gandhi urgently called Nehru and practically ordered him to ask the young man to change his name from Khan to Gandhi. It had nothing to do with change of religion, from Islam to Hinduism for instance. It was just a case of a change of name by an affidavit. And so Feroze Khan became Feroze Gandhi. The surprising thing is that the apostle of truth, the old man soon to be declared India’s Mahatma and the ‘Father of the Nation’ didn’t mention this game of his in the famous book, ‘My Experiments with Truth’. Why? When they returned to India, a mock ‘Vedic marriage’ was instituted for public consumption.
Coming back to Rajiv Gandhi, we all know now that he changed his so called Parsi religion to become a Catholic to marry Sania Maino of Turin, Italy. Rajiv became Roberto. His daughter’s name is Bianca and son’s name is Raul Quite cleverly the same names are presented to the people of India as Priyanka and Rahul. What is amazing is the extent of our people’s ignorance in such matters. The press conference that Rajiv Gandhi gave in London after taking over as prime minister of India was very informative. In this press conference, Rajiv boasted that he was NOT a Hindu but a Parsi. Mind you, speaking of the Parsi religion, he had no Parsi ancestor at all.
