I don't want to change anyone's mind, these r just facts to kno
by Eye Opener on Apr 19, 2009 01:45 AM

One frequently hears that Rajiv Gandhi's
grandfather (nanaji) was
Pandit Nehru. But then we all know that everyone
has two grandfathers,
the paternal (dadaji) and the maternal (nanaji)grandfathers.

In fact, the paternal grandfather is deemed to be
the
more important grandfather in most societies.

Why is it then, nowhere, we find Rajiv Gandhi's
paternal
grandfather' s name? It appears that the reason
is simply. Rajiv
Gandhi's paternal grandfather (dadaji) 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.

send mail to know complete fact it & why congress is muslim bias.
