After Nehru's death, Indira had no money, but Now..??
The case of Young india is very interesting. The journey of the wealth created by the freedom fighters to reach Rahul's company during Nehru's time is very interesting. It is no less interesting that even though Indira Rajiv and sonia did not do any big business, the heirs of the gandhi family are the owners of crores.
The death of India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru on the 27th of May, 1964, was actually a mountain-like blow to the entire country, which was wandering in search of the right direction after independence. Two decades of independence were also completed properly and during this time the country had to fight despite reluctance on the data-border of pakistan and china in Kashmir. The wounds caused by both the wars need not be told. The collapse of a political tree like Nehru was no less than a problem for the Nehru-Gandhi family. It is said that Nehru did not even take salary and his family was living on the royalty of his books etc. Father's death was like a double blow for former prime minister Indira Gandhi.
Indira, like her father in many ways, was a strong woman who believed in modern ideas. He had also studied primary from the convent school at that time. Although highly educated Indira did not take any different career path, but remained active in politics along with her father. He had absolutely no desire to ever enter politics. Rather she wanted to lead a peaceful and apolitical life. catherine Frank has described her life after Nehru in great detail in "Indira" biography of the former Prime Minister. It is also told how Indira, who ran away from politics after the death of her father, was forced to enter the 'Kajal Ki Kothari' of politics.
