A Glimpse at the Seldom Discussed Son of Nehru (a. Ghosh)

It is not only the son of Nehru that people seldom discuss, there are many other matters concerning the Nehru’s that have escaped the attention of our people. Such lack of attention is not necessarily a phenomenon that affects the foreigners; it is only the Indians, primarily the Hindus of India, who suffer from such lack of perception. It is our own people who do not know in depth their leaders. That is a shame!  We saw how the British got rid of then Prince of Wales, Edward VIII, for reasons of an unacceptable marriage with the twice divorced Wallis woman!

A very common question about the Nehru’s, if asked, inevitably draws a wrong answer or at best, no answer at all, from even the knowledgeable literati of the Indian media, teachers and professors, politicians and ministers, etc.

The question is: "Who was the (paternal) grandfather of Rajiv Roberto Gandhi, son of Indira, daughter of Jawahar Lal Nehru?" And you will not be surprised to hear that most people, including even the Ph.D.s of Indian Universities reply right away that it was Pundit Jawahar Lal Nehru. Peopleforget that Jawahar was only the maternal grandfather and NOT the paternal grandfather! No one seems to know that Rajiv Roberto's father was Firoz Khan (who had changed his name by an affidavit to avoid arousing attention of the people of India, primarily Hindus) and therefore, the (paternal) grandfather of Rajiv was the father of Firoz. His name was Nawab Khan, a Sunni Moslem who used to supply liquor to the Nehru family.

Having said that let us look a little closer at the marital life of Jawahar. His wife was Kamala Nehru (nee Kaul) and she was maltreated by Jawahar's sister Nan (later named Vijay Lakshmi); the other sister, Krishna, was much younger and therefore less aggressive toward Kamala. Kamala had a miserable existence in the Nehru family. She was a vegetarian and never touched alcohol in any form. Her kitchen was quite separate from the Mohammedan cook's quarters of Jawahar's part of the Anand Bhavan. Partition had already started in the house (once called Ishrat Manzil)built by Mobarak Ali, the renowned lawyer of the City of Allah or Allahabad, Moti Lal's employer.

Kamala eventually died in Switzerland of tuberculosis after a long bout with the disease. Daughter Indira, who had a totally un-Hindu upbringing, was left to herself. The senior aunt, Nan (later Vijaya Lakshmi) was herself running after unhealthy company terminating in an elopement with aMoslem man called Syed Husain. Some say Syud was an illegitimate son of Moti Lal and that was the primary reason for Moti Lal's refusal to agree to the marriage with Syud, for then it would be a marriage between half siblings. There could be no other reason for an agnostic like Moti Lal,

whose most intimate friends were all Mohammedans, to have refused hisblessing to Nan's wedding with Syud!

Be that as it may, as soon as Kamala Nehru (wife of Jawahar) died, whatever restrictions, real or imaginary there had been, in the way of keeping a check on Jawahar's conduct vis a vis other women, disappeared. The prime minister of India, a widower, started conducting himself absolutely shamelessly. He started running after skirts and saris, gave up all important work connected with the wellbeing of the state of India and her people. Other than looking after the members of his own immediate family, such as promoting Vijay Lakshmi in the UNO, clearing the path ofhis own daughter to the post of the future prime minister of India, etc. he had no other interests. Huge territories of India were taken over by communist China, once Nehru's good friend; Kashmir was attacked by Islamic Pakistan but he would not care. Weren't there more interesting items to pay attention to? There was Edwina of course but then there were also many more to attend to!

Here we will take our reader to the pages written by M.O. Mathai, a South Indian Catholic from Kerala, who served Nehru for many years as his Personal Assistant. Mathai writes in his Reminiscences of the Nehru Age in the chapter Nehru and Women (pg. 206-207):

"In the autumn of 1948 a young woman from Benares arrived in New Delhi as a sanyasini named Shradha Mata. She was a Sanskrit scholar and well versed in ancient Indian scriptures and mythology. People, including MPs, thronged to her to hear her discourses. One day, S.D. Upadhyaya, Nehru'sold employee, brought a letter in Hindi from Shradha Mata about whom he spoke very highly. Nehru gave her an interview in the PM's house. As she departed, I noticed that she was young, shapely and beautiful. Meetings with her became rather frequent, mostly after Nehru finished his work atnight. During one of Nehru's visits to Lucknow, Shradha Mata turned up there, and Upadhyaya brought a letter from her as usual. Nehru sent her the reply; and she visited Nehru at midnight. Padmaja was hysterical...

"Suddenly Shradha Mata disappeared. In November 1949 a convent in Bangalore sent a decent-looking person to Delhi with a bundle of letters. He said that a young woman from northern India arrived at the convent a few months ago and gave birth to a baby boy. She refused to divulge hername or give any particulars about herself. She left the convent as soon as she was well enough to move out but left the child behind. She however forgot to take with her a small cloth bundle in which, among other things, several letters in Hindi were found.

"The Mother Superior, who was a foreigner, had the letters examined and was told they were from the Prime Minister. The person who brought the letters surrendered them. But he declined to give his name, or the name of the Mother Superior, or the name and address of the convent. Nehru was

told of the facts. He tore off the letters without any emotion reflected in his face. He showed no interest in the child then or later...

Says Mathai: “I made discreet enquiries repeatedly about the boy but failed to get a clue about his whereabouts. Convents in such matters are extremely tight-lipped and secretive. Had I succeeded in locating the boy, I would have adopted him. He must have grown up as a Catholic Christian blissfully ignorant of who his father was."

It is quite possible that if the bastard son of Nehru could be located, he and not Indira would have ruled India. Elsewhere, in the same book, Mathai writes: “Some of the great men in the past have been 'bastards'.  Confucius and Leonardo da Vinci are classic examples. In modern times we have hadRamsay MacDonald and now Willy Brandt."

However, for those readers who are disappointed in not having Nehru's bastard son as India's ruler, there is nothing to lose. Writes Mathai elsewhere in the same book (pg. 94):"For some inexplicable reason, Nehru allowed the marriage (between Indira and Feroze) to be performed according to Vedic rites in 1942. An inter-religious and intercaste marriage under Vedic rites at that time was not valid in law. To be legal, it had to be  a civil marriage. So, strictly under the law, Indira was only a'concubine' and her children are 'bastards'." So, Rajiv, a 'bastard' by this definition replaced the other 'bastard', the unknown son of Jawahar.

However, this incident of secret delivery of Jawahar's bastard son at the convent drastically limited Nehru's personal and  prime ministerial freedom. He became overly subservient to the Catholic lobby and the GoI became absolutely powerless in matters concerning the missionary fathers and their vile practices to convert India's  poor. However, Nehru had to pay the price too. He died of syphilis.

A tale of 2 Lals of India (Moti Lal and Jawharlal)

By Sambit Nanda 06/02/2003 At 13:51

This is the story of the two Lals of India. It may appear new to you, that is because the entire GoI has been striving hard to keep it hidden from its people. The writer had to dig up the details, from various sources; he then added two and two together. However, the writer does not believe that there are too many inconsistencies in the story; if there are, then the fault lies with the GoI who should have made it public in the first place. Can you imagine that even 50 years after freedom, we still don't know who was the 'paternal' grandfather of Rajiv

A Tale Of Two Lals

By:

The Truth Detector

(This is the story of the two Lals of India. It may appear new to you, that is because the entire GoI has been striving hard to keep it hidden from its people. The writer had to dig up the details, from various sources; he then added two and two together. However, the writer does not believe that there are too many inconsistencies in the story; if there are, then the fault lies with the GoI who should have made it public in the first place. Can you imagine that even 50 years after freedom, we still don't know who was the 'paternal' grandfather of Rajiv!)

Moti Lal, the brothel-keeper:

The words 'Moti' and 'Lal' signify 'pearl' and 'ruby'. His name was not 'Narayan Das' or 'Madan Mohan' or anything like that. The seeds of secu-larism were already sown in Moti Lal, the tho-roughly Islamized product of Kashmir who often (whenever it suited him, of course) flaunted his Brahminical ancestry.

Moti Lal didn't have much education. Married at an early age, he came down to Allahabad (the city of Allah) to earn a living. We do not know exact-ly where he had settled down in Allahabad then. However, we do not believe it was in the Red Light district of Mir Ganj of Allahabad where in the olden days, the Turks and the Moghuls used to keep the kidnapped Hindu women for their entertainment. (It was here that Urdu was born.) We are saying this because we now know for sure that Moti Lal had settled down with his second 'wife' (we do not know if Moti Lal had really married the woman or just brought her down with him from Kashmir, for evil purposes) in the brothel area of Mir Ganj.

The first wife died at child birth; the male baby died too. Soon after, Moti Lal returned to Kashmir, found a pretty woman from a very poor family, his so called 'wife', and brought her down to Allahabad. He settled down at Mir Ganj. Moti Lal had decided to become a part-time brothel keeper for he had no other means of livelihood. Whoever has heard of anyone settling down in a Red Light district with his newly married wife (even second wife) and bringing up children there? We will soon see that Jawahar, Moti Lal's next son, who lived, did not grow up in that brothel house for too long. But both his sisters, Vijaya Lakshmi and Krishna grew up there for years.

During day time, Moti Lal attended the Allahabad court in spite of the fact that he was only a 'mukhtear', even junior to a 'vakeel'. At Allahabad, in those

days, even 'mukhtears' were permitted to practice in the high court. However, Moti Lal earned very little.

At the same court, a renowned solicitor and lawyer plied his trade too. He was Mobarak Ali, a shia' man. He had a roaring practice in Allahabad. He had a large house, the Ishrat Manzil. It must be mentioned here that there was another Ishrat Manzil at Allahabad at that time. This second Ishrat Manzil belonged to Akbar Allahabadi. This often caused mixing up of the mail. Mobarak Ali's Ishrat Manzil was later sold to Moti Lal and the erstwhile 'mukhtear' changed the name to 'Anand Bhavan'. It is now called the 'Swarajya Bhavan' and belongs to the nation.

Mobarak meets Moti Lal:

In the evenings, Moti Lal returned home after his day at the court. Most days, he walked to his house in the brothel area. Mobarak Ali, like most wealthy Mussalmans, used to visit the same area quite often to have some fun and games. Mobarak used to go there in his horse-drawn coach. Moti Lal had always wanted to strike up a relationship with Mobarak Ali. And so it came to pass that one evening, Mobarak noticed this Hindu man, a lowly 'mukhtear' coming out of the court premises, in tattered pants, while he was about to get into his coach. Mobarak Ali, out of courtesy asked Moti Lal if he could give him a ride. Since both were headed toward Mir Ganj, for different reasons of course, Moti Lal got into the coach and sat in front.

It soon became clear to the wily Moti Lal that Mobarak Ali was looking for a pretty Hindu broad for the night. And he offered his woman, so freshly brought from Kashmir. The bargain was struck. And thus Moti and Mobarak had rides together many evenings after that, all the way from the court to the Mir Ganj district.

Mobarak offered a small job to Moti Lal in his lawyer's office. The Kashmiri 'Pandit' started working for the lecherous Mussalman, now his own boss. Much later Moti had his own office.

The Widow of Etawah and Amethi:

A lot of things happened in the next few years. The Rajah of Etawah had died without an issue. Under British rule, in such cases the widow was to lose her husband's estate if she did not have a male issue. And obviously, the Hindu widow was sure to lose her estate. She came to see Mobarak Ali to fight her case in the courts.

Mobarak put Moti Lal to the job; he acted from behind. At his instruction, Moti Lal went to see the Rani (the widow of the late Rajah of Etawah) and told her that Mobarak Ali could fight on her case and win. He mentioned the amount of

Mobarak's fee: it was going to be Rs. 5,00,000 (a hefty sum, in those days). The helpless widow agreed. The amount was equally divided between Moti and Mobarak. However, at the lower court, Mobarak Ali and Moti Lal lost the widow's case. Undaunted, they announced to the widow that not everything was lost. On behalf of Mobarak Ali, Moti Lal announced to the widow that they would go to the higher court with her case. The fee was again a hefty Rs.5,00,000, equally shared by Mobarak and Moti. They lost the case in the higher court as well.

The smart Mobarak suggested that the case be now taken to the Privy Council in London. This time, the widow had to pay for all their travel expen-ses, to and from London plus their fees AND the fee of a London barrister. Mobarak Ali hired a top notch London barrister. He argued the case at the Privy Council on behalf of the widow, who, according to him, was pregnant and carrying a child of the Rajah of Etawah, when he died. A suitable baby boy had been found for the purpose and the court was told that the boy was sired by the Rajah and the widowed Rani was the mother. This time, the case was won and the Rani could retain ownership of her deceased husband's estate. One of the constituencies of the estate was Amethi. This was obtained by Moti Lal from the widow. It is not quite clear if there was any arm-twisting involved in the transfer of Amethi, but the Rani, we believe, was quite happy to have re-tained ownership of at least part of the property.

The Birth of a Baby:

In the mean time, Moti Lal's 'wife' became pregnant. Mobarak was the 'father'. One fine morning, while Moti Lal's 'wife' was heavy with the child, they went for a holy dip in the Ganges. A hermit saw them and called Moti aside and scolded him for letting his 'wife' carry a child who was going to bring disaster to India. The hermit must have had powers to read the future. He suggested to Moti Lal to abort the baby by using 'zahar' (or poison). The lady was some distance away and could not quite hear the conversation in full but did hear the word 'zahar'. Moti Lal came back to his woman after the stern rebuke and 'explained' that the hermit wanted his son's name to be 'Jawahar'. It is not known if Jawahar's future mother really believed in what Moti Lal, the inveterate liar, told her.

Moti Lal requested his boss Mobarak Ali to have the delivery of the baby done at his residence, the Ishrat Manzil. Mobarak would have none of it.

He agreed that the baby was his but he was not going to have it delivered in his house. According to the sharia', even if a bastard is born in the house of the natural father, the new-born has equal rights on the property with the

natural father's other legitimate children. Mobarak agreed to pay for the delivery expenses and in the end the baby (Jawahar, in this case) was born in that brothel house. Jawahar destroyed that house as soon as he became the prime minister and the canard was floated that Jawahar was born in the 'Anand Bhavan'. Mind you, there was no 'Anand Bhavan' yet; it was still the 'Ishrat Manzil'. But in India, no one asks embarrassing questions. Thus we don't want to know what was the name of Rajiv's 'paternal' grandfather or why Feroz and Indira had changed their name to 'Gandhi' by an affidavit! Or, how Jawahar got infected with and died of syphilis! Did he get it from shaking hands with his friends or from wiping his mouth in the open? Mobarak Ali was connected with the high and the mighty of the Moslem society. The nawab of Oudh objected strongly to bringing up the baby boy in a brothel. He offered to bring him up in his own palace. He had a number of Moslem women in the harem, who could suckle the baby. From then on, the baby Jawahar, soon after his birth, left Mir Ganj and was housed in the nawab's palace. Jawahar stayed there till he was ten. Then he left for London for education. Moti Lal had earned enough money by then and could pay for son's education.

There was a full-length picture of the ten-year-old Jawahar standing by the side of the nawab of Oudh on the first floor of the nawab's palace, not far from Lucknow. It was his upbringing in the nawab's palace that made Jawahar proudly announce in public, that he was educated in the West, had an Islamic upbringing and that he was a Hindu only by an accident!

There were two more babies born in Moti Lal's house in the brothel area; both were daughters. It is not known if they too were sired by Mobarak Ali. Perhaps yes, perhaps no. But then Moti Lal,

a confirmed philanderer had his own bastards too. Sheikh Abdullah was one and another was Syud Husain, who had eloped with Vijaya Lakshmi. It was this fact of being half siblings that provoked Moti Lal to stop the wedding between Syud Husain and Vijaya Lakshmi. They had lived together for a few days during their elopement. That explains why Vijaya Lakshmi's first daughter, Chandra Lekha, looks so much like Syud Husain although her theoretical father was supposed to be R.S. Pandit. One has only to compare the pictures of Chandra Lekha, Nayantara and Rita, the last two daughters undoubtedly sired by R.S. Pandit.

Jawahar Lal, the impostor:

Jawahar became a barrister of sorts. His main subject of study at Trinity College was Botany. At the time, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, another shia' man, had his residence/law offices at the Malabar Hills of Bombay. Jinnah had a roaring practice. The ever jealous Jawahar opened his law office there. He did not make much headway in the practice. One day, he was arrested by the

police for molesting a Parsi girl, an employee in his own office. The papers are still in the Sessions Court archives in Bombay (now Mumbai). Moti Lal hurried down from Allahabad and brought to bear all his influence and money power to get his son released. He took him back with him to Allahabad. That was the end of Jawahar's law practice. He entered politics. It may be mentioned here that one does not find any picture of Jawahar Lal between the ages of 1 and 10, when he was brought up in the nawab of Oudh's palace near Lucknow. That is because Jawahar was never at Moti Lal's place, properly speaking. The baby Jawahar was removed from the brothel house to the nawab's palace and reared there till he was about ten years old. Picture-taking is taboo in Islam. He left for England at ten. The two sisters had very little to do with their only brother as he was not there.

There are a number of pictures of the two sisters of their childhood but none of the boy. Also, a large part of Jawahar's expenses in London was paid by Mobarak Ali. Moti Lal didn't have the money at the time. It is only later, much later, that Moti Lal rolled in money, thanks to the widowed Rani of Etawah.

Jawahar, the widower sires a Christian baby:

Like father - like son and Jawahar grew up to be a Lothario, one notch higher than his daddy. He took full advantage of his position as the prime minister of the country. Jawahar's habit of seeking out pretty women and granting them mid-night trysts became wellknown to the insiders. He rendered a Hindu nun pregnant. She was removed not to a hospital, for then everyone would come to know, but to a Catholic nunnery. Why do you think Catholics are given a special treatment in secular India? For the simple reason that they can keep their lips sealed but wield their whip of black-mail when required. The baby boy sired by the widower Nehru was taken out of India to make a good Christian out of the bastard. But then that would be nothing new. India has been and still is being ruled by bastards. M.O. Mathai, Nehru's Catholic Personal Assistant of many years, will tell you that in his two books (My Days with Nehru and Reminiscences of the Nehru Age).

Jawahar, the Liar:

The inveterate liar that he was, Nehru would go to the ramparts of the Red Fort of Delhi and shout Delhi Chalo and Jai Hind, over the microphone, only to come back to his office and dictate personal letters to Clement Attlee, then the British prime minister, urging him to prod Stalin to hand over Netaji Bose to His Majesty's Govern-ment for trial for having 'declared war on the King of England'.

As soon as Sheikh Abdullah got S.P. Mookerjee killed by his Moslem doctor by injection, Nehru flew down from London. He took hold of Mookerjee's personal

diary and never returned it to his mother and that inspite of the bereaved mother's frantic appeals for her dead son's last memento.

Nehru had his retribution though. The man who had his 'tryst with destiny' on that night of August in 1947, finally died, not of heart failure as they tell you, but of syphilis. And believe me, he did not get infected with that vile disease by drinking out of a tumbler in a restaurant. He got it the only way every other syphilitic patient gets it, by illicit and reckless sex with any and every woman he could lay his dirty hands on.

How did we discover?

West Bengal's Shyama Prosad Mookerjee gave a hard time to Nehru in the Lok Sabha. A whispering campaign was started that a relation of Mooker-jee's had done something illegal with the procure-ment of newsprint. Nehru wanted desperately to find fault with Mookerjee or anyone connected with him. Nehru asked West Bengal's chief minister B.C. Roy to send him a bright police officer; he had some assignment to give to him.

B.C. Roy sent Samar Sen from Calcutta, a promising, intelligent and hard-working police officer. Samar Sen reported to Nehru in New Delhi. For two hours, Nehru talked and talked but never asked Samar Sen to take a seat. Sen promised never to serve this man, even though he was supposed to be the prime minister of India. To Samar Sen, Nehru was a man without pedigree, which we all know now, but he didn't at the time.

Nehru told Samar Sen that he wanted to find some 'weak spots' on S.P. Mookerjee; that he would let him have a special permit empowering him to ask for any file on anyone in India, at any police office and without questions asked. Samar Sen was to look into the secret police files on S.P. Mookerjee and when he had found something objectionable on Mookerjee, Samar Sen was to report it to him.

Unfortunately for Nehru, Samar Sen had been an admirer of Mookerjee since many years. He reported the matter to Mookerjee, then in the opposition. Mookerjee heard him out and advised him to get, not one, but two such permits; one on S.P. Mookerjee of course but also another on J.L. Nehru. Thus he would discover if there was anything not quite 'kosher' in Nehru's files.

While on his assignment, Samar Sen, went for an early morning walk in a Bombay park. There he met an old man, hailing from Uttar Pradesh but now the president of the Hindu Mahasabha of Bombay. The old gentleman from Uttar Pradesh appeared to be very well informed on Nehru and his background; he suggested that Samar Sen look into the classified file on Nehru at the archives of the Sessions Court. This, Samar Sen did and discovered Nehru's arrest on charges of molestation of the Parsi girl employee

in Nehru's own office. At the request of the old man, Samar Sen went all the way to Lucknow to take pictures of the full-length painting depicting the nawab of Oudh and the ten-year-old Jawahar at the first floor of the nawab's palace near Lucknow.

Samar Sen became fully aware of the nature of the animal (Nehru) he had on his hands. His back ground, birth place, upbringing at the nawab of Oudh's palace, Nehru's inadequacy as a barrister, his profligacy like his father Moti Lal's, all came into full view.

How Nehru, at the request of the apostle of truth, M.K. Gandhi, got the name of Feroz Khan (son of Moti Lal's Moslem grocer Nawab Khan) changed to Feroz Gandhi by an affidavit in England; how Nehru instituted a sham 'Vedic' marriage between Indira and Feroz to fool the public in India. Samar Sen could see the ins and outs of the devil that went by the name of Jawahar Lal Nehru, the prime minister of India and on whom rests the entire folly of Kashmir.

Samar Sen died some years ago. His son lives in Canada. In India, he would have been assassinated! No doubt, many will cast doubt on the story but will desist from throwing light to the hidden sides of the Nehrus (alias Khans/Gandhis).

To them, we quote from Hillaire Belloc:

Oh! Let us never doubt

What no body is sure about!

More on the Nehru Dynasty

The Truth Detector

Sword Of Truth

July 26, 1998

We have received some new information on the Nehrus and would like to share it with our readers. We had reported earlier that the name of Jawahar's paternal grandfather was Gangadhar Nehru. Gangadhar was a police officer

under the Moghuls. He apparently used to reside on the bank of a canal (or Nehr) and had adopted the name 'Nehru' as the family name.

It is now reported that Gangadhar was an assumed name. That the man we know as the paternal grandfather of Jawahar was of Moghul ancestry. Why did he then adopt a Hindu, so called Kashmiri name? The reason that was provided to us was this.

In 1857 AD, the year of the mutiny, the British were slaughtering all Moghuls everywhere. The Hindus on the other hand were not targeted by the British unless of course isolated Hindus were found to be siding with the Moghuls, due to past associations. It became customary therefore for many Mohammedans to adopt Hindu names and the theory is that the man we know as Gangadhar had also adopted a Hindu name and thus saved his life by the subterfuge.

In his autobiography, Jawaharlal states that he had seen a picture of his grandfather 'Gangadhar' which portrayed him like a Moghul nobleman. In her memoirs, Krishna Hutheesingh (Jawahar's second sister) has written that Gangadhar was the city Kotwal of Delhi prior to the uprising of 1857. However, a well-documented research work "Bahadur Shah II and the war of 1857 in Delhi", by

Mahdi Husain (1987 edition) published by the MN Publications, W-112 Greater Kailash I, New Delhi, the city Kotwal of Delhi during 1857 was one Faizullah Khan. He had replaced the earlier Kotwal and the City Governor Mirza Maniruddin. The latter had been dismissed by the sultan for serving as a spy of the British. The post of City Governor was also abolished with him, at the time.

The naib Kotwal at the time was one Bhao Singh. Sri Kashinath was the Thanedar of the Lahori Gate area. The name 'Gangadhar' could not be traced anywhere. Quite clearly, the matter needs further investigation by competent historians.

After capturing Delhi in 1857, the British got the entire walled city vacated. People were housed in tents on the outskirts of Delhi. They made a thorough search of each and every house in the city. The operation yielded enormous wealth which was summarily confiscated. The British also searched houses in the outskirts of Delhi and killed every Moghul so that there were no future claimants to the throne of Delhi. After about two months, the British permitted the Hindu residents of Delhi to return to their houses. Mohammedans were permitted to return later.

The Urdu literature of the 19th century, especially the works of Khwaja Hasan Nizami, are full of the miseries that the Moghuls and Mohammedans as a rule

had to face then. They also describe how many Moghuls escaped to other cities to save their lives. In all probability, Jawahar's Moghul grandfather and his family were among them. Jawaharlal also states in his autobiography that on their way to Agra (a seat of Moghul influence) from Delhi, the members of the family were detained by the British. The reason for the detention was their Moghul features. They however pleaded that they were Kashmiri Pandits and thus got away. It is an example how history changes the course of events. Only a few years ago Kashmiri linkage had been used by the Mohammedans of Indian origin to make them look like Moghuls and now it was used to make the Moghuls look like Kashmiri Hindus!

Writes T.L. Sharma in his well-researched treatise "Hindu Muslim Relations, 1913-1925", pp. 3-5 (B.R. Publishing Corp., 29/9 Shakti Nagar, Nangia Park, Delhi 7, 1987), on the authority of Massir-ul-Umara:

"Such exaggerated importance was attached to non-Indian descent during the Moghul period that if Mohammedan aspirants for high government office did not have a foreign ancestor, they invented fictitious ones to improve their chances. Very often they took to marrying Kashmiri girls so that their fair-complexioned progeny might be accepted as of Iranian or Turkish descent...".

(Today, in Islamic Pakistan and Bangladesh, well-placed Mohammedans introduce themselves as descendants of Arabs!) The name 'Gangadhar' thus appears to be a fictitious name superimposed on a Moghul character who might have been a petty official in the services of Bahadur Shah Zafar. The name 'Nehru' raises questions too. If that name had come from the Persian word 'nahr' meaning a canal, how come no other resident of the area had adopted that name? How is it that only Motilal chose that name for his family and no one else?

It is more than likely that after fleeing from Delhi, it was only Motilal who chose the Nehru name and thus abandoned the more honorable 'family name' Kaul. On the basis of the Kaul name, all matrimonial relations were established with genuine Ksahmiri Brahmin families in the future. It is significant that all close connections of this new Nehru family were Mohammedans. Even their kitchen was managed by Mohammedan cooks. Not only that. The Nehrus felt very uncomfortable in the company of Hindus. Jawaharlal particularly abhored the words 'Hindu' and 'Hindi'. And yet this was the man who had been described as a Kashmiri Brahmin to the whole of India! A man who never had worn the 'yajnopaveet', could not read Sanskrit or even the Hindi script!

It appears that both Jawahar and his daughter Indira (there are doubts about Jawahar's having fathered Indira, since he is said to have never consummated his marriage with Kamala Kaul, Indira's mother) were fully aware of their

Moghul ancestry. Here it may be said that Jawahar was fathered by Mobarak Ali, a Shia' lawyer of Allahabad and his son, Manzoor Ali had fathered Indira. While Jawahar was removed from that house in the brothel area that Motilal had rented and reared in the palace of the Nawab of Oudh, a friend of Mobarak Ali, Indira was reared in the Anand Bhavan, previously known as the Ishrat Manzil of Mobarak Ali. It may be mentioned here that all male children of the Nehrus', Jawahar (son of Mobarak Ali and Swarup Rani), Rajiv and Sanjay (sons of Firoz Khan and Mohamad Yunus, respectively) had been circumcised following the Islamic fashion.

That explains why both Jawahar and Indira admired the Moghuls and their way of life. That can be the only reason for Jawahar's eulogizing the Moghul period of Indian history (which was meticulously followed by India's Mohammedan ambassador to the US, Abid Husain, during his entire tenure). Jawahar's appointees at the NCERT (National Council of Educational Research and Training) were all admirers of the Moghul period too.

Incidentally, the pre-Independence history books termed the Gupta period (320 - 550 AD) as the golden age of India.

Recently, the former Foreign Minister of India, Natwar Singh has made an interesting revelation about Indira Gandhi's affinity to the Moghuls. In his book 'Profile and Letters' published by the Sterling Publishers, L-10 Green Park Extn, New Delhi 16, extracts of which have been published in the Daily Hindustan Times, Nov. 16, 1997, Natwar Singh states that Indira (then Prime Minister of India), went on an official visit to Afghanistan in 1968. Natwar Singh had accompanied her in his capacity as an officer on special duty of the Foreign Ministry of India. After having completed the day's long engagements, Indira wanted to go out for a ride in the evening. After going a long distance in the car, Indira wanted to visit Babur's burial place. Remember that Babur was the founder of the Moghul dynasty! This visit was NOT included in the itinerary. The Afghan security officials tried to dissuade Indira, but she was adamant. In the end she did go to the place where Babur was buried. It was a deserted place. She went before Babur's grave, stood there for a few minutes with head bent down in reverence. Natwar Singh stood behind her. When Indira had finished her prayers, she turned back and told Singh: "Today we have had our brush with history." No doubt, if Indira had been alive today as the country's prime minister, the slaughter at Ayodhya perpatrated by Mulayam Singh Yadav

would have been ten times greater, almost like she had done in the Harimandir Sahib Temple!

Rajiv Gandhi, Indira's son, not so knowledgable in history, Indian or otherwise, was nevertheless quite proud of his Moghul ancestry. Although he used to say

publicly that he had no personal religion, and that only his wife Sonia was a Catholic, in personal conduct Rajiv was very much a Moghul of the Islamic faith. On 15th August, 1988 he thundered from the ramparts of the Red Fort: "Our endeavor should be to take the country to heights to which it belonged about 250-300 years ago." It was then the reign of Aurangzeb, the 'jeziya' master and number one temple destroyer.

Our readers! Does all this throw some light on the Nehru dynasty? Sure, it is hard to swallow, but it doubtlessly shows that India has been ruled by this Mohammedan family for the last 50 years. Their success lay in the impeccable guile and perfect connivance, aided by the foolish credulity of the Hindu leaders of India. How long are we going to take such tripe from the cheats and for how long? If only our gods had not intervened and decimated the dynasty wholesale, India today would have been another darul Islam! 1998 Sword Of Truth.

PANDIT JAWAHARLAL NEHRU. WHERE DID THE "BANDIT" COME FROM?

...............NEHRUS: WHERE DID THEY COME FROM?

.....................The Truth Detector

Incredible though it may seem, it still is a fact that the people of India know very little of the Nehrus.

The origins of the Nehrus have been kept a secret from the vast majority of Hindus of India; and those few who knew parts of the Nerhu background, kept it to themselves for whatever reason.

The end result was the incredible situation where a country was ruled incognito not only by a Nehru but by the members of the whole dynasty, one after the other, until the original Nehrus were all gone; and now, in the name of the Nehrus, attempts are being made to foist an Italian maid-servant as India's new Rashtra-bahu of an alien faith! Even the story of Frankenstein appears more plausible!

Unlike most Hindu families where the genealogical record is carefully preserved, in the case of Jawahar Lal, said to be the son of a Kashmiri Brahmin, such a family tree, has been mostly unknown. In fact, in its stead a number of untruths were deliberately spread to enhance the prestige of the future prime minister of India.

Just a few of these canards will clarify the point. It has been said that Pandit Nehru was born in the Anand Bhavan, the family residence in Allahabad. This is not true. Jawahar Lal was born in a brothel house in Mir Ganj, the red light district of Allahabad. The building which is known as the Anand Bhavan was

not even owned by Motilal, Jawahar's father, at the time of his son's birth. The building was there of course, but it had a different name. It was known to be Ishrat Manzil or Pleasure House in Persian. The owner was a Moslem lawyer or munshi whose name was Mobarak Ali.

It was under Mobarak Ali that Motilal learned to become a munshi. This eventually stood him in good stead as he did earn a lot of money later as a qualified lawyer and purchased the Ishrat Manzil from his boss, Mobarak Ali and renamed it Anand Bhavan.

This name of Ishrat Manzil used to cause some trouble in the matter of delivery of letters and other mail. It was so because there was another Ishrat Manzil in the same town of Allahabad; this one belonged to Akbar Illahabadi, a prominent Moslem resident of the town. Often letters to the two Ishrat Manzils got mixed up.

Although Jawahar was born in that building in the red light district of Mir Ganj, the rented house of Motilal, Jawahar did not grow up there. No records have been kept for the first eight years of Jawahar's life. No one knows where he grew up. Only conjectures were made. There are no photographs of the kid or friends with whom he used to play. Jawahar just disappeared from his father's house in the red light district Mir Ganj of Allahabad, for a period of eight years.

In other countries, the nation preserves the birthplaces of their first prime ministers or presidents. Take the United States for instance. Everyone knows that President Abraham Lincoln was born a poor man's son, in a log cabin. Even to this day, that log cabin has been preserved with a lot of love and care by the American nation, for future generations to see.

Abraham Lincoln, as soon as he became the president of the United States, did not destroy that log cabin where he was born. But things were different for Pandit Nehru. Soon after he became the first prime minister of India, he arranged to demolish that building where Motilal had lived for many years and Jawahar was born.

And the canard was floated that Pandit Nehru was born in the Anand Bhavan and our people bought that story, although there was no such Anand Bhavan then in the whole of Allahabad!

*Well, it all happened this way. Jawahar Lal's father's name was Motilal Nehru and Motilal's father's name was Gangadhar Nehru.

Gangadhar Nehru was a police officer in Delhi (and not Kashmir) under the British. He fought AGAINST the freedom fighters of 1857. He was just a small police officer; he lived near a nullah or canal in Delhi. In Persian a nullah is

called nehr. And thus the family surname became Nehru (one who lives on the banks of a nehr).

Gangadhar perhaps had a previous family name (all Hindus have) before but that was supplanted by the name Nehru.

Gangadhar's son was Motilal Nehru. He did not have much of an education or profession. Motilal was still in his teens when a marriage was arranged for him. Soon after the marriage, he had a son. But the wife and the son died leaving Motilal a widower and single, again.

Writes K.N. Rao in his book, The Nehru Dynasty, on pages 48-49: "Jawaharlal was described as the only son of Motilal which was incorrect. He was the only surviving son. (Underline mine) His father Motilal had married while still in his teens, and had a son. But both his wife and son died.

Motilal married again, this time Swarup Rani, whose first child, a son, did not live long. Then on 14 November 1889 was born Jawaharlal...

"Jawaharlal was the third son of Motilal, and the second son from Swarup Rani. The first son of Motilal from the first wife had died along with his mother. The first son of Swarup Rani too had died. Jawahar was to be the sole surviving son of Motilal and Swarup. Strangely in 1905 another son was born to Motilal, by a sheer coincidence, on 14 November 1905, but he too did not survive.

Thus Motilal had four sons, one from the first wife and three from the second. The only son of his who survived was Jawaharlal..."

..............How Motilal named his only son:

It is very interesting to learn how Motilal chose his son's name. One morning, Motilal and Swarup Rani were on their way to the Ganges for the morning dip in the holy water.

Swarup was heavy with her child. On the way, a Hindu sadhu (monk) saw them and he flew into a rage at the sight of the couple.

Motilal approached the sadhu and asked what the problem was. The sadhu, quite angry, advised him to get an abortion done for, in the opinion of the sadhu, Motilal's wife was carrying a demon, one if allowed to live, will do untold harm to the country. He suggested even killing the mother by using poison or zaher (in Hindi). Then the sadhu left.

Motilal returned to his wife who was quite perturbed. Swarup, being at a certain distance did not fully hear the conversation with the sadhu but was

aware of the fact that the monk was somehow not happy at all. She did hear the word zaher meaning poison.

Motilal hid the facts from Swarup and said that the sadhu was insistent on the child's name. When Swarup asked why was the sadhu talking about zaher, Motilal lied and told her that the sadhu wanted the child's name to be Jawahar (Hindi for Jewel) and not zaher, for it was going to be a baby boy.

It was thus that the son's name was chosen to be Jawahar and Lal (from Motilal's own name).

.................Mobarak Ali's boon?

In India, like in many other countries, all parents long for sons. In the case of Motilal, however, he seemed quite incapable of fathering a son. After failing two consecutive times, Motilal is said to have offered Swarup to his boss, for two reasons. One was to pay his boss who was teaching him the profession of a munshi or a lawyer as well as to earn his blessing in the form of son, or 'boon' like in olden times.

Mobarak had a son; his name was Manzur Ali. He too was educated in England. In any event, at the time when Motilal gravitated to Mir Ganj, the red light district of Allahabad, he was financially in a very straitened circumstance.

It is not positively known if Motilal and Swarup Rani were even married in accordance with Hindu rites. With his meagre earnings as an apprentice lawyer, he dabbled in part-time brothel keeping. And to let Swarup Rani out to sleep with Motilal's clients was nothing unusual.

Motilal's other girls were doing the same for him anyway. Can anyone imagine why a newly married couple should rent a house in Mir Ganj?

It is often said that Motilal had fathered many sons elsewhere. It is said that among his sons were Sayed Hussain, Rafi Ahmad Kidwai and even Shaikh Abdullah. But that the man was an inveterate womanizer, of that there is no doubt. In fact, Sayed Hussain's relationship of a half-brother to Vijaya Lakshmi, forced Motilal to oppose that marriage.

There was no other reason for this agnostic personality, who had a great number of Moslem friends, to stand in the way of this wedding. However, that Motilal could not have a son of his own can be imputed to his philandering habits. In medical terms, Motilal's profligacy prevented him from acquiring adequate sperm count to have a son; it was mostly too low.

This son should really have been born in Mobarak Ali's own house, Ishrat Manzil. But Mobarak Ali, who was aware of the true paternity of the

forthcoming child of Swarup's, did not want to share his property between Motilal's offspring (a bastard for Mobarak Ali) and his own son, Manzur Ali; in Islamic law even bastards have equal shares in property of the natural father.

Thus, Jawahar Lal was born in that brothel building. However, to make amends later, within a few weeks of the birth, Jawahar Lal was removed from that house of ill repute. The so called son of Motilal was brought up in the harem of the Nawab of Oudh till he was eight years-old. It was then that Jawahar was returned to Motilal and Motilal had by about that time procured Mobarak Ali's house and named it Anand Bhavan.

It is thus a fact, that although Jawahar Lal was born in that brothel house at Mir Ganj, he was not reared there. To remove the thought of that house where he was born, Jawahar Lal Nehru, as soon as he became the prime minister of the unhappy land, destroyed the building. His propoaganda machinery was activated to proclaim that Jawahar Lal was born in the Anand Bhavan.

What is amazing is that this fact of Jawahar's birth at Mir Ganj, is known to many in India but the common people do not know it.

.............Jawahar, a son without a father:

Soon after his return to Motilal, Jawahar was sent to Britain for higher studies. Although at the time, Motilal was earning high fees by milking the widow of a Rani of a native state, it is said that Mobarak Ali shared the expenses for Jawahar's education in England; aftr all, he was his son too!

In all these comings and goings, Jawahar never did have a proper family life at an age when children's characters are formed. The earliest picture of Jawahar that one can see today is the one featuring in an oil painting hanging in the Lucknow Legislative Assembly Hall. It shows the Nawab of Oudh and an eight-year-old boy by his side. Jawahar Lal Nehru is that eight-year-old boy standing by the side of the Nawab.

It is immensely surprising that there does not exist a single picture of Jawahar taken between his birth (on Nov. 14, 1889) and the age of eight years or so. The reason is that inside a Moslem harem, picture taking is verboten.

It is still unknown who are the ladies that suckled Jawahar during his eight-year-stay inside the harem of the Nawab of Oudh! His education, till then, was really of no consequence. His mother tongue was NOT Kashmiri, the language spoken by most Kashmiri pandits but Urdu spoken in Oudh.
