The Nehrus are a dynasty without precedent in the modern world; nowhere else and at no other time in recent history has a single family wielded such enduring and pervasive power over the country – and the electorate – they serve. From Jawaharlal Nehru to his daughter, Indira Gandhi, and from there, via Sanjay and Rajiv to – most recently – Sonia, this remarkable family have consistently established both the parameters and rhetoric of India’s political development. In the eighties, Tariq Ali made several trips to India, meeting a wide range of political and public figures, including Mrs Gandhi, and leaders of both the Congress and Opposition parties. The Nehrus and the Gandhis, first published in 1985, was the result. Now updated to include the most recent chapters in India’s political history, it remains as relevant as ever, offering an intricate and revealing portrait of power, seen through the continued rise – and eyes – of one family.

In Dynasty, biographer Pranay Gupte sheds light on the Nehrus and Gandhis of India, the longest lasting political dynasty in the modern world. The family's origins can be controversially traced back 200 years to Kashmir, where the Nehrus belonged to the Kashmiri Brahman Pandit class, and it has been in power for nearly a century. Since its patriarch, British-trained lawyer and Indian National Movement activist, Motilal Nehru, ascended to the presidency of the National Congress, the family has produced three Prime Ministers—Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. The current leader of the Congress Party, Italian-born Sonia Gandhi, is widely perceived as the most powerful woman in contemporary Indian politics, and her son, Rahul Gandhi, is the anointed successor. It is a dynasty that has ruled through statesmanship, guile and political savvy. It has enjoyed enormous popularity and power, suffered enormous tragedy (Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi were assassinated), and reversals of fortune. Most notably it wrested India from British colonial control and defined Independent India from its inception in 1948. Yet the founding prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, was an intimate friend of the wife of Lord Mountbatten, Britain's last viceroy. Except for a brief period—during the time of Indira Gandhi, and again after her death—the family has ruled by popular mandate, unlike other dynasties and autocracies in South Asia and the East. In this sense, the Nehrus/Gandhis are closer to the great ruling dynasties of the West, such as the Kennedys and the Bushes. The story of that family, its ambitions and striving for power, is gripping.

Motilal Nehru and Jawaharlal Nehru are both prominent Indian men in their own right. Motilal is known as a widely successful civil lawyer and a popular political figure, while Jawaharlal made his mark as a firm nationalist leader and possible heir of the Mahatma. This book serves as a discussion of Motilal’s life and achievements, and looks into the first four decades of Jawaharlal’s life. It shows that while the father–son tandem played different roles in the nationalist struggle of India, their close emotional bonds helped them influence each other. Their story can be combined with that of the Indian freedom movement. The book covers a number of important events in the lives of the Nehrus—from Motilal’s childhood in Agra, Jawaharlal’s acceptance into Trinity College, and Jawaharlal’s entry into the political arena, to the father–son conflict over the changing political atmosphere in India. This book also takes a look at several notable individuals who play important roles in Motilal and Jawaharlal’s lives. These include Annie Besant, the leader of the Home Rule movement, and Mahatma Gandhi, the fierce fighter for India’s independence.
