Feroze Gandhi (born Feroze Jehangir Ghandy;〔 〕 12 September 1912 – 8 September 1960) was an Indian politician and journalist. He served as the publisher of the ''The National Herald'' and ''The Navjivan'' newspapers from Lucknow. He was the husband of Indira Gandhi and the son-in-law to Jawaharlal Nehru. In 1942 he married Indira Nehru (later Prime Minister of India) and they had two sons, Rajiv Gandhi and Sanjay Gandhi, and thus became part of the Nehru-Gandhi family. His elder son, Rajiv, later also went on to become the Prime Minister of India.〔(A forgotten patriot: Feroze Gandhi made a mark in politics at a comparatively young age.. ) The Hindu, 20 October 2002.〕 He became a member of the provincial parliament (1950–1952), and later a member of the Lok Sabha, the Lower House of India's parliament. He was not related to Mahatma Gandhi.〔Lyon, Peter (2008) ''Conflict Between India and Pakistan: An Encyclopedia''. Santa Barbara: ABC-CLIO. p. 64. ISBN 978-1576077122. "Feroze Gandhi was no relation of Mahatma Gandhi."〕 ==Early life== Feroze Jehangir Ghandy was born to a Parsi family at the Tehmulji Nariman Hospital situated in Fort, Bombay. His parents, Faredoon Jehangir and Ratimai (formerly Ratimai Commissariat), lived in Nauroji Natakwala Bhawan in Khetwadi Mohalla in Bombay. His father Jehangir Ghandy was a Marine Engineer in Killick Nixon and was later promoted as a Warrant Engineer.〔 Feroze was the youngest of the five children with two brothers Dorab Gandhi and Faridun Jehangir Gandhi, and two sisters, Tehmina Kershashp Gandhi and Aloo Gandhi Dastur. The family had migrated to Bombay from Bharuch in South Gujarat where their ancestral home, which belonged to his grandfather, still exists in Kotpariwad. In the early 1920s, after the death of his father, Feroze and his mother moved to Allahabad to live with his unmarried maternal aunt, Shirin Commissariat, a surgeon at the city's Lady Dufferin Hospital (Biographer Katherine Frank has speculated that Feroze was in fact the biological son of Shirin Commissariat.) He attended the Vidya Mandir High School and then graduated from the British-staffed Ewing Christian College.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Feroze Gandhi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
