Nehru-Gandhi Family:
The Nehru-Gandhi family is one of the most famous political families in the world and a powerful one in India. The Nehru–Gandhi family is a famous Indian political family. Their political involvement has usually revolved around the Indian National Congress. The family name originates with Indira Nehru-Gandhi. Members of the family have habitually led the Congress party and the Republic of India since independence.
The Guardian in 2007 wrote "The [Nehru] Gandhi brand has no peer in the world - a member of the Gandhi family has been in charge of India for 40 of the 60 years since independence. The allure of India's first family blends the right to rule of British monarchy with the tragic glamour of America's Kennedy clan." The first prime minister of India after independence in 1947 was Jawaharlal Nehru. Sonia Gandhi has been the President of the Indian National Congress Party and Rahul Gandhi the general-secretary of the Congress Party.
