Nehru_Gandhi Dynasty of The Republic of India (1947-present)
The Nehru–Gandhi family is a prominent Indian political dynasty. Their political involvement has traditionally revolved around the Indian National Congress. Members of the family have traditionally led the Congress party and the Republic of India since independence. The Guardian wrote in 2007 "The 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."
