Rajiv Gandhi Jayanti images wish 20 August 2017.#Gandhi was a scion of the politically powerful Nehru Gandhi family, which had been associated with the Indian National Congress party. For much of his childhood, his maternal grandfather# Jawaharlal Nehru was Prime Minister. Gandhi attended college in the United Kingdom. He returned to India in 1966 and became a professional pilot for the state-owned Indian Airlines. In 1968 he married Sonia Gandhi; the couple settled in Delhi to a domestic life with their children Rahul @Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi V#adra. For much of the 1970s, his mother Indira Gandhi was prime minister and his brother Sanjay Gandhi (earlier Sanjay) an MP; despite this, Rajiv Gandhi remained apolitical. After Sanjay's death in an aeroplane crash in 1980, Gandhi reluctantly entered politics at the behest of Indira. The following year he won his brother's Parliamentary seat of Amethi and became a member of the Lok Sabha the lower house of India's Parliament. As part of his #political grooming, Rajiv was made a general secretary of the Congress party and given significant responsibility in organising the 1982 Asian Games.
