Bold and Beautiful
Outlook’s done a commendable job in publishing a review of Katherine Frank’s Indira (Mrs G’s String of Beaus, March 26). It shows Mrs Gandhi as just another human even if some narrow-minded people think it’s a bad idea.

Though her troubled relationship with Feroze was well-known, it doesn’t mean that Indira was sexually close to other people. After all, there’s no concrete evidence in support of her relationship except the claims of some people.

If I was in the bjp, I’d hasten the release of this book. The Congress would be too busy burning copies to bother any more with the Tehelka revelations. Let’s face it. Even 17 years after her death, She makes for a better copy than her daughter-in-law.

Even though I was in jail during Emergency, I refuse to read such nonsense about Indira Gandhi.

After the Beaus, the Arrows
Why do Indians find it difficult to believe that their leaders can have a sex life too (Mrs G’s String of Beaus, March 26)? It’s not possible for ordinary mortals to be maryada purushottam Ramas, and Indira Gandhi, or anybody else for that matter, was but a human being. Indians have to go a long way before becoming really democratic in their thoughts without resorting to burning down or pelting stones at anything that they might have an objection to.

I think you guys ought to be ashamed of yourselves for cashing in on somebody’s personal life, and that too after their death.

Nehru too had a legendary sexual appetite and his lovers included Padmaja Naidu, Shradda Mata and Lady Mountbatten, amongst several others. Indira was after all Nehru's daughter. So it is understandable that she inherited more than just the Congress party from him!
