Best Answer

Ghiyasuddin Ghazi.

Reason:The Nehru-Gandhi dynasty starts

with the Mughal man named

Ghiyasuddin Ghazi. He was the

City Kotwal i.e. police officer of

Delhi prior to the uprising of

1857, under the Mughal rule.

After capturing Delhi in 1857, in

the year of the mutiny, the

British were slaughtering all

Mughals everywhere. The British

made a thorough search and

killed every Mughal so that there

were no future claimant to the

throne of Delhi.

Therefore, it

became customary for many

Mohammedans to adopt Hindu

names. So, the man Ghiyasuddin

Ghazi adopted a Hindu name

Gangadhar Nehru and thus

saved his life by the subterfuge.

Ghiyasuddin Ghazi apparently

used to reside on the bank of a

canal (or Nehr) near the Red

Fort. Thus, he adopted the name

�Nehru� as the family name.

Through out the world, we do

not find any descendant other

than that of Gangadhar, having

the surname Nehru.
