What India@75 owes Rajiv Gandhi (The Indian Express)

Bhupinder Singh Hooda writes: From Panchayati Raj to youth empowerment and technology revolution, Rajiv Gandhi laid many foundations in his short tenure.

Rajivji brought the Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms under the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) — this was a watershed moment in the endeavour to improve administrative efficiency in the country. Rajivji was unequivocal in asserting that the youth should be empowered, educated and skilled to build a social order premised on equality, justice and liberty. He emphasised the importance of morality in public life — all this through consent, conciliation, participation and persuasion. I can proudly state that the first Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya in the country was opened in a village in Jhajjar district, a part of my parliamentary constituency. The Lower House passed the Bill but it was defeated in the [Rajya Sabha](https://indianexpress.com/article/india/parliament-monsoon-session-live-updates-rajya-sabha-lok-sabha-8035871/). The task to empower people through PRIs was not easy but he did not give up. The idea of “Vigyan Gaon Ki Aur” was close to his heart. Even his political opponents agree that Rajivji was a modern leader and receptive to ideas. At the age of 40, he became the youngest Prime Minister of India, blessed with the ability to recognise our challenges and opportunities as a nation. The Panchayati Raj and Nagar Palika Bills were watershed moments in our collective efforts toward inclusive political growth. Today, she has risen to the highest position in the country. The credit for this goes to Rajiv Gandhi’s vision.

On his 78th birthday, former PM Rajiv Gandhi is remembered through his relationships – with mother Indira Gandhi and childhood friend and superstar Amitabh ...

When Amitabh was struggling to get a foothold in the Hindi film industry, comedy king Mehmood was his patron and there were many lighter moments. By Amitabh’s own admission, it was Rajiv and Sanjay who exposed him to avant-garde cinema at a young age through the European films that were specially screened for the Gandhi family at Rashtrapati Bhawan. Both Amitabh and Rajiv had a good laugh. The money was the signing amount for taking the young man in Mehmood’s next project.” Anwar then had to reintroduce Amitabh’s friend to Mehmood, stressing that he was Rajiv, son of prime minister Indira Gandhi. Mrs Gandhi became the prime minister and the family moved to 1 Safdarjung Road, which was close to our home at 13 Willingdon Crescent. In another biography, Amitabh had traced the Gandhi-Bachchan family ties and said: “Rajiv and Sanjay studied in Doon School, Ajitabh and I were in Nainital... When Nehru got the news of grandson, he wrote, “The birth of a new member of the family always makes one feel reminiscent and remember one’s childhood days and other births. Krishna Hutheesing wrote in a book titled, ‘Dear to Behold - An Intimate Portrait of Indira Gandhi’, how her niece was nervous and afraid. He even wrote to his sister Krishna Hutheesing to get a proper horoscope to be drawn up by a “competent” person for the baby. Indira Gandhi had moved to Bombay in March to live with her aunt Krishna as her husband Feroze and father were in prison. Dr VN Shirodkar of Cumballa Hill Hospital was a well-known gynaecologist who had helped with the delivery.
