Indira Gandhi is what relation to Mahatma Gandhi?

Not at all. There was no blood relation.There is no direct relationship. Indira Gandhi ( the daughter of muslin ) not daughter of Jawaharlal was married to Feroze ( Khan ) Gandhi, no relation to Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi.Indira took the name of Gandhi when she married Feroze ( Khan ) Gandhi, who was not related to Mahatma Gandhi either (although Wikipedia claims Mahatma Gandhi adopted Feroze ( Khan ) only court afffidavite changed the name so he could marry Indira, but another source says he was persuaded--not adopted--by Mahatma to change his surname).However, Indira was the daughter of another prominent political leader of 20th century India, Jawaharlal Nehru (1889-1964), the first prime minister of India and a protege of Mohandas GandhiMahatma Gandhi or Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Indira Gandhi or not directly related. This is a politically coerced relation. Indira Gandhi married Feroze Khan, a Muslim. Politically this was a disaster because the Congress Party through which Mrs Gandhi ran for Prime Minister would loose all Non Moslem Votes. So under political pressure Mr Khan was forced to change his name to Gandhi. This would help FOOL the local population that the then Prime Ministerial Candidate Mrs Gandhi was related to Mahatma Gandhi. In fact there is ABSOLUTELY no relation with the Gandhi Surname and Mrs Indira Gandhi. Indira's maiden name was Nehru and her married surname was Khan. So if she choose to keep her maiden name , she'd have sounded like Indira Nehru . The word Gandhi came out of nowhere . So the summarize , the reasons are :-- Political Coercion .-- Misrepresentation to create a false association with Mohandas Gandhi and garner votes using his surnameEven today , the political campaign billboards feature Sonia Gandhi ( aka Maino ) , Rahul Gandhi ( aka Raul Maino ) and Mohandas Gandhi ( aka Mahatma Gandhi ) together .No they were not related but Mohandas Gandhi Adopted Fer oz Khan . Who turned to Fer oz Gandhi only because Indira was a Hindu who could not marry a Muslim and Jawarlal Nehru din not want to be disgraced in front of the government because he was a true Hindu therefore Mohandas adopted him and got the two (Fer oz And Indira) married. so Jawarlal `s image wasn't ruined in front of the government.so in the end they were related.
