Sharad Gupta
The featured article below has been taken from the Daily
Indian Express of New Delhi of August 29, 1997. It was
written by Sharad Gupta of Lucknow. A copy was received
from a friend in New Delhi only a short while ago. The Sword
of Truth online magazine had presented several articles in
the recent past on the Nehrus in its columns. They were
based on material gleaned piecemeal from various sources
and then put together. We would request our readers to
specially go through the two articles named herewith:
We send our heartfelt thanks to the Delhi friend for the copy
of the original article by Sharad Gupta, reproduced verbatim
in the following pages.
Vijay Laxmi Pandit and Krishna Nehru too were born at 77,
Mirganj. The entire locality is now a red light area.
Afterword
8. In the Indian Express text, it has been said that Moti Lal
moved to Allahabad from Agra. Why Agra and why not
Kashmir? Wasn't Moti Lal a Kashmiri? Please read up "The
Story of Gangadhar, Father of Motilal" from our archives. It
will tell you how Gangadhar was chased out of Delhi where
he was a high Mughal officer, by the Sikh and Gorkha
soldiers of the East India Company; how he fled to Agra with
his family and was intercepted by the English forces on the
way; how he lived for some time in Agra and so on. Motilal
had therefore come back to Allahabad from where else but
Agra and not Kashmir!
Next time, our readers! When you visit North India, please
make it a point to visit the all important Imambada of
Mirganj, the Janamsthan of Jawahar, the first Prime Minister
of India!
