The Tempestuous Nehru Dynasty of India

The Brother's Wife
Sanjay Gandhi's politically ambitious wife Maneka, a journalist and environmentalist, proved to be a thorn in the side of, first, her mother-in-law Indira, then Rajiv and, then, Sonia, who after Rajiv's death was eventually coaxed into leading the Congress Party. Maneka would join various opposition parties, including the Bharatiya Janata Party, which espoused Hindu nationalism as its core tenet. She would be in various cabinets of governments opposed to the Congress party run by her relatives.
