Political families of India

Nehru–Gandhi family The Nehru–Gandhi family's involvement with the Congress Party began with Motilal Nehru in the 1920s, when India was still part of the British Empire. The family became more influential under his son, Jawaharlal Nehru, who became a prominent figure in India's nationalist movement. After Jawaharlal's death, his daughter Indira Gandhi became his political heir, whose surname comes from her husband, Feroze Gandhi. The Nehru-Gandhi dynasty has dominated the Congress Party since Indian independence in 1947. The party was defeated in the 2014 elections, however, and high-level defections took place in Maharashtra, Assam, West Bengal, and Jammu and Kashmir. The family still has widespread name recognition. • Motilal Nehru - Freedom fighter, politician and lawyer • Jawaharlal Nehru - Freedom fighter, first Indian Prime Minister, 1947–1964 (son of Motilal) • Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit - Member of Parliament, diplomat (daughter of Motilal) • Kamala Nehru - Congress party leader (wife of Jawaharlal) • Indira Gandhi - Prime minister, 1966–1977 and 1980–1984 (daughter of Jawaharlal) • Feroze Gandhi - Freedom fighter, politician, journalist (husband of Indira) • Rajiv Gandhi - Prime minister, 1984–1989 (son of Feroze and Indira) • Sonia Gandhi - Former President of the Congress party, leading it to victory in two successive Lok Sabha elections (wife of Rajiv) • Rahul Gandhi - Member of Parliament, leader of opposition, former Congress Party president (son of Rajiv and Sonia) • Priyanka Gandhi - Member of parliament, Congress party general secretary (daughter of Rajiv and Sonia) • Robert Vadra - Businessman, entrepreneur (husband of Priyanka) • Sanjay Gandhi - Politician (son of Feroze and Indira) • Maneka Gandhi - Cabinet member of Narendra Modi's government (wife of Sanjay Gandhi) • Varun Gandhi - Former Member of Parliament (son of Sanjay) • Uma Nehru - Member of Parliament (aunt of Indira) • Arun Nehru - Former minister (nephew of Indira, grandson of Uma) == Andhra Pradesh & Telangana ==

The Lal Trio denotes the influential trio of politicians originating from the Indian state of Haryana. Consisting of Devi Lal, Bansi Lal, and Bhajan Lal, these figures emerged as central pillars in Haryana's political landscape, shaping its governance and policies over several decades.
