“Feroze Gandhi was clearly a very intelligent, outgoing,
magnetic man. Indira fell deeply in love with him, and remained in love with him even when they were partially estranged and living apart. According to those close to her at the time, she was devastated by Feroze’s early death.”

“The Parsis were then regarded as the most civilized people amongst Indians, and when the complete European style seemed to be unsuited,
we adopted the Parsi style. Accordingly my wife wore Parsi sari, and the boys the Parsi coat and trousers. Of course no one could be without shoes and stockings...”
