At 40, Mr. Rajiv Gandhi was the youngest Prime Minister of India, perhaps even one of the youngest elected heads of Government in the world. His mother, Smt. Indira Gandhi, was eight years older when she first became Prime Minister in 1966. His illustrious grandfather, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, was 58 when he started the long innings of 17 years as free India’s first Prime Minister.
As the harbinger of a generational change in the country, Shri Gandhi received the biggest mandate in the nation’s history. He ordered elections to the Lok Sabha, the directly elected house of the Indian Parliament, as soon as mourning for his slain mother was over. In that election, the Congress, got a much higher proportion of the popular vote than in the preceding seven elections and captured a record 401 seats out of 508.
Such an impressive start as the leader of 700 million Indians would have been remarkable under any circumstance. What makes it even more unique is that Shri Gandhi was a late and reluctant entrant into politics even though he belonged to an intensely political family that had served India for four generations – both during the freedom struggle and afterwards.
Shri Rajiv Gandhi was born on August 20, 1944, in Bombay. He was just three when India became independent and his grandfather became Prime Minister. His parents moved to New Delhi from Lucknow. His father, Feroze Gandhi, became an M.P., and earned a reputation as a fearless and hard-working Parliamentarian.
Rajiv Gandhi spent his early childhood with his grandfather in the Teen Murti House, where Indira Gandhi served as the Prime Minister’s hostess. He briefly went to school at Welham Prep in Dehra Dun but soon moved to the residential Doon School in the Himalayan foothills. There he made many lifelong friendships and was also joined by his younger brother, Sanjay.
After leaving school, Shri Gandhi went to Trinity College, Cambridge, but soon shifted to the Imperial College (London). He did a course in mechanical engineering. He really was not interested in ‘mugging for his exams’, as went on to admit later.

We can be very charitable and say that Rajiv was a kind and good person in heart but he was definitely not a good PM.
He had a huge mandate and least opposition from within and outside his party. He was fresh and unpolluted by the political waters. He was Mr. Clean and a young leader who had a vision for India into the 21st Century. He was not driven by lust for power or money or vindictive or carried any baggage of the past. Yet, he failed to deliver.
He wanted to steer the economy in the right way (which his successor PVNR did with aplomb 6 years later) but didn’t know where to begin. He wanted to do reforms in the Muslim law but buckled to Mullah pressure in the Shah Bano case. He had an abundant talent available yet he depended on the coterie of his friends and formed a kitchen cabinet. He just could not get along with the older lot of his congressmen while he could have used someone like PVNR to bring Kamaraj Plan again to weed out the oldies. Instead, he unnecessarily picked up issues with the President Zail Singh who pushed his candidature to the PM post. He ignored saner advice and got into the Sri Lankan issue which ultimately cost him his life. His lack of experience showed in everything he did. All he needed was good counsel and capable administrators. Realising that he is on a weak wicket, people like V P Singh made a mincemeat of him in the overblown Bofors case. A good man with a confused direction at best.
