The Gandhi dynasty is not descended from the M.K "Mahatma" Gandhi who fought for independence. It is descended from Nehru though, through Indira Gandhi (née Nehru).

Nehru did fight for independence though.

By "the ... Gandi who did X" I meant, "as opposed to the other Gandhis who didn't X".

But you did agree Nehru fought for the independence, who's these current Gandhis are direct descendants.

I said nothing on the matter. Neither for nor against. Please stop trying to put words in my mouth.

An interview with Nehru. Not to prove anything..
