- A 4 part documentary series chronicling the fascinating and often tragic story of the Nehru/Gandhi family and their quest to lead India to peace and prosperity. Based on diaries, letters, contemporary journalistic accounts, and hitherto unseen archive footage, new research and exclusive interviews with politicians, business leaders, family members and colleagues of the Nehru-Gandhis, The Dynasty traces the rise of the family from 1857 through India's independence in 1948, and on through the ill-fated reigns of Indira and Rajiv Gandhi. The unique access of the series to the personal accounts of Indian, British and other foreign observers provides a new and intimate perspective on the passions and rivalries of Eastern royalty, and an exhaustive tour of fifty years of war, imprisonment and terrorism, tragedy and triumph. This in-depth, insightful series chronicles the dynasty and their long lasting influence on the largest democracy in the world. Episode 1 looks at the period from 1857 to 1947 - taking us through the height of the East India Company and the British colonial enterprise in India, the start of the Indian independence movement of which lawyer Motilal Nehru was a leading light and finally to independence gained in 1947. Episode 2 chronicles the tenure of Jawaharlal Nehru as India's first PM. How does a newly formed nation stand on its own feet? How does the rest of the world deal with her? how does she make a stamp of her own? Episode 3 sees Indira Gandhi becoming PM after the death of Lal Bahadur Shastri. Her style of leadership stood in stark contrast to her father. In her time, she called a national emergency, calling all power to the PM's office and earning herself the title of a dictator. Thankfully better sense prevailed and she called elections - which she then went on to lose. The people were not forgiving of a tyrant. However she came back just two years later. She was gunned down in front of her home by members of her own security detail. Episode 4 sees the days of Rajiv Gandhi - the reluctant PM. A man who had to step into his mother's shoes after her assassination. Young, modern and forward looking, this erstwhile pilot had to grapple with the oldest political party in India - one which wasn't exactly happy to move forward with him.
