The Nehru family traced their ancestry to the Brahmins of Jammu and Kashmir and Delhi. Indira's grandfather, Motilal Nehru, was a wealthy barrister of Allahabad in what is now Uttar Pradesh. Nehru was also one of the most prominent members of the Indian National Congress in pre-Gandhi times and would go on to author the Nehru Report, the people's choice for a future Indian system of government as opposed to the British, non-Indian Simon Commission report in 1928. Her father Jawaharlal Nehru was a well-educated lawyer and was a popular leader of the Indian Independence Movement. Indira was born to his young wife Kamala as Nehru entered the struggle and Mahatma Gandhi prepared the masses for a new kind of revolution. Jawahar had a host of other affairs, including one with Lady Mountbatten, the vice-roy's wife.
