" India is an old country but a young nation "... I dream of India strong, independent, self reliant and in the front rank in the nations of the world in the service of mankind " Great words by former PM of India, Shri Rajiv Gandhi ji. Respected Sima Garewalji,an excellent documentary on the life of Shri Rajiv Gandhi ji with heart touching script, narration and presentaton. Many salutes from me. As a PM of this nation, I think his tenure was excellent and memorable . During his tenure, our nation got technologically updated and emerged as a regional power.Great achievement.. The talks of eminent personalities which are shown in documentaty indicate how honest, simple,humble, pure hearted man he was.. One must notice his facial expressions during his talks on any topic or on any acassion... So simple, humble and smiling. . He was more concerned for the upliftment of oppressed, depressed,, exploited and poor. He was a strong believer of secularism, equality, humanity and human values. There are lot many things to be learnt from life of Rajiv ji My humble tributes to this great man, great human being. Simi Garewal madam Thanks from heart.🙏🙏🙏.

Such a simple , honest , humble person Rajiv was . Narender Modi should be ashamed of himself , to call him corrupt . Its India's misfortune that we lost him so early . Thanks to Simi for making this documentary so that people of India can judge who is corrupt and who is fooling nation by their evil n nasty politics .

Such a well spoken and well mannered person who can make a point without shouting and screaming and using loudspeakers. His energy and his mannerisms show that he is sensitive and good for the job. Wish he lived longer, at least ten more years

We grew up watching Mr.Rajiv Gandhi signing up, meeting and shaking hands with other great leaders from all over the world. We used to watch only Doordarshan National channel then and admire this well mannered,well spoken and very matured person. We are missing such a visionary leadership who is less in criticising others and focussing on own work and own improvements. Hope every young indian watch this master piece by Simi ma'am and clear their misconceptions in this fake media world. Thank you so much ma'am. It's such a great honour to watch this and cherish the memories 🙏

Rajiv Gandhi is very special to me. I dont exactly know why.. By the time he died I was just about 7 years old. But that moment had a profound effect on me. I still remember seeing his sad funeral with my little eyes on Doordarshan so many years ago. That smiling photo of his which was placed near his body on the gun carriage was firmly etched in my mind. The tale of his death was always a mystery to me and I was very curious to know about it. Then I started to learn more about him and till day I have collected about 7 - 8 books on his assassination. I have also preserved 4 magazines issued in 1991 which covered news of his death. And a dozen more about 25 to 30 magazines published by India Today, The Week, Frontline, Sunday, The Illustrated Weekly etc that covered Rajiv Gandhi's period starting from the early 1980s. Everytime I miss him, I just come to watch Simi's amazing documentary. I have watched these for about 50-60 times.. but still I just come here to see Rajiv's smile, his talk and his expression of love for India and her people. I have never loved and admired any other politician more than him. I shall miss him till my last breath. Thank you Simi ji.. you have frozen Rajiv's happy memory for us for all eternity 🙏❤️

In part one Rajeev looks on brink of breaking down while attending Indira's funeral but he controlled his emotions! How much he had suffered! He lost his father, brother and finally mother! He himself was assassinated years later! And still people abuse him! What a shame! The current prime minister should watch these videos before calling him corrupt! Rajeev was such a jem! Thank you Simi for sharing these videos! I had only read about him but never watched his interview before. Thanks a ton!

I am a punjabi sikh and had always abhorred The Gandhi's for the attack on the Golden Temple. But after watching this documentary on Rajiv Gandhi my heart bleeds, as he was taken too soon. From today on my favorite leader of independent India would be The Visionary , a beautiful soul Rajiv Gandhi. A salute from the bottom of my heart.

People blaming GANDHI FAMILY for looting. Seriously. They r the ones who transformed India

Had Rajiv been alive today India would have been on no. 1 position.. with such a decent personality and honest approach a well desciplined PM of India.. a highly educated and immense level of understanding every aspects in politics so minutely. HATS OFF TO HIM..

i m speechless after watching Rajeev Gandhi. he was such a great person, so innocent, i have never seen a person so cool n calm, humble when he was in power. who accepts his faults so clearly. till now i did not like any politician. but now i admire Rajeev Gandhi.we need such. P. M. at present. salute to him.

This is how an educated PM talks. Such a pure soul gone too soon. Such a good interview series Simiji. My heart goes out to the Gandhi family. They went through hell but still fighting. That's what human spirit is about. In hindi we say - khaandani log. Such nice, educated, liberal people. Listening to him, Indira ji is like sitting with scholars. Wow.

Dream of Rajivji.." where india is back in the leadership of human civilization, like it was 1000 years ago, perhaps more, an India where poverty is removed, where there is social justice, where every human being can live with dignity, where human rights are fully guaranteed, where every human being matters, where every living thing matters, , its also an India which is economically strong, India with its rightful place in the world, India which sends out its message of tolerance and compassion and secularism of one humanity to the whole world"..i m so touched by this message..wonder if we would ever get such humble, highly educated, dignified, grounded, committed, ethical prime minister who sacrificed his family life to develop India n later laid down his life for the principles he believed in..n became martyrs..Rajivji u will always be deep in our heart mind n soul..

This video changed my perception about Rajiv Gandhi. This man was a great intellect , unfortunate for India to lose him so early

Coming back here today the 2nd August after the Horrors in Manipur and Haryana. India is bleeding and in need of a good leader. Rajiv we need you so bad. The country needs compassion and healing from all the divisive policies and govt's arrogance. Pray for India.

Rajiv Gandhi joined politics much against his wish but once he took charge as prime minister ,he had his task cut out and proved to be a leader par excellence . What a persona he had ! Wish we had more of Rajiv Gandhis !

I am a great fan of Rajiv ji. I got an opportunity to meet this great leader when i was in 5th std. He came to address an election rally, at that time my uncle was a congress leader (dcc member ). He took me and my brother to the meeting ground Thus we met him and Rajiv ji talked to us. I still remember his beautiful smile and loving nature. He was a wonderful human being and a good politician. But in the very next year he was assassinated. It was a shock to all people of lndia. He was very young and dynamic leader. Now congress does not have this type of leaders. We miss you, Rajivji😢😢

This family is just something else they're dedicated to the cause of the nation they're not scared of making supreme sacrifice for the country...and their simplicity is legendary

Rahul is walking on the foot steps of his father.May God be with the family.Wish we could have leaders like him in the present times.India is going through a turmoil like situation

I have a new found respect for Rajiv after watching this. Such an innocent and pure human. We don't see people like this now. Thank you Simi !

"we made a mistake" can anyone imagine this being said by any leader today? Especially the Prime Minister.?

The younger generation of today must watch this programme and try to understand and compare with the present scenario

India's Rajiv - A dynamic, simple. Calm and well educated prime minister of India.

"If it comes to die for what you believe in, I don't hesitate. " From 58:00 I was really struck, when he said this! It was not mere chest thumping or a made up speech. Literally there is sea of difference in Rajiv and Indira and all other politicians that we see today. Even Subramanian Swamy doesn't have anything bad to say about Rajiv. So glad to hear that.

We have another Prime Minister for the country now. But what a huge contrast? While Rajiv was Sublime, Majestic and represented the best of civilized humanity.

Our past prime ministers are all full of substances not like today running for camera shots...

He was way too honest for Indian Politics. What a great man

Rajiv Gandhi was truly a great Prime Minister. People of india loved him. He never spread Hatred. He cared for the poor people poor farmers and his sense of duty towards the nation was tremendous. He never criticized his opponents and his credentials were very secular. India was a Secular democratic nation.

Rajivji was an honest & humble Prime minister & able administrator .It is a pity we lost him when he was so young . Thank you Simi Grewal for this wonderful video, showing what a humble being Rajivji was .

Thanx a ton Simi for revealing Rajiv’s genuineness!! A thorough gentleman!! Nothing can the nation do to repay his loss!!

Once upon a time there was a great and humble leader in India like Rajive and Indra Gandhi I admire them

Rajeev smile was gorgeous . He has a great visions for India. Unfortunately leave us too soon!

Ms Simi Garewal, You've done a service to the nation by doing these three episodes. Plz accept heartfelt thanks to you from a fellow Indian. Best wishes!

Highly 'educated' PM filled with 'sensitivity' towards human beings and citizens.

He was the most honest and truthful, soft-spoken genuine person in Indian politics. What a brave person to sacrifice his life what he believes is right for the fellow citizen. He wasn't the leader only for India Bangladesh and Pakistan too because he wants to live with peace and harmony with his neighbors.

oh god! give us another PM like him. please show mercy on us indians .

Modi is like a wild gorilla and Rajiv sir was like majestic calm Lion !

It feels like our politicians and journalists were much more eloquent, measured, well spoken, sensible, seemingly educated and overall polished compared to what we see and hear today. It's a pity!

"Development is not about factories, dams and roads. Development is about people. The goal is material, cultural and spiritual fulfilment for the people. The human factor is of supreme value in development."❤❤❤ ~ Rajiv Gandhi

He is so genuine and he speak very innocent. He is a great intellect and a great leader

Not only Rajeev Gandhi was young, handsome, dignified but he also had this calm and confident aura that radiated and delivered in a very charming way. There will be no one that can ever match his good looks, integrity and charisma in India again.

Those were the grand old days which is just a memory now,so peaceful and safe.We were lucky to have witnessed and be a part of this glorious era❤️

What an epitome of a personality.. and a strong example of power couple. I wonder how may villages Prime minister Modi has visited to know the very humblest people's pain and burdens. Perhaps if he lessened his international visits and focused more on Indian villages!!!!

A true leader with class!

great leader great son great husbad great father .... more than anything Great Countrymen... RIP RG

Rajiv was the only leader who would have changed the poor life & life of indians. It is unfortunate he died early. I remembered that dark day i was at 9th to 10th grade 1991 May 22nd early morning i heard Rajiv was killed 2 days there was no bus service tough times. Rajiv will be remembered. Rajiv is a true leader no doubt

Only time in history and future to come when an American president holding umbrella for an Indian prime minister .. proud moment!!

We miss u Dear Rajiv Gandhi. You are a Great Prime Minister. No one can replace you in this Great Country..Today’s leaders must learn lot from you sir...salute u 👍👍👍👍👍

So humble simple honest PM of our country. The country is technologically advanced during his tenure. His family's sacrifices towards our countrymen unforgettable. Tributes to the great PM Rajiv. We don't forget you Sir Ji.

When did our Nation will get such a brilliant, gentle, lovable and kindness leader? No more leaders to get in future such 😂😂😂😂..... when I am watching his story, his talks I can't stop my tears drops from my eyes. God has given us such an important leaders, but some of our 🎉citizens refused to accept the given of God. God has given such a great leader not for advanced citizens,but for the poor, especially homeless people, farmers, weakers section , tribals etc.

didn’t see shouting in his speech , so calm and gentle was he, not just The PM even the media ❤❤❤ ❤

Someone who joined politics much against wish ,Rajiv Gandhi proved to be a leader par excellence .Fully dedicated What a persona he had !

Rajiv said, 'I like to see the problems myself '.. - This is what I feel is missing today

I am sad all over again. yet it's great to watch our humble leader in flesh. everyone has tried very hard to repeat the same lies again and again to tarnish his reputation and legacy. his achievements are not only forgotten but are almost made to look like mistakes. if he had him for only two more terms we would have emerged as a super power.

Rajiv Gandhi Ji looks so pleasent , dignified the way he speaks too calm i m totally impressed ..... He drives his car himself being a Prime Minister no much securities such a simple adorable and Good heart person Love you Sir 😢👏

Simi ma'am... Love every episode of your show... These episodes of Sir Rajiv Gandhi are outstanding... You make us cry 😢.. In many of your interviews..Lovely narrative 👌.. Just want to give you a bbbbiiiiigggg hhhhuuggg.... Just curious 🤔 to know how are you now..🤗😊😍... Love you.... Want you to restart your shows...that are more meaningful... Looking forward to see you again on the screen...😍😍😍😍 ..

what a TRUE LEADER is Prime Minister RAJIV GANDHI. No one will ever be able to fill this man's shoes. Proud to have been born during this great man's time of leadership. SALUTATIONS FOREVER.

The present rulers should see this and bow in shame! May Unity in diversity WIN! THANKYOU FOR REMINDING US THIS IN THIS CRUSIAL MOMENT IN TIME!

Even Die heart Hindutva leaders like Subramaniyan Swami saying he was an honest man says a lot about Rajiv Gandhi as a person.. Now whenever we hear our Prime Minister speaking,we only hear an arrogant man abusing the opposition irrespective of their gender or age, Indian politics has come down to such low...

Rajiv had bigger dreams for India , he was not there for money,only for the better ment of people, and same is his son and daughter and Rajiv's wife Sonia Gandhi. Sonia Gandhi a woman whose role no women can take as an Indian

Thank you so much Simi for making this episode and uploaded on youtube. Every youth and Indian must watch this documentary.

Rajiv Gandhi is an ideal politician, one that everyone prays for. He touched and inspired so many people. The flute played in the beginning of this video is so sweet.

i never had a hero.....but if i have to name one i will say 'Rajiv.....what a beautiful soul. !!!!

He had so calm and composed demeanor. Speaks a lot about his upbringing

Every Indian must watch this !!!! Its a must!!!! India was beautiful, full of love ❤ it was definitely a nation to be soo soooo proud of before the BJP AND THE RSS

Only if Rajiv Gandhi lived longer, the face of India could have changed so earlier for good

Never and ever saw a soft spoken or genlte person like him #Rajiv sir.

How can anyone stop loving this man

such an amazing documentary. People of present generation must be made aware of him, his ideologies and his dynamism Take a bow mam

If I have to die for what I believe in , I dont hesitate. This sentence of Rajiv made me cry .

I am truly humbled to have stumbled upon these tributes. I recall my momma telling me stories of this era. What a profound loss for the entire world! What grace, purity, dedication, calm, truth, intelligence, empathy and character of human life of balance and if there's such a thing as perfection. Perhaps it is excellence. May his legacy continue and inspire what leadership looks like. I am wowed, and oh wowed again!

Love and respect you Rajiv Gandhi. You went too soon 😢 you were brave, intelligent and kind and we miss you ❤ your vision and your sacrifice has played a big role in all our lives. Miss you 😭

Pioneer of IT revolution in India which we all are benefitting from today.

Rajiv Gandhi was a simple and innocent person. The moment he entered politics he was no longer the simple and innocent person. One cannot be like that in politics. He was a good person but not a great leader. He made it very clear in this documentary of not wanting to enter politics. But some Congress leaders and the general population pushed him into politics for their own selfish gains....ultimately leading him to his horrific assassination. Looking at his innocent face and smile and then remembering those horrific pictures of Sriperumbudur .....it is extremely difficult to even think that those pictures are of the same innocent and beautiful person who truly wanted to lead a simple life away from the corridors of power. All those people, leaders and the general public who chanted 'Rajiv Gandhi Zindabad' used him for their own selfish needs and ultimately pushed him to his death. Had he been alive today as a commoner....he would be working in a good position in any company with a happy family, his children would have been doing something of their own and most probably Rajiv Gandhi would have been spending quality time with his grandchildren. Most importantly he would have been alive and would be smiling.

Wow...He was very intelligent and visionary person. I respect him a lot. ❤

Our Lt Sir, a 'Nobel Dynamic man as a Leader as well as A Fatherly figure to his family. He's a Truely Leader in my heart. I salute every of his work.

If he was alive we would be 20 yrs ahead now . O god give him back india need leaders like him ...

those words " i have a vision for india and m going to fulfill those dreams" goosebumps...unfortunately he couldn't survive....india 's lost a great leader

Watching this series brings back that unbearable lump in my throat that i had when I watched it with tears streaming down my face when it was first released😢. Today we are suffering under the rule of a hypocrite who is a complete contrast to the suave, intelligent, honest, warm, kindhearted & loyal person that Ra ji

Big salute to Rajiv Gandhi.. God doesn’t make such men anymore !🙏🏻🌹

Rahul has the same vision as his father. truly the people of India

He really looks like a head of country by his talk and walk I feel he is very productive and decent . But shamefully I am going to say that our todays pm modi don't have these quality he looks a broker by his talks and gorila by his walk . he is very much like raja sahab of koyla movie. Arrogance is in his blood. He lies like a comedian.

Ohh wow the president of America with an umbrella over Rajiv ji....what respect...wow....

Watching this with ful of tears in my eyes. Such a great man comparing with other prime ministers.

This should be shown to prime minister Modi...How hardly our former PM Rajiv Gandhi workest for nations prosperity.. We miss Rajiv and leaderships like his

Royal in true sense!! He was a very dignified man with ethical values

He was such a dynamic personality. He would have built a greater India 😔. Its sad India lost him too early. If we had a Prime minister like him now, I wonder what solutions he would have given for the corona pandemic, instead of the lame solutions our dear Modiji gives us.

A role model for all the men, how they should be.. Oh great soul! Rajiv ji

Rajivji is a high class leader & great human

His voice show how good n innocent smart intelligent really he was very good p.m gems

Dear Simmiji , Can’t thank you enough for sharing this - Rajiv has been and still is my role model since I was a teenager. Never got a chance to meet him, have few hand written notes from him and miss him very much. These videos are the only reminders and links to the legacy he left. After all these years , these recordings bring lot of joy and tears. When you can, please do share the music (just the audio files)by Louis Banks- absolutely fantastic composition. You have created something priceless , hope you can do more like these in coming years. Best wishes

What a piece of work is this man. I can only quote the great Justice Krishna Iyer' take on him "I found shades of his grandfather in him". So profound was his concern for the country. On his death we have lost nobility in public life.

Honest rply from heart Respected Rajiv gandhi- Simplicity Respect Narendra Modi- Complicated Rajiv a man of transform to technology I just wanted to say our respected PM narendra modiji that please implement rather than firing in air ... Start with ground level from the problem of health food n livings....start from village make it prosperous All tym ideal of mine Mr Rajiv Gandhi

Only admiration for you Rajivji. You were a man of your ethics, the one who believed in humanity and unity. They oppose and called it appease but its was and is ''peace''.

Now the leader only talks about Religion and Caste. No leader will each the standart of Rajiv...what an highly educated and soft spoken leader he is. My dad is a biggest fan of Indra and Rajiv.

MODIJI CAN LEARN A LOT FROM RAJIV'S LIFE ABOUT STAYING HUMBLE AND NOT SHOW ARROGANCE. MODIJI SHOULD MORE OFTEN TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE BASIC PROBLEMS OF LOWER MIDDLE CLASS AND POOR PEOPLE

Rajiv ji was born the same year as my father. They both were true to themselves, and both died while performing their duty towards their family. Ofcourse, Rajiv ji had an enormous family - all the Indians. RIP Rajiv ji. Coincidentally, it's his birthday today. Motherland India must be proud of this son.

Being a prime minister he never his attitude towards anybody. I didn't have much knowledge about Rajeev Gandhi. Simi mam through your documentary I realize many policians like jayalalitha, Benazir bhutto. Your interview was very good. Your a role model for me. I have seen many rendezvous with actors and actress through your KZfaq channel. Thanks a lot Simi mam.

Look at Aroon Purie back then talking of secularism and a progressive nation and look at his daughter's level of journalism now.

An idealist...a dreamer...an honest politician...never thought about himself but kept the interest of the nation first...

This documentary should watch by every one every man of india so they can what his contribution for our great nation...
