Sharmistha Mukherjee, daughter of former President and lifelong Congressman Pranab Mukherjee, has penned a book called Pranab, My Father: A Daughter Remembers, which offers a glimpse into her father's thoughts on the Gandhi family, especially Rahul Gandhi. The book, based on the late President's diary entries and conversations with her, reveals that Mukherjee was disillusioned by the clutch the Gandhi-Nehru family had on the Congress. He called it "the worst form of hegemony."
