The latest WikiLeaks revelations from US Embassy cables have named former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in a scandal. National daily The Hindu has published their findings of the Kissinger cables, which claim that Rajiv Gandhi may have been a middleman for a Swedish Company before he became the Prime Minister.
This, during the 1970s when Swedish company Saab-Scania was trying to sell its Viggen fighter aircraft to India. The US cables call Rajiv Gandhi 'the main Indian negotiator' for a massive aircraft deal for which his 'family connections' were seen as valuable.
