"According to the rules, IFS officers are not permitted to marry foreigners. Our batchmate, M.K Khisha, who came from the Northeast was posted in Spain on the completion of his training. There he fell in love with charming young beauty, Gloria.They decided to get married but IFS rules came in the way and permission was denied. Khisha was heartbroken but Gloria did not lose hope. She wrote a letter in her own handwriting to Nehru, beseeching him to grant their request. As luck would have it, her letter was picked from the heap of incoming letters and placed before Nehru who maganimously agree to their request and thus Khisha and Gloria were united for life".__ From Preface of The God who Failed, An Assessment of #Jawaharlal_Nehru
