COMMENT: a: I agree with FN. b: As far as I know, Vijaylakshmi was already married (early) before Menon was likely to have met (forget known ) Nehru. c: IF, the scenario is accurate, Not very sure if the "brahmin" was the impediment. Know many Kashmiris married to Malyalis? d: "we" guys do not much about this thing called North South / White Black prejudice in India, do we? ps: After all the drama, in 1967 Menon was denied a Congress ticket in Bombay. He contest as an independent and lost. So much for him jc
