Dosco politics & government

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Doon School has produced a number of politicians and senior government officials, principally in India but also a few in Pakistan. All politicians attract a certain amount of controversy, and Sanjay Gandhi, for one, was widely reviled for his actions during India's Emergency in 1975. The following is a list of Doscos (alumni of the Doon School) that have been elected to Parliament or state legislatures in India and Pakistan.
