The bridge across forever Lord Reading, whose name was Rufus Isaacs, was the only non-Christian viceroy of India. "Being a Jew, my grandfather understood the Indian religion and ethos more fundamentally than anybody else," says Lord Simon Reading, who served the British army. Simon had a meeting with Mahatma Gandhi's grandson Gopal Krishna Gandhi in Delhi in 1998 and apologised to him on behalf of his grandfather who had arrested Gandhi in 1922. Simon was part of a delegation of descendents of British rulers that visited India on its 50th year of Independence. Simon's daughter Lady Natasha Rufus Isaacs is doing her bit to keep the Indian link alive.
