Raj Kaul was an Indian Sanskrit and Persian scholar from Kashmir, who had been recruited in 1716 by the then Mughul Emperor, Farrukhsiyar (1683 – 1719), to move to Old Delhi, where he settled near a canal and came to be known with a hyphenated Kaul-Nehru, with Nehru evolving from the word nehar, meaning canal. He was later noted as the earliest known member of the Nehru-Gandhi family. As a result, several Nehru member biographies generally begin with Kaul's story.[1][2][3][4][5]
