After his father's assassination, Rahul shifted to Rollins College due to security reasons and completed his B.A. in 1994. What is very interesting is the fact that during this period, Rahul assumed Pseudonym ‘Raul Vinci' and his identity was known only to the university officials and security agencies. It can be said that he was raised under constant threat from various elements inimical to Gandhi family and that could have muted his evolution as a more courageous and outspoken person. Priyanka too lived under similar conditions but then there are people who have these in-born abilities to grow despite all the impediments.
