Indira Gandhi
………………………. India’s one turbulent Prime Minster Indira Gandhi was born Indira Priyadarshini in Allahabad . Early life Jawaharlal Nehru’s only child was lonely, with her toy soldiers as her sole companions – her mother kept ill and father languished in jail. Indira Married in a hurray, repented and hostess to her Prime Minister father. She has no flair for politics.
Indira’s turn as Congress president was largely ornamental and her ministership under Lal Bahadur Shastri unspectacular.Which is perhaps why the Kamaraj-led ‘syndicate’ installed the gungi gudia as Prime Minister after Shastri. However as they were to learn soon, it was she who showed them their place. Indira split the Congress in 1969, walked away with it’s base, won a spectacular war for India in 1971 and returned to rule in 1972 in control of the party , the government and the country.
Indira Gandhi was most courageous and strong in decision-making lady at that time. She overturned the Allahabad High Court judgment against her and imposed emergency, which only consolidated the Opposition. She lost the 1977 election, then fought back to power but she had become increasingly insecure. On October 31, 1984 she was assassinated by her bodyguard.
