Discover the remarkable life of Indira Gandhi…
Indira Gandhi has long been celebrated in India. She was the daughter of independent India’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, and went on to become prime minister in her own right. As such, she is often described simultaneously as either the daughter or the mother of India.
To many, Indira Gandhi was a fierce and capable stateswoman who steered her country through war, famine, and internal crisis, and who never once flinched from a fight she believed was worth having. However, to others, she was something closer to an autocrat, who suspended the very democracy her father had helped build. Both of these Indira Gandhis are real, and this book does not shy away from either one. Adding to the fluidity of that description is perhaps the fact that she was cut down in the midst of her own life, by an assassin’s bullet. Her death turned her into a national martyr for Indian unity, and she is still revered by millions in India to this day. This is her life; this is her story, in full.
