Indira Gandhi’s quote of forgiveness

Indira Gandhi was born in the wealthy Nehru family in November 19, 1917 in Allahbad. She was fondly called Indu by her family members. Indu means the one who rules the cool brightness of the Moon. Within two years, the family gave away all its wealth for the freedom fight. As a child she saw her parents frequently going to jail. Her childhood was deprived of love and affection of parents.

Indira Gandhi on being responsive

Indira Gandhi was considered to be a private person who seemed aloof, chilly, complex, giving no clue in her withdrawn, quiet personality as to why her public figure should appeal as it did to many millions of Indians.

Indira Gandhi on being loyal to work

Her political leadership divides the opinion of commentators as much as her personality. While some saw Gandhi as aloof and insular, others admired her strength of character and iron will to put India on the map.

Indira Gandhi’s selfless love for the nation

She brought in public life the idea of little voice of conscience. She declared emergency when she found bureaucracy crumbling, sought people’s verdict instead of turning a dictator. When lost, she accepted people’s verdict and remained among people and in a couple of months won back both people’s heart and political power.

Indira Gandhi’s quote on education

She moved ahead with Blue star operation in the national interest. After the operation, intelligence agencies recommended that Sikh personnel should be removed from her security job. When this file was brought before her she did not think about risk to her life and noted “I am secular and I cannot remove someone just because someone belongs to a particular religion”

Indira Gandhi on performing duties

As a leader, she was immeasurably strong-willed, and used questionable means to consolidate her power by implementing state of emergency, imprisoning opponents, and violently cracking down on adversaries, to name just a few of the ways in which she ruthlessly fought her corner.

Indira Gadhi on self sufficiency

On her ability to cope with the demands of leading one of the world’s largest nations, she offered a characteristically rational analysis, ‘’I think the only reason I’m able to survive this with equanimity is that I’m just myself, regardless of the situation in the country. I know the condition of the people. There’s nothing I can see that I don’t know about already. It’s not that you don’t feel it, but it’s like a nurse and illness: you see it in perspective.’’
