indira gandhi

Indira Gandhi, popularly known as the Iron Lady of India, was a prominent politician and the first female Prime Minister of India. She was the daughter of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and an important member of the Indian National Congress party.

She held the office as PM from 1966 to 1977 and later again from 1980 until her assassination in 1984, making her the second-longest-serving Prime Minister of India after her father.

She was the key-force for India’s war with Pakistan in support of the independence movement in Eastern Pakistan, which resulted in India's victory and creation of Bangladesh.

She implemented the state of emergency from 1975 to 1977 during which she ruled by decree. She was assassinated by her own Sikh bodyguards in 1984 after a few months of her ordering the checking of the Golden Temple in Amritsar to counter the Punjab insurgency.
