June, 2025 archive

As the 50th anniversary of Emergency on 27 June was covered extensively in the mainstream media, it again focused on the former prime minister Indira Gandhi, who declared Emergency.
For most young people born after 1985, Indira Gandhi is only a historical figure, yet for many older indians, she was the only female prime minister who ruled india for many years. While most indians are aware of her achievements and other decisions like emergency, when she was the prime minister, less information is available on her early life, especially before she became the prime minister.
The book on the Indira Gandhi is fairly comprehensive and covers her life from her childhood to her assassination by her bodyguards. Detailed information is provided about her family background, especially her wealthy grandfather Motilal Nehru, her father, Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of india, and her mother Kamala. The most interesting aspect of the book is the information about her education, how she studied in different schools in India, Switzerland and elsewhere.
The book also provides some information about Indira Gandhi’s husband Feroze Gandhi, who was a parsi, and member of parliament. He was appointed editor of national herald, which is in the news for multiple reasons. Feroze Gandhi died after multiple heart attacks. Comparatively less information is provided about her sons sanjay and rajiv gandhi who would also later become the prime minister of india.
After the death of her mother, Indira Gandhi was the hostess for her father, and later joined politics, standing for election. She was the information and broadcasting minister when lal bahadur shastri was the prime minister and after shastri passed away, she became the prime minister. Though Indira gandhi was voted out of power after emergency ended in 1977, she came back to power in 1980 and died in 1984 after Operation Bluestar.

The book translation could be improved.
An interesting book since history books in the 1970s and 1980s did not cover former prime minister Indira Gandhi and also the hectic life of politicians.
