Description

Indira Gandhi, the illustrious and tallest leader of her times, commanded the respect and admiration of the world. Unwavering in her commitment and displaying courage of conviction, she withstood pressures of powerful blocs and courageously supported causes, which she believed to be right. In her life and martyrdom, she left an endearing legacy. This publication, with a rich collection of articles, archival documents and photographs, attempts to encapsulate the inspirational journey of Indira Gandhi's multifaceted persona, her life, her struggles, abiding commitment to the people of India, her world view and her legacy. "If I die a violent death as some fear and a few are plotting, I know the violence will be in the thought and action of the assassin, not in my dying-for no hate is dark enough to overshadow the extent of my love for my people and my country, no force is strong enough to divert me from my purpose and my endeavour to take this country forward." - Indira Gandhi
