Introduction
Indian history has witnessed only one woman Prime Minister— Indira Gandhi. She was the third Prime Minister of India and the daughter of the first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawarharlal Nehru. Her charm, intelligence and charisma made her a powerful statesperson, much loved and admired by her people.
Born on 19 th November 1917, in Allahabad, she was greatly loved by her parents Jawaharlal Nehru and Kamla Nehru and her grandfather Motilal Nehru, who was a famous lawyer, and a public figure.
Politically Charged Childhood
At the time of her birth, grandmother of the child Swaroop Rani said, “I thought for a male-child but it became female.”
Hearing it Motilal got angry and said, “There is no difference between son and daughter for me.”
Motilal called her ‘Indira’ while Jawahar and Kamla added ‘Priyadarshini’ because she looked like a beautiful doll.
Her father had joined the Freedom Struggle, so little Indira was exposed to politics from an early age. Her house was the centre of political activity, as all the important leaders stayed there on visiting Allahabad. Mahatma Gandhi was a frequent visitor to her father’s residence and she was greatly affected by his thinking.
