On November 19th, 1917, Indira Gandhi was born. Little did she know that she would go down in history in the future.She was born in Allahabad too! When she got older she studied at Visva-Bharati University in Bengal, then when she felt like she knew enough, she enrolled in the University of Oxford in England. Later on, a very tragic accident happend.Kamala Kual Nehru, which was her mother, died. She passed away in 1936.Soon after this took place, in 1938 she graduated collage and went on with life, and decided to join the Indian National Congress for Indian Independance.Then her love life approached, and she married Parsi, Feroze Gandhi. Later she had her first child, it was a boy, then her second, which was another boy! Finally the Indians won their Independance in 1947. Then another one of those tragic moments brought another death, Indira’s husband passed away in 1960.Trying to get over her husbands loss, before she knew it she was the prime minister of India. Indira Gandhi was then assassinated in 1984.

What I learned from this paper was that she became the prime minister of India. Before I wrote this and took notes I never knew that. Another thing i learned from this paper is that she had two boys, im excited to know that now! I believe Indira Gandhi was a very brave and unique woman, she made it so far and she helped India win its independance. I think back then she was a very inspiring person to many others and even now she still is. She is a great role model.
