Indira Nehru Gandhi
Indira Gandhi was a very interesting women. She was born on November 19, 1917 but died on October 31, 1984. Also, she was an only child of Jawaharial and Kamala Nehru. Indira’s father was once the prime minister, which she was influenced by him, and eventually became prime minister. Later, she had become a leader of a children’s group called the Monkey Brigade. In that group they were mainly trying to help end the British control in India. While the other children in the group were warning people who were soon going to be arrested, Indira was delivering speeches to people. Indira would take her job very seriously, know matter what it was. But in that group, the Congress took it as a joke. Anyway, later in 1938 she joined the Indian National Congress Party (which she always wanted to do). In 1942, Indira got married to Feroze Gandhi. (Feroze was a journalist.) Much later, they both were sent to prison for charges of subversion by the British. Also, they stayed in prison from September 11, 1942 through May 13, 1943. The prison was the Naini Central Jail. Anyway, Indira later won India’s independence from the British in 1947! Finally! Also, sadly her father died in 1964 and her mother died in 1936. Later, in 1959 Indira became the fourth women elected president of the Indian National Congress, and she became the first elected women to lead a democracy in 1967! However, in 1975 Indira was found guilty of violating the election laws! But besides all of that, she later regained her position as prime minister in 1980. Last, sadly Indira got assassinated by Sikh bodyguards on October 31, 1984.I have learned many things about Indira Gandhi for this report. I want to learn more because her life is so interesting. But with what she has done, Indira should be amazing to you, with how she stands up for her beliefs. She never gave up. Anyway I have gotten my info. at this website. Also, I got my picture fom this website.
