Indira Gandhi
Indira Gandhi was the first and, to date, the only female Prime Minister of India, serving from 1966 to 1977 and then again from 1980 until her assassination in 1984. A central figure in Indian politics, she was known for her strong leadership style and her role in shaping modern India. Gandhi was instrumental in implementing significant economic reforms and championing the Green Revolution, which transformed India's agricultural landscape. Her tenure was marked by controversial decisions, including the declaration of a national emergency from 1975 to 1977, during which civil liberties were curtailed. Despite facing numerous challenges, she remains a pivotal figure in Indian history and politics.
