Remembering Indira Gandhi, the iron Lady of India

November 19 is the 95th birth anniversary of one the most charismatic leaders of modern India, our first and only woman prime minister, cherished by millions - the Iron Lady of India, Indira Gandhi. She is regarded by many as the country's best prime minister and her extensive agricultural and financial reforms are still relevant. Even after twenty eight years of her assassination, that has shocked the entire world, India's only woman Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi, has an enduring presence in the minds of most Indians. For many she remains a messiah who connected directly to the poor and underprivileged with her social welfare programmes and catchy populist slogans like garibi hatao (oust poverty). She had contributed a lot for the upliftment of the downtrodden in the country.
