Education is a liberating force, and in our age it is also a democratizing force, cutting across the barriers of caste and class, smoothing out inequalities imposed by birth and other circumstances.

More quotes by Indira Gandhi
I began to travel by myself, in Europe, when I was eight years old. At that age I was already on the move between India and Swizerland, Switzerland and France, France and England. Administering my own finances like an adult.
Indira Gandhi
When you look at the beginning of the actual war, it's not hard to recognize that the Pakistanis were the ones to attack.
Indira Gandhi
No one wanted that marriage, no one. Even Mahatma Gandhi wasn't happy about it. As for my father...it's not true that he opposed it, as people say, but he wasn't eager for it. I suppose because the fathers of only daughters would prefer to see them get married as late as possible.
Indira Gandhi
I began to associate with Mahatma Gandhi when he came and went in our house - together with my father and mother he was on the executive committee. After independence I worked with him a lot - in the period when there were the troubles between Hindus and Muslims, he assigned me to take care of the Muslims. To protect them.

The life I've had, the difficulties, the hardships, the pain I've suffered since I was a child. It's a great privilege to have led a difficult life, and many people in my generation have had this privilege - I sometimes wonder if young people today aren't deprived of the dramas that shaped us.
Indira Gandhi
In any case, I married Feroze Gandhi. Once I get an idea in my head, no one in the world can make me change my mind.
Indira Gandhi
Unfortunately even in India there are people who talk like that. And they're the same ones who say, 'We should never have accepted the existence of Pakistan. Now that it exists, it ought to be destroyed.' But these are only a few madmen who have no following among the masses.
Indira Gandhi
By now even the word socialism has so many meanings and interpretations. The Russians call themselves socialists, the Swedes call themselves. And let's not forget that in Germany there was also a national socialism.
Indira Gandhi
My father was a saint. I'm not.
Indira Gandhi
You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.
Indira Gandhi
[ Zulfikar Ali] Bhutto is not a very balanced man. When he talks, you never understand what he means. What does he mean this time? That he wants to be friends with us? We've wanted to be friends with him for some time I've always wanted to.
Indira Gandhi
We couldn't be everywhere, we couldn't see everything, and it was inevitable that some things would escape us.
Indira Gandhi
The civil servant is primarily the master of the short-term solution.
Indira Gandhi
I had many dolls. And you know how I played with them? By performing insurrections, assemblies, scenes of arrest. My dolls were almost never babies to be nursed but men and women who attacked barracks and ended up in prison.
Indira Gandhi
Whenever you take a step forward, you are bound to disturb something.
