More quotes by Indira Gandhi
I know you were surprised when, after the fall of Dacca, Pakistani and Indian officers shook hands. But do you realize that, up until 1965, in our army and the Pakistani one you could come across generals who were brothers? Blood brothers, sons of the same father and the same mother.
Indira Gandhi
I always stayed married to my husband! Always, until the day he died! It's not true that we were separated!
Indira Gandhi
To be liberated, woman must feel free to be herself, not in rivalry to man but in the context of her own capacity and her personality.
Indira Gandhi
It's true that I refused foreign aid. It's true. It wasn't my personal decision, however - it was the whole country that said no.
Indira Gandhi
The struggle for independence here has been conducted in equal measure by men and by women. And when we got our independence, no one forgot that. In the Western world, on the other hand, nothing of the kind has ever happened - women have participated, yes, but revolutions have always been made by men alone.

Indira Gandhi
Nothing lasts forever, and no one can predict what will happen to me in the near or distant future.
Indira Gandhi
My father cared very much about courage, physical courage as well. He despised those who didn't have it. But he never said to me, 'I want you to be courageous.' He just smiled with pride every time I did something difficult or won a race with the boys.
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
The India I want, I'll never tire of repeating, is a more just and less poor India, one entirely free of foreign influences. If I thought the country was already marching toward these objectives, I'd give up politics immediately and retire as prime minister.
Indira Gandhi
My father was prime minister, and to take care of his home, to be his hostess, automatically meant to have my hands in politics - to meet people, to know their games, their secrets.
Indira Gandhi
The doctors shrugged their shoulders and grumbled that perhaps if I were to put on weight that would protect me a little - being so thin, I would never succeed in remaining pregnant.
Indira Gandhi
I'm told [ Zulfikar Ali] Bhutto is ambitious. I hope he's very ambitious ambition may help him see reality.
Indira Gandhi
