They're the problems of poverty, of the rights of the individual, of the changes brought about by technology. They're the ones that count, more than religion!

More quotes by Indira Gandhi
Until today the rights of people have always been put forward by a few individuals acting in the name of the masses. Today instead of people no longer want to be represented each wants to speak for himself and participate directly - it's the same for the Negroes, for the Jews, for women.
Indira Gandhi
I fall in love with anything I do and I always try to do it well.
Indira Gandhi
Nothing lasts forever, and no one can predict what will happen to me in the near or distant future.
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
I assure you we'll go on making our decisions without worrying whether it pleases or displeases the Soviet Union, China, America, France, or anyone else.
Indira Gandhi
I always defended my father, as a child, and I think I'm still defending him - his policies at least. Oh, he wasn't at all a politician, in no sense of the word. He was sustained in his work only by a blind faith in India - he was preoccupied in such an obsessive way by the future of India. We understood each other.
Indira Gandhi
Satisfied is a word I use only in reference to my country, and I'll never be satisfied for my country. For this reasons I go on taking difficult paths, and between a paved road and a footpath that goes up the mountain, I choose the footpath. To the great irritation of my bodyguards.
Indira Gandhi
The Indians and Pakistanis are literally brothers.
Indira Gandhi
I've never understood women who, because of their children, pose as victims and don't allow themselves any other activities.
Indira Gandhi
I like to think I've provided this faith. I also think that by providing faith, I've focused their pride. I say focused because pride isn't something you give. It doesn't even break out suddenly it's a feeling that grows very slowly, very confusedly.
Indira Gandhi
in today's world no country can be absolutely independent of another. It is a world of interdependence.
Indira Gandhi
Our pride has grown in the last twenty-five years, though others don't understand it and underestimate it.
Indira Gandhi
You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.
Indira Gandhi
We must protect families, we must protect children, who have inalienable rights and should be loved, should be taken care of physically and mentally, and should not be brought into the world only to suffer.
Indira Gandhi
I'm not interested in one label or the other - I'm only interested in solving certain problems, in getting where I want to go.
Indira Gandhi
Do you know why I won the last elections? It was because the people liked me, yes, because I had worked, yes, but also because the opposition had behaved badly toward me. And do you know why I won this war? Because my army was able to do it, yes, but also because the Americans were on the side of Pakistan.
Indira Gandhi
It depends on what you mean by the word religion. Certainly I don't go to temples and pray to the gods or anything like that.
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
It's the same story as when we nationalized the banks. I'm not for nationalization because of the rhetoric of nationalization, or because I see in nationalization the cure-all for every injustice. I'm for nationalization in cases where it's necessary.
Indira Gandhi
Popularity is not a gurantee of quality.
