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.

The fact that I have an ideology, however, doesn't mean I'm indoctrinated.
Indira Gandhi

Muslim women had to go out in purdah, that heavy sheet that covers even the eyes. Hindu women had to go out in the doli, a kind of closed sedan chair like a catafalque. My mother always told me about these things with bitterness and rage.

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

I always stayed married to my husband! Always, until the day he died! It's not true that we were separated!
Indira Gandhi
Image
The question before the advanced nations is not whether they can afford to help the developing nations, but whether they can afford not to do so.
Indira Gandhi
Image
The future doesn't frighten me, even if it threatens to be full of other difficulties.
Indira Gandhi

You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I've never understood women who, because of their children, pose as victims and don't allow themselves any other activities.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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!
Indira Gandhi
Image
Peace we want because there is another war to fight against poverty, disease and ignorance.
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.

Image
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.

I refuse to indulge in small talk. And compliments, if at all, I save for after the job is done.
