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!

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.

[My mother] was the oldest of two sisters and two brothers, and she grew up with her brothers, who were about her age. She grew up, to the age of ten, like a wild colt, and then all of a sudden that was over. They had forced on her her 'woman's destiny' by saying, 'This isn't done, this isn't good, this isn't worthy of a lady.'

You said, 'How is it possible for democracy to work with an illiterate people who are dying of hunger?' But with that people we made a democracy work.

We would rather starve than sell our national honor.

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
Image
When I was young, I was very selfish, now not any more.
Indira Gandhi
Image
You don't help a country by supporting a military regime that denies any sign of democracy, and what defeated Pakistan was its military regime.
Indira Gandhi

I've never understood women who, because of their children, pose as victims and don't allow themselves any other activities.

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.

A lot of mythology arose after [Mahatma Gandhi] death. But the fact remains that he was an exceptional man, terribly intelligent, with tremendous intuition for people, and a great instinct for what was right.
Indira Gandhi

Everything I've done, I've done because I wanted to do it. In doing it, I've plunged in headlong, always believing in it.
