Indira Gandhi
We would rather starve than sell our national honor.
Indira Gandhi
I fall in love with anything I do and I always try to do it well.
Indira Gandhi
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.
Indira Gandhi
A revolution is already taking place in India. Things are changing here already - peacefully and democratically. There's no danger of communism. There would be if we had a rightist government instead of mine.
Indira Gandhi
America always thought it was helping Pakistan. But if it hadn't helped Pakistan, Pakistan would have been a stronger country.
