Image
I cannot understand how anyone can be an Indian and not be proud.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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
Image
For me the only point that has remained unchanged through the years is that in India there is still so much poverty.
Indira Gandhi
Image
If we offer something to Bangladesh, it's obvious that Bangladesh is offering something to us. And why shouldn't Bangladesh be able to keep its promises? Economically it's full of resources and can stand on its feet. Politically it seems to me led by trained people. The refugees who took shelter here are going home.

The future doesn't frighten me, even if it threatens to be full of other difficulties.
Indira Gandhi

Politics...You see, it depends on what kind of politics. What we did during my father's generation was a duty. And it was beautiful because its goal was the conquest of freedom.
Indira Gandhi

We know very well that India's destiny is linked to world peace.
Indira Gandhi
Image
Unfortunately even in India there are people who talk like that. And they're the same ones who say, 'We should never have accepted the existence of Pakistan. Now that it exists, it ought to be destroyed.' But these are only a few madmen who have no following among the masses.
Indira Gandhi
Image
Whenever you take a step forward, you are bound to disturb something.
Indira Gandhi
Image
Popularity is not a gurantee of quality.
Indira Gandhi
Image
America always thought it was helping Pakistan. But if it hadn't helped Pakistan, Pakistan would have been a stronger country.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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.

No one ever indoctrinated me.
Indira Gandhi

what is popular need not necessarily be right or wise.
Indira Gandhi
Image
People who say it was her father who prepared her for the post of prime minister, it was her father who launched her, are wrong.
Indira Gandhi
Image
My father was a statesman, I'm a political woman. My father was a saint. I'm not.

There are moments in history when brooding tragedy and its dark shadows can be lightened by recalling great moments of the past.
