The sterilization of men is one method of birth control. The surest, most radical method. To you it seems dreadful. To me it seems that, properly applied, it's by no means dreadful.

More quotes by Indira Gandhi
There are only moments of happiness - from contentment to ecstacy.
Indira Gandhi
I began to travel by myself, in Europe, when I was eight years old. At that age I was already on the move between India and Swizerland, Switzerland and France, France and England. Administering my own finances like an adult.
Indira Gandhi
Nothing that is worthwhile is ever easy.
Indira Gandhi
The power to question is the basis of all human progress.
Indira Gandhi
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
The fact that I have an ideology, however, doesn't mean I'm indoctrinated.

The civil servant is primarily the master of the short-term solution.

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
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
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
For me the only point that has remained unchanged through the years is that in India there is still so much poverty.
Indira Gandhi
If you only knew what it did to me to have lived in that house where the police were bursting in to take everyone away! I certainly didn't have a happy and serene childhood.
Indira Gandhi

Indira Gandhi
Our pride has grown in the last twenty-five years, though others don't understand it and underestimate it.
Indira Gandhi
No one wanted that marriage, no one. Even Mahatma Gandhi wasn't happy about it. As for my father...it's not true that he opposed it, as people say, but he wasn't eager for it. I suppose because the fathers of only daughters would prefer to see them get married as late as possible.
Indira Gandhi
Whether when I was a child and fought the British in the Monkey brigade, or when I was a girl and wanted to have children, or when I was a woman and devoted myself to my father, making my husband angry. Each time I stayed involved all the way in my decision, and took the consequences. Even if I was fighting for things that didn't concern India.
Indira Gandhi
