It was the very fact that no one ever imposed anything on me or tried to impose himself on the others.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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
Image
We always said that our struggle was not only against the British as representatives of colonialism, it was against all the evil that existed in India. The evil of the feudal system, the evil of the system based on caste, the evil of economic injustice.
Indira Gandhi
Image
When I was young, I was very selfish, now not any more.

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

It's true that I refused foreign aid. It's true. It wasn't my personal decision, however - it was the whole country that said no.

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!

A nation' s strength ultimately consists in what it can do on its own, and not in what it can borrow from others.

I had many dolls. And you know how I played with them? By performing insurrections, assemblies, scenes of arrest. My dolls were almost never babies to be nursed but men and women who attacked barracks and ended up in prison.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I don't care if I remain prime minister. I'm only interested in doing a good job as long as I'm capable and for as long as I don't get tired.
Indira Gandhi
Image
You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.
Indira Gandhi
Image
Whenever you take a step forward, you are bound to disturb something.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I can't take it seriously when people get excited and scream that religion is in danger, and similar stupidities.
Indira Gandhi
Image
If by happiness you mean instead an ordinary contentment, then yes - I'm fairly contented. Not satisfied - contented.
Indira Gandhi
Image
Even if I died in the service of the nation, I would be proud of it. Every drop of my blood... will contribute to the growth of this nation and to make it strong and dynamic.
Indira Gandhi
Image
The India I want, I'll never tire of repeating, is a more just and less poor India, one entirely free of foreign influences. If I thought the country was already marching toward these objectives, I'd give up politics immediately and retire as prime minister.
Indira Gandhi

what is popular need not necessarily be right or wise.
Indira Gandhi
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.
