Image
My father was prime minister, and to take care of his home, to be his hostess, automatically meant to have my hands in politics - to meet people, to know their games, their secrets.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I would like to ask a question. Would this sort of war or savage bombing which has taken place in Vietnam have been tolerated for so long, had the people been European?
Indira Gandhi

Nothing that is worthwhile is ever easy.

We were to equally strong types [with my husband], equally pigheaded - neither of us wanted to give in. And...I like to think those quarrels made us better, that they enlivened our life, because without them we would have had a normal life, yes, but banal and boring.

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
I have certain objectives. They're the same objectives my father had to give people a higher standard of living, to do away with the cancer of poverty, to eliminate the consequences of economic backwardness.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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
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
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.

Forgiveness is the virtue of Brave.
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.
