In all societies that have applied a form of socialism, a certain degree of social economic equality has been achieved.

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.

The struggle for independence here has been conducted in equal measure by men and by women. And when we got our independence, no one forgot that. In the Western world, on the other hand, nothing of the kind has ever happened - women have participated, yes, but revolutions have always been made by men alone.

Image
For me it's absolutely the same - I treat one and the other in exactly the same way. As persons, that is, not as men and women. But, even here, you have to consider the fact that I've had a very special education, that I'm the daughter of a man like my father and a woman like my mother.

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
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
Image
Until the day she died, my mother continued to fight for the rights of women. She joined all the women's movements of the time she stirred up a lot of revolts. She was a great woman, a great figure. Women today would like her immensely.

Whenever you take a step forward, you are bound to disturb something.
Indira Gandhi
Image
Do you know why I won the last elections? It was because the people liked me, yes, because I had worked, yes, but also because the opposition had behaved badly toward me. And do you know why I won this war? Because my army was able to do it, yes, but also because the Americans were on the side of Pakistan.

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
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.

I can't take it seriously when people get excited and scream that religion is in danger, and similar stupidities.
