The middle name 'priyodarshini' means good-looking. Indira Gandhi is immortal. In fact India is synonym with Indira. What happened in her times as Prime Minister is unparalleled in the history of this country: war with Pakistan in 1971, commando operation at Golden Temple to flush out dreaded terrorists, declaration of state of emergency in the country, India winning cricket World Cup in 1983 and lastly sad assassination by her own trusted body guards.

Despite being a woman Prime Minister, the decisions she took was unbelievable. She is truly the original 'Iron Lady'. She was a brave woman. Had two sons, Rajiv and Barun.
Glamorous looks, shrewd political brain, rock like will power. She was named the greatest woman leader in the last 1000 years by a ABC poll, not without reasons.
