Indira Gandhi
Knowing Indira Gandhi is a very inspiring way of learning something especially
for girls. We can say that her spirit to dedicate for the country was handed down
by his father Jawahar Lal Nehru who was also a great freedom fighter & later
on became the first Prime Minister of the country. At her early age in her attempt
to fight the British Raj, she formed a Monkey Brigade which collected secret informations
of the British Govt. & disclosed them to the freedom fighters to their advantages.
Later on she was sent to Ingland for study. Her ability, wisdom & dedication
led her way to becoming the first woman PM of the country.
In the tragic phase of the happenings she was shot dead by her own bodyguards
in 31 Oct. 1984. Though she is out of our sight but her acts & personality
will always be encouraging stuff for anybody particularly for the girls of this
country who has got the confidence from her that a woman is no less than a man. |
