While in New Delhi, I visited Indira Ghandi’s old home which has now been turned into a museum to commemorate her and her family. She was the four time Prime Minister of India during the 1970’s and 80’s. Her accomplishments were grand, due to her political astuteness and love of India. She encouraged the progress of science, space exploration, the nationalization of banks, and turned a food shortage into a surplus. Despite her motivation to improve India, she attained many enemies. After invading a Sikh temple to suppress insurgents in 1984, she was murdered on October 31, 1984 by her Sikh body guards. I found her story intriguing because of the extreme love and severe hatred she generated in people.
