Today India is celebrating the centenary of Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi,aruguably the greatest woman leader the nations around the world have seen.
Her fierce pride,conpassion and secular outlook have strengthened post-independence India and positioned NAM as a viable force in the Cold war era.
India's position is severely compromised in the diplomatic circles ,given how the new regimes in India have chosen to kiss US butt for narrow and short term interests.
With rising influence of women in politics and leadership roles,Mrs.Gandhi stands as a shining example for future generations..

Indira Gandhi’s main legacy was to stand firm facing the pressure of the US during the ’71 war.
Nationalization of 14 major private sector Banks
War with Pakistan and successful Liberation of Bangladesh
