Indira Gandhi (1917-1984) - India's first female prime minister


Indira Gandhi (1917-1984) was a prominent political figure in 20th-century India. She served as the country's first female Prime Minister, holding the position twice between 1966 and 1980. 

In 1975, she faced criticism for continuing proportional representation unofficially and declaring a state of emergency, leading to allegations of suppressing freedoms. Despite her significant impact on Indian politics, Gandhi passed away in 1984 after battling cancer.

With strong leadership and political acumen, Gandhi gained popularity among Indian citizens and contributed to India's development and stability post-independence. However, her rule was marred by controversy.
