Indira+Gandhi

=Indira Gandhi= Indira Gandhi was born in Allahabad, India on November 19, 1917. In 1919, her wealthy family was visited by Mohandas Gandhi, an Indian freedom activist. Mohandas converted Indira's parents into the freedom movement and drastically changed their life. Indira was spoiled by her grandfather, Motilal, yet, she still felt insecure. When she was just four years old, Indira's father and grandfather were inprisoned for partaking in India's freedon movement. Her mother also got frequently arrested. Because of Indira's childhood insecurities, she became tough so that nothing could hurt her. When she was young she played games related to a war against britain. And when she was attending school in to 1930s, she claimed that Gandhi was always with her and played a huge role in her life. India got independence from england after over a century in 1947. Even though the british built schools, roads, and hospitals, they acted as if they were a superior power. The Indians greatly disliked the rule under the British. In 1945, the British finally realized that they no longer could hold India. Indira was a true role model for women, especially Indian women because they have been under the control of men. She was a great role model for third world countries as well because she was elected into parliment as the minister of Information and Broadcasting in the government of Lal Bahadur Shastri in 1964. Indira died a widow (married to Feroze Gandhi) in 1984.
