I would like to call ur attention to the condition of india even after 50 years of congress rule. sycophancy, corruption are all hallmarks of congress which was institutionalised by indira. the title of ur show itself is flawed as indira don't have any legacy. This draws me to an article appeared in the HIndu on purchase of news and news papers by powerful candidate using money. there was also a news where it was said that in MP shivraj singh Chauhan allotted plot to journalists and media housed just before assembly elections.Are u people succumb to such pressures and allurings. common man is confused.

Before we question the decision of Smt Indira Gandhi regarding imposition of Emergency @ Operation Blue Star, we must ponder at the circumstances leading to those decisions.Yes, her election had been declared null & void by the Allahabad High Court and perhaps the best course of action for her would have been to resign but the opposition instead of taking the fight to the streets should have taken up their cause through institutional means ie fighting out the matter in highest court of the land , rather giving a call to the police and the Army not to obey the Govt authority. Just imagine what would have been the state of the Nation had that call been taken by the Army and the police. Jai prakash Naraian had been a leader all through his life, diametrically opposed to his own ideas from time to time. Had he accepted Pt Nehru's offer to join his cabinet in the fiftees, he could have a Natural Successor to the India's first Prime Minister. These very people who now question her decision of operation Blue Star use to laud her for her bold decision without which, perhaps, the situation in Punjab could have been any thing, to say the least. A democratically elected Govt has a right to handle with a situation in a manner as it deems fit, of course, within the frame-work of the Constitution only and if the same is construed by a large section of the society as being not in the larger interest of the Nation, they have a golden opportunity to throw out that Govt at the hustings. Judging in its entirety, Indira Gandhi was a courageous leader though, at times, suffering from fear phycosis , very unlike her own father.

She was the lady with vision that can make INDIA superpower and free from any terrorist attacks
i born in 1983 and i curse myself that i born in the year when she was killed.

IN MY OPINION, THE BIGGEST FAILURE WAS ANNOUNCEMENT OF NATIONALIZATION POLICY DECLARED DURING INDEPENCE DAY SPEECH ON 15 AUGUST (RED FORT).
THIS POLICY HELPED CONGRESS BUT HURT THE NATION.

100% Mrs Gandhi is the best prime minister india has ever seen. today in the era of coaliation politics we miss a sole leadership on whom the mantle of magnum India could be entrusted. a leader that would neither bow to international pressure or internal hiccups. the place which belong to only Mrs Gandhi a place which can neither be matched by her predecessor nor could be reached by her successors till now
oh! mother India ! where are you? WE need you!!!!!!

Definitely she earned the name of an iron lady; yes she was charismatic and used it to her best especially with the USA and Nixon in particular. But in India her mistakes far outnumbered her achievements; with scant respect to the opposition or for that matter any one who opposed her and the Emergency that was the height when insecurity and mistrust seemed to haunt her and thereby ceated a legacy by itself; of shchophants that still plagues the congress and no one is willing to look beyond the "Gandhi" name so much so the election posters do not even mention about Shastri or for that matter Narasimha Rao, its only Nehru, Indira, Rajiv, Sonia, Rahul and now Priyanka who still prefers to retain the Gandhi name to use it at the right time. Even Sanjay's name sees no mention, parhaps to keep a check on Meneka and Varun.In this overall scenario she cannot definitely be said to the best PM India had. In fact the closest would be Atal Behari Vajpayee, his only stigma was he belonged to the BJP but he definitely kept it in check.

she was no doubt a strong lady with strong views though the debate will remain whether it was good or ugly.

She was a strong leader but not the best. Historically speaking she was a politician since at the age of 4 and generally it says that politics is a dirty game. So there is no escape route to say that she was always wise.

What ever people may say about Mrs India Gandhi, in my view there is no doubt she was a very strong leader and always wanted to make India a super power i dont think we will have a leader such her in coming future.

India needed a strong-willed, ruthless and autocratic leader, Indira Gandhi alone foots the bill. The performance of critics of Emergency and their drawing of pension speaks volumes about these politicians.
