Indira Gandhi: The Only Man or Goddess Durga of Post- Shastri Political Leadership?
I often get confused when the newspapers flood news such as her being the only man in her cabinet. If we believe that she was the only man in her cabinet then it can be extended till date. Secretly or openly, we all miss her because she was more masculine than many prime ministers we had since she passed away.
She was the iron lady with no melting point. Today, on the 25th anniversary of her death the wound of not having her around begins to ooze.
During the time of emergency it was believed that she would be the worst PM ever. How easily it was proved to be otherwise, I don't know if she was the only man or should we call her earthly Goddess Durga.
Woman is the symbol of Shakti. Often women are more courageous, more brave than men due to their dedication to purpose. They may be physically weak but have brave hearts.
So, would you consider India's Indira to be the only man post-shastri political leadership or her as the earthly version of Goddess Durga?
