The first female prime minister of India. She was the daughter of the affaimed Jawaharl Nehru, also an important political figure. Indira had a long career, and though she was a genius of a politician with shrewd insight, Indira was also power hungry and very good at snatching power. She was assasinated on October 31, 1984.
Several years before she was assasinated, Indira Ghandi was charged with electoral fraud. She called in a state of emergency to the country and threw all of her opponents in jail. Events like these showcase her brilliance and her hunger for pwoer, with whatever means she can get it with.
