Epitome of corruption, negator of very concept of independence. Indira's traumatic legacy not only finished Congress but built unbreachable wall between illgotten wealth of neo rich, middle class, and poor. BJP's raise can be traced to last years of Indira's premiership.

I can understand your attachment to Indira Gandhi, But you have many a cut the clutter explaining how she ruined the Indian economy with her actions like nationalization of the banks, Handling Air India etc., Modi has taken the country so much forward that if you try to find a lead from the old developments you may contribute the roots to actions from the past like saying the Opening of the Ram Mandir by Rajiv Gandhi paved the way for construction of the new Ram mandir or the corrections to the bank Nationalisation privatisation of the Air India using the article 355 against a state ruled by the same party(Manipur) etc., as if the present government is defunct of brains of their own. Actually in this we have forgotten the actual reversal of policies that took place during P V Narashima Rao who even in his last days as the PM took the support of placing orders for the Su30 which was the last time we had equipped the air force before the purchase of Raffles.

I guess, an objective assessment of all that she has done during her tenure would have been a more appropriate tribute... Just on a side note between Sardar Patel and Indira Gandhi - My vote would be for Sardar saheb anyday because I dont like Emergency, fiddling the Preamble of the Constitution, appeasement politics and her going to Babur's burial place in Afghanistan and many more such acts, period...

[@TheGrimStoic]

I think its fair to say that without Sardar Patel's vision, India had a real chance of crumbling away later. But it is also fair to say that Nehru's at times naïve idealism and Indira's extreme personification of a queen saved India a lot of damage people like Majumdar, JP and Morarji Desai could've inflicted.

She was over-rated bad leader - both domestically and internationally- esp. vis-a-vis Pakistan

IG's gift to INDIA was Emergency, that lead to emergence of so many young politicians (young then) Arun Jaitley,Sushma Swaraj, Nitish, Lalu etc. In any case her grand son & grand daughter will sooner or later realize that taking a nasty left turn on economics has it's costs. One of the reasons UPA lost so badly is because they messed up with economics. Do whatever but messing up on economy is strict no no. People will be really tough on them. Check out states after states wherever people see a mess in economics they throw out the regime. WB & BIHAR is an exception (even that will change). The ill effects of her economic decisions are being paid for even now.

[@GautamThakar-p2h]

Indicate Gandhi was one of the worst Prime Minister. She doubled down on Nehru’s socialism. It was Indira who incorporated socialism into the the Indian constitution. She nationalized bank. It has taken the Modi govt. to finally set the banking on a sound system. During her time the congress party and Indira illegally transferred large sum of money from the banks. There was a famous incident when this person called a bank and imitating in Indira Gandhi voice ask for a transfer of large sum of money, which the bank promptly delivered. A culture of corruption and nepotism created by Gandhi is still a burden in India. Not to mention so many state govt. elected govt. were overthrown and president rule imposed on her whims. We are still recovering from her bad economic policies. If at all she realized that she had make a change and mice away from socialism late in her reign, it was too little and too late for millions of Indians. The years between Nehru through Indira will go down as the wasted years, and the lost of two generations for Indians. The only positive thing that happened during her rule was the liberation of Bangladeshi Desh.

[@surendrabarsode8959]

Shekhar is trying to justify Indira's socialism by saying that 1974, she started changing. The issue is this- Bank nationalization was aright decision in 1969 but what was wrong was it continued too far and now new private banks were allowed to come up. Same thing happened with other PSEs and we now have huge investments in PSEs earning hardly any return, if not huge losses. Thankfully, Air India is now out of the Govt ownership but we have so many cobwebs to clear. If it takes 40 years to clear your cobwebs of socialism and continuing, then one must note the strong grip of the socialism on our economic policies. Bottom line is - we can have any economic policy for a while but we must be able to tune it to the emerging scenarios and in the interest of the nation.
