Indira Gandhi was an influential political figure and the first and, to date, the only female Prime Minister of India. She held office from 1966 to 1977 and again from 1980 until her assassination in 1984. Indira Gandhi played a significant role in shaping modern India and her tenure as Prime Minister was marked by both achievements and controversies. Indira Gandhi was born on November 19, 1917, in Allahabad, British India, into the politically influential Nehru family. Her father, Jawaharlal Nehru, was the first Prime Minister of independent India, and her grandfather, Motilal Nehru, was a prominent Indian nationalist leader. Growing up in this environment, she developed a deep interest in politics and public affairs. After completing her education in India and abroad, Indira Gandhi became involved in the Indian National Congress, the country's leading political party. She served in various roles within the party and gradually rose through the ranks. In 1966, she was elected as the leader of the Congress Party and became India's Prime Minister following the sudden death of Lal Bahadur Shastri. During her tenure, Indira Gandhi implemented a range of policies aimed at promoting social justice, economic development, and national unity. She introduced initiatives to address poverty, promote agricultural self-sufficiency, and improve access to education and healthcare. She also pursued a policy of nationalization, bringing key industries and banks under state control. However, her leadership was not without controversy. Indira Gandhi's decision to declare a state of emergency in 1975, suspending civil liberties and arresting political opponents, drew criticism both domestically and internationally. The emergency period was marked by widespread human rights abuses and a curtailment of democratic freedoms. Nevertheless, she was re-elected as Prime Minister in 1980, indicating her continued popularity among certain sections of the population. Indira Gandhi also faced significant challenges on the international front. She played a crucial role in the creation of Bangladesh in 1971, following a war with Pakistan. She pursued a policy of non-alignment in the midst of the Cold War, maintaining relations with both the Soviet Union and the United States. She was known for her strong leadership and determination in advancing India's interests on the global stage. Tragically, Indira Gandhi's life was cut short when she was assassinated by her own bodyguards in 1984. Her death plunged the nation into grief and sparked violent riots. Despite the controversies surrounding her leadership, Indira Gandhi left a lasting impact on Indian politics and society. Her legacy as a strong and charismatic leader, the first female Prime Minister of India, and her contributions to the country's development continue to shape Indian politics and inspire generations of women leaders.

During her days as the Prime Minister, displaying extraordinary political skills and tenacity. Gandhi showed an ability to win elections and outmanoeuvre opponents. She introduced more left-wing economic policies and promoted agricultural productivity.

Obliterated from the pages of history, as women often are, Odisha’s first woman Chief Minister, Nandini Satpathy, known also as the Iron Lady of Orissa, was born to a family of revolutionaries and intellectuals. During her teenage years in the ‘40s, this petite girl in a starchy cotton saree was jailed for pulling down the Union Jack from atop the edifice of Ravenshaw College. Thus began the makings of a force to be reckoned with. Coming up through the ranks to ultimately reach the hallowed halls of the Rajya Sabha at the mere age of 31, this grassroots student politician went on to become the I&B minister in Indira Gandhi’s first government, where she facilitated the working of the Free Bangla Radio that played a key role in the information war that was ’71. She hobnobbed with the likes of Raj Kapoor, Nargis, and Meena Kumari as India produced films around socialist films and warmed up to Russia. And still, in Delhi circles, she is best remembered as ‘Indira Gandhi’s friend’. Nandini’s political career was as tumultuous as her friendship with Indira Gandhi. They were a close-knit duo, brought together by circumstances and kept together by a strong sense of affection and loyalty. That was until the Emergency. Where once she had enjoyed the proximity to the PMO and all the privileges that it came with, Nandini’s opposition to the Emergency led to a fall from grace. This loss was not just the loss of a friend; it also meant the loss of her political career. During her chief-ministerial tenure, she implemented radical land reforms and tore down the tobacco trade mafia. These were actions that made her a lot of enemies. Once protected by her friendship with the prime minister, she was now subjected to brutal vendetta. In the twilight years of her life, Nandini succumbed to the deep grief of losing her husband and the ignominy of political obscurity. This is the story of Nandini Satpathy.

The author is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Chandernagore Government College, West Bengal, India. She received her Ph.D. in International Relations from Jadavpur University in 2014 and is a Gold medallist in her M.A. programme from the same university. She has also served as an instructor of German language at the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture, Kolkata and translated several English and Bengali texts and songs into German language. Her areas of interest include: international politics, defence and strategic studies, comparative politics and international law. Since the Second World War, there have been very few women politicians to have come to lead their nations and dominate the world politics. Out of them, Indira Gandhi, Margaret Thatcher and Golda Meir are regarded as powerful women leaders of the world. These three Premiers were the first and only women leaders to have assumed political leadership in their respective countries till date. They were universally recognised as 'Iron Ladies' because of their command and control over their respective governments, their 'conviction' mindset and their capability to transform and implement their visions and ideas into practical policies. They were surrounded by male colleagues and there was hardly any woman in their respective Cabinets or governments; nor did they portray themselves as representatives of womenfolk. Also, their policies bore no reflection of women-friendly approaches; neither were they supporters of women's rights, nor did they encourage women's participation in politics or promote women's empowerment. They were successful in maintaining domestic peace and resisted external aggressions with strong hands, for which, they were universally recognised as tough leaders and were personified with their respective countries as well. This book intends to look at their electoral politics, modes of functioning and the power-sharing patterns, makes a comparative study of the nature of their leadership, along with the personal and institutional factors in their access to power, mitigating domestic discontents as well as their individual roles in the Indo Pak War of 1971, the Falklands Island dispute of 1982 and the Yom Kippur War of 1973.

Recent years have witnessed a concern at the marginal presence of women in Politics. The concern has been voiced through international for a on the one hand and national and local level women groups and academics on the other. The involvement of women in politics in now regarded as an important factor for a healthy democracy. No democracy can be termed as healthy, if half on the population does not participate in the political process. It is also being increasingly realized that participation as mere voters is not enough. It has to be followed by large scale participation in the policy-formulation and decision making process. This book is an attempt at analyzing the problems related to women's political participation in the Indian context. Gender and patriarchy have been used as the conceptual framework. The environmental factors-socio-economic, political and cultural-are in some way or the other, directly related to the norms of gender and patriarchy .

About Book: -The book "Indira Gandhi-Harbinger of Peace" is a result of my life's inspirational true story. It's an amazing book about World Leader, Prime Minister of India and an Iron Lady of India of that time due to her strong personality, after the Independence of India in 1947. She took historical decisions as the Prime Minister of India. Indira Gandhi was famous around the World due to her leadership quality & Politics. That's why she was famous as World Leader. I was also inspired by these qualities and decided to write a Book about her life & achievements. I was inspired by her famous slogan "Garibi Hatao" not in India but around the World. She took various political decisions in her regime as Prime Minister of India like "Emergency", "Operation Blue Star", Nationalisation of Banks, Indian States matter and many more as per the situation of Country at that time in favor and benefits of the Country. I also tried to give same points in this Book. As author of this book, I met personally with Mrs. Indira Gandhi in her regime as Prime Minister of India for the releasing of First edition of this Book at New Delhi.
