Indira Gandhi had been this very powerful, dominating, ambiguous mother figure. Ambiguous because she was tyrannical, she had imposed...she had suspended Indian democracy for a few years but she also was the woman who had defeated Pakistan in war at a time when most male politicians in India had secretly feared fighting that war, so that here in India even today Indira Gandhi is called by Indian nationalists the only man ever to have governed India.

Aravind Adiga

Sometimes I ask myself whether [Indira Gandhi] had, even then, a certain contempt for the system she represented and, years later, would overthrow.

Oriana Fallaci

I had no time for Indira Gandhi. She was too much in the Russian camp for my liking.

Bob Hawke

The importance of the leader has always mattered, whether it was Indira Gandhi, V. P. Singh, or Narendra Modi.

Amit Shah

Did Indira Gandhi ask for somebody's permission to carry out the test in 1974?

Atal Bihari Vajpayee

I could have joined politics during Nehru's or Indira Gandhi's time. I don't want to. I stay away from these things.

Milkha Singh

Since when has the Congress become protector of judiciary? Do I have to remind how Indira Gandhi treat the judiciary when one verdict went against them? Rajeev Gandhi in 1988 almost brought the bill, and during that phase, how many cases were filed against the media? And their son and grandson is talking about press freedom.

Nirmala Sitharaman

The common denominator of the great women leaders in the world - Indira Gandhi, Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meir - is that they're dramatically nonsexual.

Rod Lurie

I went to London in the '70s and also visited Madame Tussauds there. At that time, the only Indian figure that was exhibited there was of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's.

Asha Bhosle

There was that argument that if we had more women in positions of authority, the world would be a nicer place. And then we got Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher, Sirimavo Bandaranaike, Indira Gandhi. When women become acclimatised to war, they can become every bit as ruthless as men.

Margaret MacMillan

[Indira Gandhi] answered cautiously at first. Then she opened up like a flower and the conversation flowed along without obstacles, in mutual sympathy.

Oriana Fallaci

We know who left the country. And many were Bengalis from West Bengal, sent from Calcutta. It was she who sent them - Mrs.[Indira] Gandhi.

Zulfikar Ali Bhutto

Prime ministers with full majority have behaved differently from each other. Jawaharlal Nehru was a leader who ruled by consensus while Indira Gandhi was considered more unilateral in her approach.

Sanjaya Baru

Mrs. [Indira] Gandhi can rightly boast of having won a war, but if she won it, she should first of all thank Yahya Khan and his gang of illiterate psychopaths.

Zulfikar Ali Bhutto

In 1947, who was the PM? In 1962, who was the PM? Similarly, in 1965 and 1971, who was the PM? We divided Pakistan. Indira Gandhi did it but she never said 'I got it done.'

Amarinder Singh

'A Death in the Gunj' is set in 1979 and we had to mute a joke that referred to Indira Gandhi. The censors also wouldn't allow the tortoise that some of the characters talk about to be called Kalidas because it's the name of a respected poet.
