... The life of one of these revolutionists had revolved around a vision of a better India since their childhood into their death and then into her family afterward; this person, this woman is Indira Gandhi.
Born Sarojini Naidu (dubbed “Indira”) Indira grew up in a political, thus unstable, home. ... Young Indira was not ignorant of this even as a small child when her take on pretend games had her standing on table tops delivering nationalist themed speeches to the housekeepers and rarely-there parents. Indira’s mother, Kamala Kahl, was an ardent feminist, which was very uncharacteristic of the dominantly subservient females of India. Indira’s father, Jawaharlal Nehru, was the first independent Prime Minister who was not only one of Mahatma Gandhi’s close followers, but close friends. ... An only child (watched by relatives and servants) Indira was heavily influenced by the actions of her parents and Gandhi himself. ... Indira participated in dance, learned far off languages, was elected prime minister in a mock trial, helped untouchable children, and fasted as a growing woman. She met Gandhi then and he spoke highly of her for her convictions. ...
Indira, naturally rebellious, married a man who her father greatly disliked (they never agreed on any matter), who was poor, and most importantly, not a Hindu like Indira. However this man, Feroze Gandhi (no relation to Mahatma), and Indira were married under Mahatma Gandhi’s blessing and later had two sons together. Indira and Feroze were both active political activists. Indira was once jailed for a speech made and continued it to policemen in the van on the way to prison, moving them to tears and apologies.
