The 19th day of the first month of the year holds a big place in the political history of India. It was 19th January in 1966, when Indira Gandhi was made the Prime Minister of the country.
After the death of the then Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri, Indira Gandhi took over the chair which was held by her father Jawaharlal Nehru for the first time in the history of independent India. She held this position from 1967 to 1977 and again from 1980 until her death in 1984.
Indira Gandhi was the first and only woman Prime Minister of the country. Determined and determined, Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi is remembered for some of her tough and controversial decisions.
The declaration of Emergency in 1975 and the decisions to send the army to the Golden Temple in Amritsar in 1984 cost him his life. While he lost power after the Emergency, he also had to pay the price for his decision to send the army to the Golden Temple with the death of his Sikh bodyguards.
