  The lesson I emphasize with myself is that never idolize a human. Politicians are voted to work for us and not be idolized and worshipped.

  Speaking as an American, I first saw Indira Gandhi in a TV interview in the late 1970s when I was in my early teens.     I was very impressed with her, to be the head of such a large and populous nation as India.   In those days, pretty much all the national leaders in the world who appeared on TV were white men.    So, to behold this woman left a deep impression on me.     When she was assassinated in 1984, I was in college and was shocked by her death.

  Bangaladesh creation,Banks nationalised ,green revolution (ending India's long depenendent on grain import),accelerating white revolution in milk production,India's first nuclear test,India's first missile test,India's first space program...this documentary failed to address those issues...beating around the political issues...when ever the govts after her had not taken any decessive steps people would fondly remember...if Indira Gandhi would be in that situation what she  would do?...that's what the legacy she left...still in plain words in villages they use to say "these men are worthless before Indira Gandhi she ruled like queen and a TRUE patriot"...

  Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

  The longer she ruled the more enemies she made.  Implacable opponents who wanted her removed permanently.  Here ruthlessness did not encourage moderation.

  Mrs Gandhi leaves a complex legacy. On one hand, she was a strong leader who led Bharat through 2 wars, an adverse Cold War landscape, and a poverty-stricken Post-colonial nation. <br><br>She was also irresponsible and created the mess that became the Punjab insurgency. Her treatment of Golden Temple was and remains barbaric and inexcusable.

  Economically she was one of the worst prime ministers. A major reason why the License Raj (and corruption) increased and why India still remains poor.
