Indira Gandhi Research Paper
Indira Gandhi, the first women prime minister of India inspires me. When I read her life story I started to venerate her. It is a truth that I adopted her single actions in my life. She was called the “child of revolution” by her grand father when she was born. She has proved it by changing the face of India. I got influenced by her actions, life styles and her way of behavior. To my surprise, I have adopted her qualities like being a voracious reader, brave and friendly. Her aspect was to do right things without fearing any body; which created a good determination in my life.

    Margaret Thatcher would prove to be the most formidable female leader of the modern age to spite her many critics and certainly since England’s beloved, great sovereign Elizabeth I. From her humble beginnings, she became the only woman in history to rise to lead Great Britain as Prime Minister. Through a steady course of personal development and leadership in which she studied and surrounded herself with great thinkers, she became a highly effective catalyst for change in England and the world. Many critics of her style overlooked or misinterpreted her motivations and decisions to their own blind ends. Margaret Thatcher achieved nearly every goal she set out to attain during her career and still serves as a lasting example of what a true leader…

    Finally, a Senior at Rock Ridge High School, Nidhi is currently facing one of the toughest challenges that a high school student could possibly face-college applications. The topic of college is a touchy subject for many seniors, so when admitting the feeling of contempt when submitting her first college application, immediate anxiety and stress washes over her face. Eyebrows furrowing down, fingers playing with her hair, unattainable eye contact, and lips pushing down on one another in a straight line. While getting an education and making her parents proud is important for Nidhi, she doesn’t let it completely take over who she is.…

    My name is Indira Nehru Gandi and I was born on November 19, 1917 in Allahabad,India. I studied in Visva-Bharati University, Somerville College,and in the University of Oxford. I had a great passion for education because Education is a liberating force, and in our age it is also a democratizing force, cutting across the barriers of caste and class, smoothing out inequalities imposed by birth and other circumstances. My father, Jawaharlal Nehru, led India's political struggle for independence from British rule, and became the first Prime Minister of the Union of India. I was very much inspired with what my father had become. And I eventually served as the third Prime Minister of India being the second female head of government in the modern world.People would say that I am like my father although I also believed that my father was a statesman, I am a political woman. My father was a saint. I am not. In 1971, I intervened in the Pakistani Civil War in support of East Pakistan. My country emerged victorious in the resulting conflict to become the regional hegemon of South Asia. During the war, the U.S. had supported Pakistan, while India received help from the Soviet Union. Relations with the U.S. grew distant as I developed close ties with the Soviet Union after the war. The latter emerged to become India's largest trading partner and its biggest arms supplier. I also gave direction to India's economy to reach the declared objectives of democratic socialism and greater social justice for weaker sections. It was also under my leadership that the signing of Shimla Pact with Pakistani Premier Bhutto and the signing of Indo-Soviet Treaty of Peace, where Friendship and Cooperation took place. I have also nationalised banks, abolished privy purses of maharajas and conducted the first nuclear tests at Pokhran. I was satisfied with these achievements of mine because I have pushed myself towards the edge exerting great effort and I believed that Satisfaction lies in the…

She also had the courage to challenge those who were in power as she did when she was a young woman working in the freedom movement. Few took on Sardar Patel as she did and survived in the political arena. She even challenged Gandhi whom she revered. Kamaladevi took Gandhiji’s teaching of pursuit of Truth to heart even if it meant challenging him. Gandhi, Nehru, Sardar Patel accepted her independence and respected her for it while some other people did not.…

    Gandhi founded the Satyagraha Ashram after returning from South Africa and successfully employed the principles of Satyagraha in uniting the peasants of Kheda and Champaran against the government. After this victory Gandhi was bestowed the title of Bapu and Mahatma and his fame spread far and wide. Jawaharlal Nehru was not only the first Prime Minister of India, but in that apacity, was also a major world figure during the mid-twentieth century. Like many national leaders who first lead, or play a major role in leading, their nation to independence, Nehru was widely loved and respected and ended up not only serving as the nation's leader for many years but also shaped much of the nation's political life. Practically every official act of such a leader is a first and often becomes a precedent that his successors follow.2…
