| | Profile: Indira Gandhi |
| | Gandhi was elected the following year and survived a party split to bring her ruling Congress Party to a landslide victory in 1971. | | | Her political career was plunged into controversy when, in 1975 at the helm of an increasingly authoritarian administration, Gandhi declared a state of emergency in a bid to stem criticism of her government, suspending civil liberties, jailing thousands of opponents and imposing press censorship. | | | Working alongside her father as he led India, Gandhi ascended the ranks of the Congress Party and in 1966 became the first woman to lead her country when Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri died suddenly. |
