Indira Gandhi: Her road to power
Indira Gandhi: Her Road to Power by Nayantara Sahgal is an analytical biography that explores Indira Gandhi's transformation from an ordinary political figure to a dominant leader in India. Sahgal, also Indira's cousin, combines personal insight and historical analysis to explain how Indira consolidated power, manipulated the Congress party structure, and made decisions that strengthened her position in Indian politics.
The book highlights Indira's psychological and strategic dimensions: her ambition, sense of isolation, and the influence of her family on her thinking. Sahgal highlights key moments such as the introduction of "President's Rule," changes in Indian democracy, and the dynamics of succession within her family, such as the political careers of her sons Sanjay and later Rajiv. Documented by family letters, photographs, and in-depth analysis, the work paints a picture of Indira's rise to power as a product of a blend of personal character and sharp realpolitik.
