Indira Gandhi's emergence and style
Indira Gandhi’s Emergence and Style by Nayantara Sahgal offers a psychological and political portrait of Indira Gandhi, focusing on her personality, leadership style, and how she rose to power. Sahgal dissects the interplay between Indira’s familial inheritance (as Nehru’s daughter) and her own temperament, arguing that her political behavior and decision-making were deeply shaped by her background and personal insecurities. The book examines her childhood, education, and gradual emergence into public life, then turns to her style of leadership — combining democratic rhetoric with authoritarian tendencies. Sahgal warns that her mode of governance could undermine India’s democratic institutions if left unchecked.
