Journalist Sagarika Ghose on her hardhitting analysis of a muscular leader
We’d like to think we know all we need to about Indira Gandhi. Yet, for a life lived almost entirely in the public eye, she was also uniquely opaque. In the year of Indira’s centenary, celebrated journalist and author Sagarika Ghose took on Indira’s missteps in a brutally frank examination, including the disappointment her father Jawaharlal felt in many of his daughter’s beliefs.
Sagarika, who has also authored a new book on Indira pithily describes her as India’s original sari-clad Baahubali.
There’s interesting insights and revelatory details in both the conversation as well as the book; if you want to understand more about the muscular times we live in, Indira is a good place to start.
