Indira Gandhi (1917–1984) was an Indian National Congress leader and prime minister from 1966 to 1977 and from 1980 until her assassination. India's first woman prime minister, she combined electoral appeal, state-led development, and forceful international leadership with a major centralization of power and the suspension of democratic freedoms during the Emergency.
