Indira Gandhi The untold stories
Read an article on the basis of facts from history. This page will be uploaded with dozens of rarest videos of Indira Gandhi which may prove this article right.
Indira Gandhi was an undisputed all-time strongest lady among Indian politicians to date from India's point of view. Without a doubt, her name would be definitely reckoned when the all-time worldwide strongest lady politician is considered. Having said that it has to be noted whether she had employed her guts and dynamism for the betterment of society or for her own wellbeing...?, or is there any other version, let us find out.
We always pat Indira Gandhi on the back whenever the memory of the 1971 war surfaces, but when we realize the statement of Benazir Bhutto's husband Asif Ali Zardari in the Parliament of Pakistan summary of which goes as below, our conclusion may differ.
The scenario then was, more than 90000 soldiers of Pakistan were in the captivity of India, more than three thousand of their military officers were in our custody. Pakistan army had surrendered. The Indian Army had annexed the Tharparkar district of Sindh in India but where is Tharparkar today... it was handed over to Pakistan even though we won the war. The Tharparkar was annexed and it was declared a new district of Gujarat and the tricolor flag was hoisted over the Muzaffarabad Parliament.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto had also brought his daughter Benazir Bhutto along with Indira Gandhi when she came to the Shimla Agreement. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was probably teaching politics to his daughter by exposing her to the negotiation the Pakistan and India were undergoing post Pakistan's losing the war.
The above image is of Edwin Mountbatten of British along with Indian then PM Jawaharlal Nehru, Nehru's secretary M O Mathai, and next to Mathai is Indira Gandhi daughter of Nehru. The story of an illegal affair between Nehru's secretary MO Mathai and Indira Gandhi is not a secret anymore.
Indira Gandhi put a condition in front of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, if you want your 93000 soldiers back then you give Kashmir to us, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto told Indira Gandhi that we will not give you Kashmir, "I will not sign anything", "you will give it to 93000 soldiers Keep it to yourself".
Indira Gandhi did not even dream that Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was a bigger player than her. He knows how to win a lost battle at the borders at the table. Indira Gandhi's condition had become such as if someone caught between devil and sea. Both Pupul Jayakar and Kuldip Nayar wrote in their book, Indira Gandhi missed that opportunity, she and her advisors had no diplomatic knowledge of how to handle such a situation.
Under the Geneva Convention, if a country captures a prisoner of war, then it has to take full care of the dignity of the prisoner of war.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto told his daughter Benazir Bhutto at the hotel in the evening that India's back has been broken in this war, we fought the war with full valor, we have given a lot of hurt to India's economy. India has already suffered the burden of Bangladeshi refugees, now how will India take care of 93000 Pakistani soldiers, and if India wants to settle 93000 Pakistani soldiers with them, then settle them and what will we do even after taking back those cowardly soldiers? I have made Indira Gandhi like a mole in the neck of a snake.
The above image is reflecting a sad image of Indian PM Indira Gandhi. While shaking hands with Gen Manekshaw under the capacity of PM of the country, She is seen keeping her eyes down with a shy
And in the end, Indira Gandhi's condition became such as if someone ate a hundred shoes and also ate a hundred onions. Due to the above reason Indira Gandhi also gave Kashmir to Pakistan, also returned 93000 soldiers, and left 56 of her soldiers to die in Pakistan's jail, and after 8 months in the desire of Nobel Prize in India's Gujarat state included district Tharparkar also to Pakistan While 98% of Tharparkar's population was Hindu at that time.
It is a matter of mystery why Indira Gandhi succumbed to the dirty tactics of Pakistan. India could have used several other options and the best among them handing over the captured soldiers at the mercy of the new nation Bangladesh to deal with them after taking away to India every weapons and other military assets.
After the Simla Agreement, the then army chief wrote a book after his retirement, saying that we won this war on the battlefield, but the politicians defeated India at the table and that politician was Indira Gandhi.
If this part of the history is true then there must be no hesitation to conclude that Congress mismanagement had ruined India not only due to the folly of forceful thrust upon 1st PM of India Shri Jawaharlal Nehru which lost India its territories to the dragon (China) at North, Indira Gandhi too had committed the biggest blunder by not winning the war politically though our brave soldiers did their part perfectly and the won the war for India.
After realizing the above truth from history, I started watching a few videos of Indian ex-PM Indira Gandhi and realized that not only does the nose has similarity between Indira Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, but Indira Gandhi was almost the same as her grand Daughter Priyanka Gandhi in almost everything. Indira Gandhi was a totally shy lady, Indira Gandhi never could deliver a speech without notes, But again Congress which is good at giving birth to "narratives" had successfully impregnated Indian minds that "she is an Iron lady".
Keeping apart Indo Pakistan war which resulted in the creation of Bangladesh with toothless negotiations failing to solve any of the issues between our nation, there are lot many other incidents which are provided here.
Above is one of the rare videos of Indian PM Smt Indira Gandhi communicating to Squadron leader Rakesh Sharma at space...(Kindly note the simple matter which anyone could have spoken from the heart, she had written it in advance and reading it out)
Among the presidents of the USA Nixon wasn’t the only American who was nasty about Indira (he called her a bitch). Jacqueline Kennedy described her as a ‘real prune – bitter, kind of pushy horrible woman . . . it always looks like she’s been sucking a lemon.
Indira allegedly had an affair with Nehru’s secretary, M.O. Mathai. He apparently wrote a chapter on her that was never published for his autobiography. though even today the story of the illegal relationship was known to all. According to an unverifiable version of the chapter, Mathai wrote: ‘in the sex act....... (I am not comfortable to expresses those lines of MO Mathai)’.
After Sanjay died, relations between Maneka and Indira Gandhi got fissures and Maneka Gandhi wrote an open letter to Indira published in the Indian Express, saying ‘as soon as Sanjay died you started literally torturing me in every conceivable way . . . I fought so bitterly for you . . . when the rest of your family was packed and ready to go abroad.’.??? (... What does it mean... "Rest of the family were packing to leave the country"... I leave it to readers to analyze and conclude).
The most amazing and unbelievable information is that Before the Shimla peace talks with Pakistan, Indira personally re-decorated the room where Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was to stay. If the information available on the internet is to be believed, India's social secretary Usha Bhagat said ‘We went to the chief minister’s house and got a few things from there including his bed. We went to Raj Bhavan and picked up a deep-red raw silk bedspread, we wrote to Rashtrapati Bhavan asking them to send silver writing sets and stationery . . .
Indira planned official menus with great care, naming dishes according to the guest. When the Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin came for tea, she produced a menu comprising Flying Saucer Samosas, Meteorite Sweets, and Laddoo Luna.
In March 1982 at the Festival of India in London, the London Philharmonic Orchestra struck up India’s national anthem. As the orchestra played ‘Jana Gana Mana’ while the Prince of Wales stood to attention, Pupul Jayakar glanced at Indira Gandhi to find her eyes shining with tears. (A great relief for us to realize there is some emotion in her for the nation, unlike contemporary siblings of her dynasty).
Doctor Zhivago and Black Beauty were Indira’s favorite films. Once when President Zia of Pakistan complained to her about getting bad press, she advised, “Don’t worry about these pressmen, they know nothing; look, they call you a democrat and me a dictator!” Though The President was not amused.’ but this Sarcastic comment has lot to disclose about her real ridiculous attitude towards Indian citizens who always gives a long rope to the culprits due to short memory,, magnanimity or due to their foolishness.
