Indira Gandhi wanted to see India in its might in political, economic and deplomatic levels of the World. She has been the architect of the Green Revolution in India and led the nation to dismember Pakistan out of which Bangladesh was truncated as a free and independent state. Her motto was too patriotic and nationalistic. Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad was an opportunist who was given more importance than he deserved by Gandhiji only to counter Jinnah. The Muslims of undevided India never accepted Maulana Azad as their leader.

maulana abul kalam azad
"It is due to the indolence of individuals that the souls of nations sleep".
"...Full eleven centuries have passed by since then. Islam has now as great a claim on the soil of India as Hinduism. If Hinduism has been the religion of the people here for several thousands of years Islam also has been their religion for a thousand years. Just as a Hindu can say with pride that he is an Indian and follows Hinduism, so also we can say with equal pride that we are Indians and follow Islam. I shall enlarge this orbit still further. The Indian Christian is equally entitled to say with pride that he is an Indian and is following a religion of India, namely Christianity."

Did you know?...When Gandhi's wife got pneumonia Gandhi refused to let her take antibiotics and she died. When Gandhi got pneumonia he took antibiotics and lived.
Gandhi's motto was not " whats good for the goose is good for the gander".
