History Today: How Indira Gandhi became the first woman PM of India
January 19 has been marked by influential milestones in politics, technology, and culture. As part of Firstpost’s series ‘ History Today,’ let’s look back at the key events that have defined this date in history.
Indira Gandhi becomes first female PM of India
On January 19, 1966, Indira Gandhi was sworn in as the first female Prime Minister of India.
This historic moment came after the sudden death of Lal Bahadur Shastri.
Gandhi’s ascent to power marked a new chapter in Indian politics, and her tenure would span over two decades, making a significant impact on the country’s socio-political landscape.
She introduced major policies including the nationalisation of banks and the Green Revolution, which transformed India into a food-surplus nation.
Her leadership, however, was also marked by controversy, including the imposition of the Emergency in 1975.
