“Indira Gandhi used saam, daam, dand, bhed (persuasion, bribery, punishment, and division),”
Neerja Chowdhury, How Prime Ministers Decide

“As many as eight out of the fourteen PMs were from Uttar Pradesh”
Neerja Chowdhury, How Prime Ministers Decide

“There were five men who influenced Indira Gandhi’s life and decision-making, according to the historian Ramachandra Guha: her father and India’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru; her husband, Feroze Gandhi; and her principal secretary cum political advisor, P. N. Haksar, who guided her between 1967–73, considered her best years in politics. Then there was Jayaprakash Narayan, who opposed her rule, leading her to impose the Emergency. But it was her son, Sanjay, who wielded the maximum power over her. He was her ‘blind spot’, and she had ‘very little control over him’.”
