Her body language, her dressing sense, her knowledge, her replies.....man, we had some standards back then.
And yes, the standards of dodging the Questions too...

Yes me too

I can't say how good or bad she was as a prime minister but she had class, elegance, brains, beauty, boldness and courage. Respect!!!
Absolutely correct
Yes she was.
And u give so much shit about that right?
Fr
Absolutely and that too during the 80s .... she is inspiring. USA, the greatest economy never had a women president while India had a lady PM in 80s.
Fearless journalism and such an iron leader. Hats off to both.
This is poverty. You have to answer to your colonizers who looted you for 200years. As if they are holy. Or as if they have right to even ask,
question.They dont. Britain has no status except vassal of US. They can't accept they have lost their colonies
Rotten Gandhi family, blind Lindian ratsacks loves licking boots
Iron leader ?? 😂 it means if someday Modi also Implies Emergency then he also will be a Iron Leader 😂😂 What a pathetic analogy by chamcha 😂😂
When journalists had guts to ask questions and pm had the guts to answer it live.. 🙂
It was broadcasted on a state mandated news channel similar to Doordarshan. During Indira Gandhis rule, there’s wasn’t a single source of media broadcasted to the public that wasn’t censored by Indira gandhis administration. This entire interview was most likely rehearsed. So no, she’s not displaying courage she’s spreading her propaganda wisely. Stop glorifying people for no reason. Please be an alert citizen you are the only hope.
All journalists were jailed those days.
@@vedprakashmevada6741 Not at all.
Only some journalists were arrested during Emergency but not before or after that.
@@vickysharma9403 There is saying in our language which goes like this " if you steal an arrack nut you are a thief,if you steal an elephant you are a thief" only a few...Haha.
@@aranlufthansa45 In 1978 she was not a prime minister. She was not even a M.P. Central Government was headed by Janata Party in 1977.
I'm amazed to see the quality of interviews 42 years ago.
Becoz of the network
Yes
Yes
Yes
MRS INDIRA GANDHI= IRON LADY. BBC = FAKE NEWS.
It's fine to praise Indira Gandhi for how she handled herself here but I don't think people notice how well researched this journalist is. For example, he caught her pretty good here 10:45 and got her to admit to his accusation.
He is not only well researched but overly aggressive.. trying to be a hero.. not letting her finish sentences.. where he has no idea how vast and diverse Indian region is, and how difficult to manage.. it’s a huge responsibility
She did not agree to any of his accusations.
@@friendship8539one shouldn’t take up the responsibility of managing it in the first place then if it is too difficult for them.
@@gimmedatthing7829 who said she couldn’t do it.. she did it responsibly.. but what he doesn’t get here is that desperate times call for desperate measures.. that’s all she did and he is not letting her finish her sentences and thus thinks he is right. Even today, India is a vast country with varied cultures, financial, educational regional circumstances are crucial. It is developing economy… she is one of the best and efficient prime ministers India has had.
ADM Jabalpur judgment is the most notorious judgement in India’s History. One no need to do research for that.
If only modi was interviewed like this, half of his answer would go on blaming Congress 😂
Cope
He's still winning without doing interviews 😂😂
@@GuruKhatri1 bhakt spotted
@@AMITKUMAR-nf8in Panchod spotted
@@GuruKhatri1 exactly - but not something to be proud of like u think. why is he not doing interviews? he is a public servant, not a king. he should be answerable to people and give honest explanation about what his govt did/did not do. Only interview he gives is to his bootlicker 'news' channels whose reporting looks like watching a saas-bahu serial.
How can you declare he is winning if he hides from or bans everything negative like a coward?
This is exactly how political interviews should be conducted. A lot to learn from something that happened more than 40 years ago.
The present day journalists must learn how to interview and the present day politicians must learn how to face it...
No we hire PR company and channels and do publicity stunt 🔥🚩
Aaji lund mera🖕 Duniya sabse bada bharshtachari desh bana diya tha in chutiyo ne
Exactly brother, the Godi media really needs to know about the quality of journalism expected from them and the degree of professionalism that is to be maintained during an interview.
Indira the strongest leader of India
Glad she didn't leave the interview by saying "dosti bni rahe"
That's the privilege of Modi
that is like the best reply I have seen over a long time :)
@Mr. X We praised her interview, we would have praised interview of Modi ji but sorry we couldn't find it anywhere
Except for that mango one(with Akshay kumar) and some other.
No press conference from him
Modi Ji says what he want in "man ki baat" but we are not interested in that, we like two way communication just like this one.
You speak of Chai wala becoming PM yes that was great and truly inspiring
But we also know that his power and success is built on Gujrat riots ( on people's grave)
Yes he took great and brave steps like demonetization (which Congress couldn't) but my friend where is black money??
And we also know how GDP dropped after that and it was a failure only poor section pay the price. Lion of "make in india" is roaring in China. Indian democracy index is falling. Freedom of press is questioned regularly. I don't see "acche din".
Yes Modi ji have not taken a single holiday but roaming from from one country to other with world class facility is holiday to me.
Building wall to hide poverty is just one of the modi things. All the things i mentioned should also be mentioned in the Glory of Modi ji in History text books and i bet you my grandchildren will not support his(Modi ji) deeds, except for swachh Bharat abhiyan. Incase you don't now modiji govt. helped corruption by amendment in electoral bonds. So i conclude Judge the person by his work. praise their work if they did good and criticize if they don't deliver.
Here we just admired the interview not the bad deeds by Gandhi family.
Thankyou
Please read complete argument and we can have a healthy discussion for the problem and understand each other.
Look questioning him is not wrong..... It is our right
@Mr. X Done? Many thanks for enlightening all of us here.
BTW, please look up the meaning of the word 'testament' and that's a testimony of your intelligence and knowledge.
@@jitendrasingoriya515 Well said. Just yesterday I had to remind someone very politely that not agreeing with Modi/BJP/RSS does not amount to sedition. We are the citizens of this country and we have every right to laud the good things and complain about the wrong.
Only educated people can speak like her. Graceful and firm and with total clarity.
You can't develop country only by communication...but one should have to take actions
No wonder Brits ruled us for 200 years (they spoke well and butchered Indians) that's what you want I guess
Emergency+ good vocabulary= your leader 🤡🤡
No doubt
Educated person phir ground se jude nhi rhte , bus apne baap ke fame se ban to jate hai Pm. Par phir emergency lagana padta hai

I wish the camera had shown the interviewer’s face when Indira Gandhi said “India is not a small country like the U.K.” He was literally belittled.. 😂😂😂
Really? Who would have known it better than UK which ruled this nation for 200 years? She belittled him? How? By stating a fact?
Why do Indians believe in wars of words? Speech is always cheap and only work is valuable. There was nothing about belittling the interviewer. PM is representative of the country. The last thing PM would do show cheapness before international media. Mrs Indira Gandhi is being diplomatic, wise and intelligent and they aim to make logical statements.
he asked precise questions for which she had no precise answers.. he was right on her face.. now everyone knows she brought in the emergency to remain in power.. she was somehow trying to evade those questions
@rishabh sharma You obviously are a sore loser and a puppet of a Gandhi family but don't expect others to be. You are free to abuse and ridicule the current government. I don't give a damn. I am nobody's cheerleader and yes, this govt hides facts like hell.
I was saying HE STATED THE FACTS, not her. He stated facts that she imprisoned lacks of innocent people and politicians; she forced vasectomy on millions of poor people; she forced the emergency to save her political career, not for the nation. And idiots like you think she belittled him with her innuendo. She clearly seems uncomfortable with tough questions. And before you bark out for "at least facing tough questions". He was a foreign journalists. They are quite unpredictable. Above all, she had censored or imprisoned all brave Indian journalists for questioning her move. Hence, AFTER the emergency, she was trying to save the face by giving interview to a foreign journalist.
But I know "Main bhains ke aage been baja raha hu". People like you are so blinded by hate that you have no time to read the history and think rationally.
@rishabh sharma 1. Wow! So to solve population problem, one should forcefully sterilize poor people. Hope she had done it with your parents. How dumb and sycophant one could be to even defend such heinous and unconstitutional move to defend a psychopath.
2. If it was for her, she would have never uplifted the emergency. When Indians pushed back the dictators like Britishers with their determination, she was nothing. It was Indian masses who protested against her openly and if she hadn't uplifted it, mass revolt would have broken out. Anger was such that despite having no other alternative in politics as all the other ones were quite nascent as was proven when they were elected, people voted her out. But idiots like you are so blind in your sycophancy that you refuse to see that.
3. I have no love for Modi and BJP. And yes, he is as coward as she was. I only said that to save myself from this stupid argument which I saw coming from mindless fanatics like you. But I was wrong. You people are so blind and stupid that you can even defend terrorists if you have to mock that party you oppose.
Now shoo away and lick the feet of your masters and collect your payment. Dumb f#%$!
He looks truly like someone from the 1970’s but apparently she looks like someone from the 2020’s. “timelessness” 👍
So true
Agree.

"India is not a small country like the UK"
You must be crazy? "Badass line from Badass PM". I hope you mean BAD As PM. Do you even know what they're talking about? She put the country in emergency, sterilized more than 2 lakh people, 3000 of them died due to improper treatment, arrested all opposition, and shut off all media houses. And you're taking one line and saying she's badass? And then y'all call us AndhBhakts

FAKENDER MODI FAR AWAY FROM THESE INTERVIEWS 😅😅😅
@@dyalsaraswati3915 You are in delusion, Interviews Modi faced before 2014 were way tougher than what Indira faced. I've been through them all and I am 100% sure that Modi can handle the heat. See the types of interviews modi faced from 2002-2014, in this period he got conditioned for interviews of such types. The sole reason modi does not give interviews is the same reason as indira, both of these personalities hate being answerable or they don't believe in media at all.
Gone are those days when leaders had the courage to give unscripted interviews with utmost professionalism!

One of our big leaders today gave such an interview a few years ago. On hearing the tough questions, he started sweating profusely and asked for a glass of water, before eventually running away from the interview.

If such interview is to be faced by the present PM, all ministers who and IT cell will do all out attack to the interviewer, and the interview will be cancelled. The current politicians have a lot to learn.

Wow, this is the first time I’m watching Indira speak, she has the charisma
Yes I agree
She Answers to her Bosses in London & UK appointed Nehru & Family to Rule Crypto-Independent India
45 Years or 44 when you wrote the comment.
I was studying B.Sc. when emergency was declared. Although I do not agree with her several answers, I like the way she answered and faced the press. She was an iron woman.
Excellent interview. The interviewer is grilling Indira ji like anything else. Look at her face. So cool & calm in answering even such toughest questions. Great vocabulary. No Teleprompters. She is trying to bring the reality of those days. LET POLITICS DIE. One must understand reasons behind those decisions.👌🤘🙏
True
Teleprompter in an interview? Stop commenting just for the sake of it.
Her reasons, not of the people of India!
And seriously, what could be the reasons for mass sterilization programs carried out by her son? Just what?
After watching “Emergency” first look I was wondering how Indira Gandhi used to speak, CZcams suggested me this video. It’s awesome 👏🏻

That was the time of emergency, inserted secular in constitution, forced sterilization, leftist economy and looting away
Super !! This is the way a first person of the nation should answer the unmanaged interview, Brilliant and firm Prime Minister Hon Indiraji Gandhi ,hats off to her and proud of her
It took courage after the emergency you gave interview to media. It's called leadership.
Every person in the power is answerable to opposition ,in regards to policies ,promises ,n developments ,for the betterment of country.
@Bored Af ,Mr Modi has gone even further ,two more steps ahead , regardless of what is happenig with common man ,Modi says he is from a lower middle class family background ,he could understand the problems of lower middle class people in best way , instead he is busy helping to corporate world ,why?to make money ,Indira Gandhi was from a well settled infact from a rich family , usko Kabhi garibo ki takleef ka ehsaas huwa hoga,still us ne RBI se loan nahi maanga 1200 carores ka ,notebandi kya thi, emergency hi thi,aur kaisay hoti hai emergency , I was left with only rs 1200 in my vallet,no cash was in ATM,my husband had suffered a paraleticy attack a few mony before demonitisation,,I had to give rs 350 every day to physiotherapist who use to come for my husband ,My son was in Std 12 th , daughter in Std 10 th ,I had to borrow money from my neighbours ,what u ll call this all,Mr prime minister was in Japan ,as usual on foreign tour ,n people of his country were standing in ques to withdraw money ,what a shame less person,In many countries currency is changed so that people don't make black money ,thought was good ,infact very good ,but implementation was wrong ,no proper guidance ,this demonitisation is totally failed ,that is why the present govt is mum about it
Bored Af She removed the emergency, had fair elections and LOST. Never would have happened if what you are saying is true.
Bored Af India wasn’t “slipping out of her hand.” A lot of countries have turned democracies into dictatorships. Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, the Islamic Revolution of Turkey, Mugabe of Zimbabwe, etc. She could have easily held rule in the emergency forever
Bored Af India is culturally incapable of being ruled by a dictator? What about *literally every single empire/kingdom of India*? Mauryas, Guptas, Cholas, Mughals, etc were democracies according to you? Every country can be a dictatorship man. Im not defending Indira Gandhi as a saint. And you should also give credit where it is true. It’s fine. Hyper partisanship ruins countries.

The way she speaks, her tone is so polite, but what she says is so strong and bold. Almost like a tiger taking care of a baby.
She is our iron lady,
India should not forget important achievements of Indira Gandhi while also criticizing her;
1. Green Revolution: Indira Gandhi's government spearheaded the Green Revolution, transforming India from a food-deficit nation to self-sufficiency in food production through technological advancements in agriculture.
2. Liberation of Bangladesh: Under her leadership, India played a crucial role in supporting the independence movement of Bangladesh, leading to its liberation from Pakistan in 1971.
3. Nationalization of Banks: Indira Gandhi nationalized major banks in India in 1969, aiming to expand banking services to rural areas and promote economic growth by increasing access to credit.

Do you take responsibility of the things that happened.....
Then: yes because i was head of the government.
Now : No , Its an Act of GOD.
If someone like her was a leader today we wouldn't have covid crisis in the first place
Just a quick note, she did this interview after she was defeated in the general elections. When she was in the power she refrained from giving interviews. So you cant compare it at all as BJP is still in power, yes maybe after they are defeated, the members might give interviews...

I must say this lady had a great communication skills. And I also appreciate the Host who had a dare to ask the question. ❤❤🤝🤝
She exudes class. India's pride.
She looks like principal of an indian school
Right bola bhai😃😃
Bcoz they inspired by her dressing scene .
well said bro . I was thinking the same.
My school principal also had the similar personality like her nd also an old age woman.
Why because she seems educated?

Correct British came enslaved looted india.
If the present PM is able to answer any of such questions in front of a media or people....then it would be the 9th wonder of the world.
Full respect. Sound replies and capitulate where needed. Out comes were not positive for Indra Gandhi, but she stuck to truth. I respect her for that👏
She evidently controlled her anger. This guy definitely tried provoking her but failed miserably. It's empowering to see that she chose to answer every question with such poise and confidence. Kudos to her
@dev gana Not we but your parents. Ask your parents what was the situation like after emergency. The only two sources Radio and newspaper, which was significantly manipulated by the PM. They chose her due to misinformation and lack of knowledge of ground reality. ( but her work was for the nation was quite commendable)
He was not provoking her at all. He was asking very important, serious, and in-depth questions, there is nothing wrong with that.
@dev gana Well I am pretty darn sure that you are neither highly nor properly educated considering your illogical assumption and conclusion. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Forced sterilization of 1976 is considered one of the dark history of Indian politics. I hope you are not dumb enough to see Forced Sterilization as a good thing.....Do some research.
@dev gana Listen "Mr Highly Educated " , Your bigotry baffles me. You don't know a thing about me , I am not from UP or Bihar. But the way you are talking about these states clearly shows what kind of mentality you have. No one can expect you to give a rational judgment about our country leaders. FYI look at the past decade toppers of Civil services exam and many others. Okay...so you better keep your chauvinism to yourself.
Do you even listen to yourself when you think of saying it out loud??
Dude I'd be insulting myself if reply you one more time.
I guess they are right, never agrue with a fool. Oh oh ...sorry, "highly educated fool"......
And first read my first comment.
I didn't mean to say anything derogatory about your parents in anyway. And I am sorry if you think this way.
I also said some of hers works was commendable. But emergency and Forced sterilization was certainly not one of them.......
Have some sense what you are talking about.
And one last thing....a highly educated person never needs to say he/she is highly educated.
@@user-yd2eq3yi7k Why were you even responding to him. Today there is enough books, reports and interviews to find out what went wrong when. If anyone still chooses to be dumb about it you cannot change them. This is the best time to be informed and if he chooses otherwise you cannot help. Chill karo yaar.

KAYI REASONS HAIN. History padh bhai, Sirf emergency toh sbse zyda highlighted hai qki darkest period tha! Aurat ye bohot besharam thi
Those were the days when leaders used to face tough questions in contrast to mango interviews of today 😂
I admire her more than ever! India needs strong personalities like her now!
Those were the golden days when Interviews didn't include questions about Mangoes. Baaki, aaj kal to logon ko 'Dosti banaayi rakhni hai.' 😂😂
Ya good times. People were imprisoned, forcefull mass birth control campaigns, putting anyone who opposes u in jail. Truly good Times
@Hmare Veer Saput abee kya bol raha hai. Hindi mai bol chalega. I can't understand u
@Hmare Veer Saput that's because what u said was bullshit. I am in no way saying modi is fair and very democratic. He is not. But my problem is that however bad he might be u seriously can't compare her with Indira Gandhi. Look Indira Gandhi's emergency was far worse than the situation today. That's my point. And pls don't speak nonsense. Konse political opponent ko mar dala. Hame bi thoda gyan dedo
wow dude😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@meghjoshi9444 if you feel those were not good times Then you should also check if press and media has any freedom left today..
I admire her poise and charisma. She was answering some very difficult questions and yet never lost her cool.

Hey 👌👍
No matter how much you hate her, you always gotta respect her.
Her rule was anything but poised or charismatic.
@CHIRAGA ARJUN Right.
I can never even imagine leaders of the nation today show up for interviews like these today
Indira Gandhi Mathaji is without a doubt the most powerful and best prime minister of India, despite the fact that I voted for the BJP. Even after a century, nobody can defeat Indira Mathaji.
The elegance, confidence, posture and attitude is far better than current modern day politicians of India.
How confident she was!! "the future of India is us to decide and we'll decide it in India and it's not anybody else's business"-what a strong commitment..
One of the best PM India had ever, after jawaharlal Nehru.
The greatest PM India had❤
Her family only ruled. You mean she was better then her father and son? And daughter in law
Can any Indian leader at present in power face a foreign interviewer so harsh
But nobody is of her Status today.
No one
Good question 👍👍👍
They can't even face national journalists.. What to say about foreign.. 😂 😂..
Definitely if someone put all the indian journalists into jail.
9:08 "I'm afraid you see India is not a small country like the UK." Ouch, that burns!
No that does not. Size of a country DOES NOT MATTER. It would if India can and would succeed in even coming close to half the power and influence THE British had achieved. Size doesn't matter. It took the US more than 4 centuries to even stand up. Unity, Equality, Knowledge, Fairness, Discipline, Integrity... basic requirements for rising.
I knew someone here would bring up the religion issue. This has always been the Achilles heel that brought the region where it is today. Nothing to do with Democracy.
@Vidisha Alwani I know! that is so true!! However, I have seen societies, levels of equality, peace, freedom, "public services" in a few "so called Democracies". Now in the matter of comparison to Democracy in INDIA say with
Democracy in the U.K or
Democracy in Japan or
Democracy in Israel or
Democracy in U.S. or
Democracy in France or
Democracy in Malaysia...
...😓phew😰 its a whole another world
@Vidisha Alwani In many ways and practical aspects yes it is.
India doesn't have the highest rape numbers in the world. This is completely wrong information. I don't like this generalised accusations against our men. Rapes are committed by a evil few.
After emergency, she faced this interview. What a women she was.
Another PM walked out in the middle of interview when journalist asked uncomfortable questions in a devil advocate.
Dosti Bane rahe 😂
I wonder if UK ever had India s interests ever in their mind. With all due respect to the aggressive journalist, Mrs Gandhi has exhibited a spine, answered his questions with conviction and logic. Feel sorry for the journalist being faced with stark truths of the emergency from the then elected government of the day. Kudos Mrs Gandhi.
It's a case of both the journalist and the politician doing their jobs well. Journalists should aggressively pursue the truth on behalf of the public and politicians should face those searching questions and leave it to the public to decide whether they are being sincere and truthful. We rarely, if ever, see this today.
As you say, Mrs. Gandhi's spine is very clearly in evidence here. She absolutely knew how to handle questions by carefully examining the question itself, analyzing the precise words being used to avoid getting tangled up in attempts to catch her out. Kudos to her, but also to Jonathan Dimbleby (the journalist here) who took on her mighty intellect, but arguably lost this battle. I doubt whether any journalist managed to outwit Mrs. Gandhi.
Forget about Indian leaders not even world leaders can face media like that.Bravo our Iron lady.
She was an absolute bitch if we are being honest here.
What did she do to you? She represented india better than Feku

It's her genuinely behaviour that after the emergency she didn't removed Sikhs guards! But those idiots betrayed her belief.
How gently she says: "I am afraid..that's a very rude question, entirely baseless"..👏👏👏..calm and composed while answering a provoking question.
While reading ur comment coincidencely I was listening the same speech
She had to be calm after imposing that state of emergency.
A very civil and yet firm response to every question. That is the kind of head of state we should look for today. We lost a great leader. That vacuum is still felt
The present generation will not understand what present day India is deprived of.
She was truly the destiny of India. Back then it was principled politics. She was brave to accept mistakes, to accept responsibility and accountability as Prime Minister of the country. Salute to her memory.
"the future of India is for us to decide, and we will fight it out in India.
I don't think it's anybody else's business"
Brilliant !
that was the best part of interview 😁
ɷɷɷɷ I Have Watchedd This Movieeee Leakedddd Versionnnn Here : - t.co/e6QlTccFx6
She was a remarkable person not liked by enemies of India. What she achieved in 1971 rarely in the history of the world has any one achieved. Thus the U.S. Jewish lobby hated her as well as Henry Kissinger (their man) was no match for her, besides her personality made foreigners feel inferior to her thus all the attacks. Her husband a Parsi of a fine family was made by planted data falsely as a Muslim. In any case in the land of Gandhiji all religious are respected. A true believer in democracy she immediately stepped down when she lost the elections. She is Mother India to most Indians. She also gave India nuclear weapons in the 1974 blast.
Timing?
the woman who destroyed india
When leaders had the guts to face questions about policies instead of mangoes and clothes.
And the guts to put all political opposition leaders in jail and forcefully sterilize poor people. Wow what a leader.
@Traveller897 the feeling is not mutual.
You took my words 🙊
@Traveller897 yeah sirf interviews hi deti hai aur political prisoners jama karti hain and forced sterilization karti hain, baki kuch nahi.
@Traveller897 u must be a MUSLIM aren't u?
Future of India is for us to deside and we will find it out in India and I don't think its anyone business...bang on..what a fearless lady..U will be remembered till the end of the world and thank you mam for your dedication to our nation..India is indira..❤
She faced the questions with confidence.
And now Modiji drinking water and saying dosti bani rahe .
Oh man, Can anyone imagine to see this kind of interview with the Current PM of my country?
@Aishwarya Patil Thousands were also killed in Gujrat. But Modi never gave an interview. Atleast she did
@Aishwarya Patil how come mori never does interveiw. Go check out his interview with Karan Thapar, He was almost crucified. Second, Indira gave better reasoning for her actions than him. Third, you can only say that because he had been given clean chit from the court. So had she. Communual politics is not the way forward. His policies at economic front has failed miserably. It will decline if something is not done soon.
You are the prime minister of India and you dont even feel the need to face media. India has been polarised. I dont like congress. But atleast they did not call people anti india and terrorist just because they had an unfavorable opinion. Things are getting regressive and instead of breaking taboos. We are building a lot of taboos.
We want a secular country. I agree modi is not currupt. But he is fake. He will even try to media publicize it if he poop lol.
@Aishwarya Patil You are so blinded by your own stupidity and unnecessary pride, nothing I will say will make you understand. But still one thing why doesn't Modi gives interveiw is because people will realize how stupid he is. He is nothing but just a demagogue, which you will only realize when this countries GDP will be destroyed. Its ok to be proud. But to publicize it as every front come on, its annoying. Modi is downright stupid who makes stupid statements like his Radar theory while interveiw. You live in a democracy where Modi is not obliged to give interviews which is considered to be the third pillar of democracy. Wow thats a nice thinking of you. Second India was not secular. Do you even know what secularism means. India was never one country, it was never intigrated, Ashoka tried to intigrate, but so did samjdragupta, but all in vain. So india was a subcontinent, it was never a country before 1947. We have to thank our freedom fighters who gave their life for this country to be made. And by the way, muslim league and RSS were just bootlicker of britishers who just wanted minority rights for themselfs.. if it was for them this would have divided a while back. Thanks for the likes of Nehru who was a great leader who gave it the foundation that it still won't be shaken. Secular doesn't teach you tolerance, it teaches you acceptance and respect for others thought. I hate Hinduism, because its communual like other religions. I love Sanatana Dharama because its universal
Do you have any problem with your imagination. You silly what made you to think this is a wonderful interview. Stupid dumb.

😂😂😂one shot back...
She may try to rationalize her decision to bring about the emergency, but what is wrong is wrong.. One remarkable thing about the video is the fact that the journalist came up with some of the hard hitting questions to any Prime Minister of a country and the Prime Minister agreed and stayed through the entire interview to share her views and respond to the journalist's questions..
Excellent interview, admire her confident and the way handling questions.
