About this listen

Indira Gandhi had a tumultuous political journey in the 1970s, a time when her escalating paranoia led to drastic measures that reshaped #India. Her reliance on the Soviet Union's support and KGB intelligence fueled her fears of CIA influence, prompting her to impose a state of Emergency, break up her own party, and corrupt the government in unprecedented ways. Within her complex relationships with global superpowers, there was a tragic loss of her son Sanjay, and the long-lasting impact on India's political landscape. It was an intricate web of espionage, political intrigue, and the legacy of corruption that defined an era.
