    I remember as a non-political 14yo just learning about Gandhi (the other one) and when we had to do a report on a historical figure, I wanted to pick him. My teacher asked me if I meant Indira, and because I didn’t know about Indira and though it might have been how he was named in English, I said yeah sure Indira.

    At first I was like oh no, this is not the right one, but then as I continued it really opened my eyes to something else entirely. IIRC they also used to check for circumcisions at checkpoints?

      that I don’t know or never heard of . But she did nationalization of India’s banks , industries , natural resources and liberated Bangladesh from Pakistani genocidal mongers . she also did friendship with USSR . It was just western white libs had a very racist image on the 3rd world that we breed like rabbits or might be because our infant mortality rate came down after independence and establishing rural heath care system.
