    Indira Gandhi and her LegacyBy: SVS Subrahmaniam | 19-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward When ever the %u201CZikar %u201Cof Indira Gandhi comes we can not forget her and feel why she died so %u201Cearly%u201D. To day to handle the complex situations of the country she is the most required %u201CShakthi%u201D but we do not have her. But we need a %u201CShakthi%u201D like her is the reality. A woman of vision planning administration and control like Indira Gandhi will rarely born to a country. I know %u201CJatasya Maranam druvam%u201D; any birth will definitely have to die, but definitely I am feeling her absence today to save the country which is in trouble. I am not glorifying or personifying Indira Gandhi, but I am failing to see any other person of such qualities and strengths to lead such diverse country and develop. She did contribute to the nation as much as she could. We are remembering her on her 92nd Birth anniversary today and I pray God to rest her soul in peace %u201Cwith out bothering much what are happening in our nation%u201D. Let us hope for some one like INDIRA GANDHI come to lead and save us and our country!
