Indira Gandhi
Daughter of the first prime minister of independent India, she grew up in a house where politics was discussed at breakfast and where her father was regularly taken off to prison. She took charge of the government in 1966 and stayed in power, with one interruption, until 1984. Under her the country stopped depending on imported grain (the Green Revolution), tested its first nuclear device and won the war of 1971, after which Bangladesh appeared on the map. Under her, too, came the Emergency of 1975–1977, with censorship and the arrest of opponents — for which the voters turned her out at the first election that followed. She returned to power in 1980 and in October 1984 was killed by her own bodyguards in revenge for the storming of the Golden Temple in Amritsar.
She was born in Allahabad on 19 November 1917 at 23:11 Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30). The hour is late, and the rising sign of such a chart is especially sensitive to the exact minute.
