Indira was born in 1917 to Indian nationalist Jawaharlal Nehru. In 1921 India was granted statehood and she and her family moved from their small residence in Kolkata to a large house in central Delhi. In 1923 her grandfather Motilal Nehru became Indian President. In 1962 her father could not stand for a fourth term, so Indira put forward her candidacy for the Liberal nomination. She won the nomination (although almost entirely because of her fathers endorsement). She went on to win the Presidential Election and on June 10th 1962 became India's 6th President.

  • Indira was born in 1917 to Indian nationalist Jawaharlal Nehru. In 1921 India was granted statehood and she and her family moved from their small residence in Kolkata to a large house in central Delhi. In 1923 her grandfather Motilal Nehru became Indian President. In 1936 she went to Spain to attend the university of Madrid. She returned to India in late 1938. When in 1939 General Bose launched a military coup she and her family fled India and settled in California. Whilst in California Indira helped her father in his attempts to organise a resistance against Bose's dictatorial regime. In 1953 uprisings in Mumbai and Ceylon showed the unpopularity of Bose and that June Indira and her father returned to India to a hero's welcome. Less than a month later Bose was toppled from power and her father became acting President. In 1954 India had its first ever Presidential election, her father won by a large majority. In 1962 her father could not stand for a fourth term, so Indira put forward her candidacy for the Liberal nomination. She won the nomination (although almost entirely because of her fathers endorsement). She went on to win the Presidential Election and on June 10th 1962 became India's 6th President.
