Indira Gandhi

Indira Gandhi, Prime Minister of India, had a secretary who followed Baba. Gradually Indira too became a follower.. Baba told her that her son Sanjay would die the following year..Baba indicated that Sanjay's actions were invasive. (Sanjay had been involved in the forced sterilizations of thousands). Baba teaches universal nonviolence which
would seem counter to Indira's invasion of the Sikh temple which may have caused her assassination.
Nevertheless she advanced the cause of India's poor and stood up to militarily more powerful countries. She also
cancelled the export of primates to the United States after finding that in violation of a treaty they were being
used in military research.
