Indulged yet also neglected as a child, Indira Gandhi was prepared for leadership by her proud, expansive father, Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime minister.
Jayakar, biographer of Krishnamurti, is especially revealing on Indira's unhappy marriage to Feroze Gandhi, on her key role in freeing East Pakistan now Bangladesh from West Pakistan's bloody rule and on her relationship with her sons Sanjay, killed in a plane crash in , and Rajiv, assassinated in Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Noted Indian intellectual Jayakar knew Gandhi for over 30 years, and his numerous interviews, discussions, and interactions with her help shape this biography.
One of the first women to govern a major country, Gandhi belonged to a family that has ruled India for most of its recent history; she herself was the daughter of a prime minister and was succeeded as prime minister by her son after her assassination in Significantly, Jayakar moves away from the earlier paeans of praise to a more critical assessment of Gandhi's contributions to the Indian polity. The Emergency and subsequent events are not treated with the same depth as the earlier period of Gandhi's career, but this will unquestionably become one of the standard biographies.
As a woman and one of the few friends India's most powerful woman ever had, Jayakar has rare insight into her subject's heart and soul. Gandhi shared some of her earliest memories with Jayakar: her love of climbing trees and hiding among the leaves and her sense of "fierce responsibility" when her grandfather was arrested for his role in instigating India's struggle for independence.
Jayakar's access to Gandhi at crucial turning points in Gandhi's tumultuous life enabled her to recognize and articulate the subtler aspects of Gandhi's complex relationships with her powerful father, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru; her neglected, sickly, and religiously inclined mother; her philandering husband, Feroze Gandhi; and her two sons who, like Gandhi herself, came to violent ends.
As Jayakar examines Gandhi's astonishing life, she reveals how adept Gandhi became at internalizing and concealing her fears, wielding meaningful silences as a negotiating tool, and ignoring flattery. This is an almost unbearably dramatic and "doomswept" life story. The personal intersects with the national; spirituality and politics tangle, and the will of one brilliant, resilient, and passionate woman is set against the collective desires of millions.
