Abstract [English]

In Indian politics, democratic norms and values always remain unassailable. It is worth mentioning here that citizens have enjoyed their rights and duties without any obstacles since the country's independence. However, the quality of leadership remains an integral fabric of Indian democracy. Hence, India has been experiencing the rule of many robust leaders. Even Indira Gandhi was amongst the leaders who had heard her own voice, not others. She was appointed as the prime minister of India for the periods from 1966 to 1977 and 1980 to 1984. Nonetheless, it gained importance in Indian politics, where female politicians advocated for gender equality and served as the prime minister.
