What position did Indira Ghandi hold?
The Prime Minister’s post.
In India, the president’s post is akin to the British queen’s post. Because India is a democratic republic, the British queen couldn’t be allowed to be the head of state, as is the case in Australia and Canada.
Most of the powers in the Indian system is in the hands of the Prime Minister and his/her selected Cabinet of Ministers.
While India has had several women in positions of power most notably Indira Gandhi, who was elected to the more powerful position of prime minister in 1966, and her daughter-in-law, Sonia Gandhi_ many women still face rampant discrimination.
