Relationship with Sanjay Gandhi

This timeline concentrates on Indira Gandhi's close, yet often controversial, relationship with her younger son, Sanjay Gandhi, and his influence on her political decisions.
Sanjay's Birth
1946
Sanjay Gandhi was born, becoming the second son of Indira and Feroze Gandhi. From an early age, Indira had a strong bond with Sanjay.
Sanjay's Growing Political Influence
1970s
Despite not holding any official position initially, Sanjay Gandhi gained increasing political influence during the 1970s. He became a key advisor to Indira and played a significant role in policy decisions.
Sanjay's Role During the Emergency
1975-1977
During the Emergency, Sanjay Gandhi wielded immense power and influence. He implemented several controversial programs, including forced sterilization and slum demolitions. His actions were widely criticized for their authoritarian nature.
Political Setback
1977
Sanjay Gandhi contested the election from Amethi and lost, along with his mother. This showed he was not as popular as she was.
Sanjay's Re-emergence and Death
1980
After Indira Gandhi's return to power in 1980, Sanjay was elected to Parliament. He was poised to play a significant role in the government but died in a plane crash just months later. This was a major blow to Indira Gandhi and created a political vacuum that was later filled by Rajiv Gandhi.
