INDIRA GANDHI MEMORIAL MUSEUM
Read moreVery popular with Indian tourists, this residence opens some of the pieces of the private residence of the former Prime Minister of India. You will see photographs and several personal objects that belonged to the mistress of the sites. In the garden, a glass window surrounds the very place where Indira Gandhi was murdered by her bodyguard in 1984.
As his name does not indicate, Indira Gandhi had no relationship with the Mahatma. She was the daughter of Jaharwal Nehru. His assassination follows the operation Blue Star launched on 30 June 1984 by Indira Gandhi inside the Sikh temple of Amritsar. At that time, some members of the Sikh community sought independence and had fled to the temple. The operation was a carnage despite the sanctity of the temple, and it was badly perceived by many Indians and Sikhs in particular. On October 30 of the same year, Indira Gandhi said in a speech, «If I have to die in the service of the nation, I will do so with pride». She was murdered the following day by her two Sikh bodyguards who criblèrent her body of 30 bullets.
