Indira: A Graphic Biography By Devapriya Roy and Priya Kuriyan

HISTORY COMES ALIVE: THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF INDIRA GANDHI.

Who was the woman behind the name? In this brilliant graphic biography, Devapriya Roy and Priya Kuriyan weave together past and present to tell the story of India’s first and only woman Prime Minister. The narrative unfolds through the eyes of young Indira Thapa, a schoolgirl tasked with an essay about her namesake. Through a serendipitous friendship with an artist researching Mrs. Gandhi’s life, young Indira—and the reader—are swept into a vibrant, visual journey across the most formative decades of Indian politics.

From the quiet, determined childhood in Allahabad forming the Vanar Sena and the youthful romance with Feroze Gandhi, to the corridors of power, elephant rides in the rain, and the tragic conclusion that shook the nation, this book captures the magnificence and complexity of a titan. With a seamless blend of text and stunning illustration, Indira is both an educational guide to history and a compelling human story.
