[ad_1] Paromita Das GG News Bureau New Delhi, 3rd Jan. Indira Gandhi, often called the “Iron Lady” of Bharat, is a figure who evokes both admiration and controversy. Her tenure as Prime Minister saw some of Bharat’s most transformative moments, including decisive victories on the international stage and periods of deep internal strife. However, a closer examination of her legacy reveals that her image as the “Iron Lady” is not without blemish. Her handling of key issues, particularly the 1971 war and its aftermath, raises questions about the sacrifices made in the name of diplomacy and power. The release of 93,000 Pakistani prisoners of war (POWs) after Bharat’s historic victory in the 1971 Indo-Pak war is often lauded as a magnanimous gesture. But the haunting stories of Bharatiya pilots and soldiers who never returned from Pakistani prisons present a stark counter-narrative. While Indira Gandhi’s bold decisions in many arenas earned her the title of “Iron Lady,” this unresolved chapter of her leadership remains a poignant reminder of the cost of political priorities. The 1971 War: Triumph and Tragedy The 1971 Indo-Pak war is a defining moment in Bharatiya history and Indira Gandhi’s political career. Her decisive leadership during the war played a critical role in the liberation of Bangladesh, marking a historic victory for Bharat. The war demonstrated her ability to stand firm against international pressure, particularly from the United States, which supported Pakistan. Gandhi’s defiance and strategic alliances with the Soviet Union underscored her resolve and geopolitical acumen. However, the aftermath of the war reveals a different story. While Bharat secured the surrender of 93,000 Pakistani soldiers, the fate of Bharatiya soldiers and pilots captured during the war remains a tragic mystery. Pilots like Wing Commander Harsaran Singh Dandos and Squadron Leader Mohinder Jain, along with dozens of others, disappeared into Pakistani prisons and were never accounted for. Despite having leverage with the 93,000 Pakistani POWs in custody, the Bharatiya government did not insist on the repatriation of its missing soldiers. Critics argue that Indira Gandhi’s focus on diplomatic gains overshadowed the urgent need to secure the release of Bharat’s own warriors. Families of these missing soldiers have long decried this as a failure of leadership and a betrayal of those who fought for the nation. A Stark Contrast: The Release of Wing Commander Abhinandan The handling of Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman’s release in 2019 provides a striking contrast to the 1971 episode. Captured by Pakistan after his fighter jet was shot down during the Balakot airstrikes, Abhinandan was returned to Bharat within 60 hours. The Modi government’s stern warnings to Pakistan, backed by international diplomacy, ensured a swift resolution. This stark difference highlights a key critique of Indira Gandhi’s leadership during the 1971 war’s aftermath. While her government secured a historic military victory, the failure to prioritize the return of missing soldiers remains a glaring oversight in her legacy. The Simla Agreement: Diplomacy or Missed Opportunity? The Simla Agreement, signed in 1972 between Indira Gandhi and Pakistan’s then-President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, aimed to establish peace and resolve future disputes through bilateral dialogue. However, many view the agreement as a diplomatic blunder. Bharat returned the 93,000 Pakistani POWs and vast swathes of captured territory without extracting concrete commitments from Pakistan on key issues, including the return of Bharatiya prisoners of war. Critics argue that this was a squandered opportunity to hold Pakistan accountable for its actions during the war. While the agreement is often presented as a testament to Gandhi’s vision for peace, it also underscores the limitations of her strategy in securing justice for Bharat’s missing soldiers. Indira Gandhi’s Strengths and Flaws Indira Gandhi’s legacy as the “Iron Lady” is rooted in her bold and decisive leadership during crises.
Her ability to command respect on the global stage and her contributions to Bharat’s nuclear program, agricultural reforms, and military modernization cannot be denied. She was a leader who inspired confidence during times of uncertainty, earning her the admiration of millions. However, her tenure was also marked by controversies, including the imposition of Emergency in 1975, which curtailed civil liberties and concentrated power in her hands. Her handling of the 1971 war’s aftermath, particularly the issue of missing soldiers, highlights a significant gap in her otherwise resolute leadership. Was She Truly the ‘Iron Lady’? The title of “Iron Lady” is a recognition of Indira Gandhi’s ability to make tough decisions in the face of adversity. Her leadership during the 1971 war exemplifies this quality, as she navigated complex geopolitical challenges and secured a decisive victory. However, the failure to prioritize the return of Bharatiya POWs casts a shadow over this legacy. Her critics argue that her focus on consolidating power and pursuing diplomatic objectives sometimes came at the expense of human lives and national interests. The stories of missing Bharatiya pilots and soldiers serve as a painful reminder that strength in leadership must be accompanied by accountability and compassion. While Gandhi’s contributions to Bharat’s growth and global standing are undeniable, her legacy is incomplete without addressing these unresolved questions. Her title as the “Iron Lady” remains valid but must be viewed through the lens of both her triumphs and her failures. Conclusion: A Legacy of Strength and Controversy Indira Gandhi’s life and leadership continue to be a subject of intense debate. Her bold decisions during the 1971 war and her ability to navigate complex challenges earned her the title of “Iron Lady.” Yet, her tenure also serves as a reminder of the costs of prioritizing diplomacy and political gains over human lives. The unresolved fate of Bharatiya soldiers and pilots captured during the 1971 war remains a haunting chapter in Bharat’s history, challenging the narrative of Gandhi’s infallible leadership. While her contributions to the nation are immense, her legacy must also account for the sacrifices and oversights that defined her time in power. Indira Gandhi will always be remembered as a leader of extraordinary strength, but her story is also a reminder that true leadership demands not only courage but also accountability and compassion.   The post Strength vs. Accountability: Rethinking Indira Gandhi’s ‘Iron Lady’ Legacy appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.

When PM Modi Declined Imran Khan's Midnight Call After Balakot Strikes
In the aftermath of India’s Balakot strikes, several countries offered to send special envoys and China too suggested that it could send its deputy minister to both countries to seek de-escalation but New Delhi declined the offer, says former diplomat Ajay Bisaria.
In his upcoming book, Mr Bisaria, who was serving as Indian High Commissioner to Islamabad in that period, also writes that India was willing to send an aircraft of the Indian Air Force to Pakistan to bring back Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, but the Pakistani government refused permission.
Tumblr media
Varthaman (now Group Captain) downed a Pakistani jet on February 27, 2019, before his MiG 21 Bison jet was hit in a dogfight.
Pakistan had launched the retaliation for the Balakot airstrikes a day before. Varthaman was captured by the Pakistani Army and was released two days later.
“We were willing to send an Indian Air Force aircraft to pick him up but Pakistan refused permission; the optics of an Indian Air Force plane landing in Islamabad after all that had happened over the previous three days, was, of course, not acceptable to Pakistan,” Mr Bisaria writes.
In his book, ‘Anger Management: The Troubled Diplomatic Relationship Between India and Pakistan’, he also says several countries had offered to send special envoys over to the subcontinent but this was no longer necessary.
“Even China, not to be left behind, had suggested that it could send its deputy minister to both countries to seek de-escalation. India had politely declined the offer,” he says.
In the book published by Rupa, Mr Bisaria, who had a distinguished diplomatic career spanning 35 years, delves into various aspects of India-Pakistan relations since Independence.
The ties between India and Pakistan came under severe strain after India’s warplanes pounded a Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist training camp in Balakot in Pakistan on February 26, 2019, in response to the Pulwama terror attack.
Mr Bisaria says that the day after India’s air strikes at Balakot, the ambassadors of the US, UK, and France were informed during a briefing by the then Pakistan foreign secretary Tehmina Janjua about a message she received from the Pakistan Army.
The message said that “nine missiles from India had been pointed towards Pakistan, to be launched any time that day”.
“The foreign secretary requested the envoys to report this intelligence to their capitals and ask India not to escalate the situation. The diplomats promptly reported these developments, leading to a flurry of diplomatic activity in Islamabad, P5 capitals, and in New Delhi that night,” Mr Bisaria writes.
The permanent members of the UN Security Council, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States, China and France are known as P5 nations.
“One of them recommended to her that Pakistan should convey its concerns directly to India,” says Mr Bisaria.
Mr Bisaria also writes that then Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan wanted to talk to his Indian counterpart.
“At around midnight I got a call in Delhi from Pakistani High Commissioner Sohail Mahmood, now in Islamabad, who said that PM Imran Khan was keen to talk to Prime Minister Modi,” he says.
“I checked upstairs and responded that our prime minister was not available at this hour but in case Imran Khan had any urgent message to convey he could, of course, convey it to me. I got no call back that night,” he recounts.
“The US and UK envoys in Delhi got back overnight to India’s foreign secretary to claim that Pakistan was now ready to de-escalate the situation, to act on India’s dossier, and to seriously address the issue of terrorism,” he says.
Mr Bisaria says “Pakistan’s PM would himself make these announcements and the pilot would be returned to India the next day.
He says India’s “coercive diplomacy” had been effective, its expectations of Pakistan and of the world had been clear, backed by a credible resolve to escalate the crisis.
“Prime Minister Modi would later say in a campaign speech that, ‘Fortunately, Pakistan announced that the pilot would be sent back to India. Else, it would have been qatal ki raat, a night of bloodshed’”.
On overall regional geopolitics, Mr Bisaria writes that Pakistan Prime Minister, Imran Khan conveyed to China that it should support Islamabad since the United States decided to back India against China, but Chinese President Xi Jinping “declared that China would not be propping up Pakistan against India”.
“I also learnt that Khan had told the Chinese that they should support Pakistan since the US had decided to support India against China. President Xi Jinping apparently responded sharply to Imran Khan for this simplistic geopolitical assessment and declared that China would not be propping up Pakistan against India,” he says.
“He had advised Khan that it was the US that could help Pakistan in its India relationship and it would be in Pakistan’s interest to make up with the US as well as with Afghanistan,” Mr Bisaria writes.

Pakistan government considering to register treason case against minister for Abhinandan remarks
A top minister in his statement has cleared that the Pakistan government is considering registering a treason case against a senior leader from the opposition party as he gave a statement in which he said that Pakistan handed over captured Indian Air Force pilot Abhinandan Varthaman India under pressure. On Wednesday las week, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Sardar Ayaz Sadiq said that "legs were shaking and forehead perspiring" during a meeting of the top Pakistani leaders including Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa. This was the meeting in which Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi requested the government and all others to release Abhinandan otherwise India would attack Pakistan. "Legs were shaking and forehead perspiring, and the foreign minister (Qureshi) told us, 'For God's sake, let him (Abhinandan Varthaman) go back now because India is attacking Pakistan at 9 PM in the night'," Mr. Sadiq said as he narrated the meeting in which leading parliamentary personalities were also part. "India was not planning to attack... They just wanted to kneel before India and send back Abhinandan,” he added.
Lately, Pakistan Interior Minister Ejaz Shah confirmed that considering the remarks made by Mr. Sadiq, the government was contemplating to register a treason case. He also added that a number of complaints against Sadiq have also been registered with the Police.
The population of the constituency of the former National assembly speaker is also showing protest as a range of posters with pictures of Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman and Mr Sadiq were displayed. The posters displayed Mr. Sadiq in Abhinandan’s dress with slogans like "Mir Sadiq, Mir Jaffar... Ayaz Sadiq."
