    Iron Lady of India:

    When I [Shirley] was younger, my mom would tell me about the remarkable Indira
    Gandhi who supported our country, Bangladesh, during our fight for liberation. Growing up, I
    realized that just as France was to the United States during the Revolutionary War, India was to
    Bangladesh. Without her assistance, I would have been somewhere in East Pakistan with a lack
    of knowledge and resources. Dorothy and I, we brainstormed for a leader in the Indian-Arab
    region and we wanted to research someone who was scarcely mentioned in our textbooks. We
    decided that Nehru-Gandhi was the perfect fit for our tastes, a strong-willed woman that existed
    not too long ago.

    Since us both decided on creating a website, we immediately began to research every possible
    database that has been published on the web such as articles, newspapers, documentaries,
    journals, speeches, and more. To further our research, with the intent of wanting to hear Gandhis
    leadership through the voices of Indians and non-Indians alike, we set up and conducted several
    interviews. After doing that, we both went to the library to check out any and every book that
    related to Gandhi in our county libraries. We both attempted to get in touch with the Indian
    Embassy as well as Sonia Gandhis office and residence and the Indira Gandhi Memorial
    Museum both of which are located in India. Due to the fact that none of them could have been of
    assistance, we decided to dig even deeper into the Google search engine and contact Facebook
    pages dedicated to Indira Gandhi.

    While deciding to participate in National History Day this year, we simultaneously came
    to the conclusion of developing a website towards Indira Gandhi. A website was the most ideal
    type of project for us both since we both have experience with creating a website for National
    History Day due to the fact that we both participated last year. A website is easiest to display a
    plethora of information since it is capable of displaying numerous pictures and videos and
    different types of multimedia and is easily accessible anywhere with Internet access. In addition,
    I [Shirley] have relatively some experience with webpage developing as I have been coding for
    nearly six years and am familiar to HTML, CSS, and Java. Therefore, it would have been a grave
    mistake of neither of us put our experience to use.

    Indira Gandhi effortlessly relates to the theme of Leadership and Legacy because
    Gandhi was in fact a political leader of the largest democracy in the world, India. But of course,
    that does not necessarily mean that she provided leadership by default. Gandhi at a young age
    helped her country to freedom and led it towards democracy and success during her reign with
    her reforms and decisions. The topic of legacy is even more germane to Gandhi because those
    same judgements led India to where it is today in various aspects of growth; particularly in
    politics, economics, and most significantly international recognition.
