He urged Indians to boycott the new law and to suffer the retribution for doing so. The community adopted this plan, and during the ensuing seven-year struggle, thousands of Indians were jailed, flogged, or shot for striking, refusing to register, for burning their registration cards or engaging in other forms of nonviolent resistance. The government quelled the protest easily, but the public outcry constrained the South African leader, Jan Christiaan Smuts, to negotiate a compromise with Gandhi.
The British did not recognize the declaration, but negotiations ensued with Congress taking a role in the provincial government in the late s. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong. What he thinks he becomes. Learn as if you were to live forever. He quit the non-vegetarian diet when he was in London for his law studies.

Acute amoebic dysentery almost killed him in , but Gandhi refused to be treated by modern medicines. He believed dysentery could be cured by abstaining from food.

During the Emergency, the government directed its energies toward sterilization, with a focus on the simpler procedure of vasectomies. To encourage men to undergo the operation, incentives such as cooking oil and cash were offered. Then government workers began to be required to meet sterilization quotas to get paid. Reports came out that vasectomies had been performed on boys, and that men were being arrested, then sent to be sterilized.
Some began sleeping in fields so as to avoid sterilization teams. At the beginning of , Indira called for elections, ending her Emergency rule.

After Sanjay died in he was killed in a plane crash , tensions rose further. Things came to a head when Maneka defied Indira to attend a rally of Sanjay's former political allies which didn't help the political interests of Rajiv, Sanjay's brother.

I am more loyal to my mother-in-law than even to my mother. Though the prime minister got Maneka to move out, she paid a price as well: Maneka took her son, Varun, with her, and being separated from a beloved grandson was a blow for Indira. As a female leader in the 20th century, Indira Gandhi was a member of a very small club. Yet she had one friend who could understand what her life was like: the Iron Lady herself, Britain's Margaret Thatcher.
Indira and Thatcher first met in They got on well, despite the fact that Indira was engaged in her undemocratic Emergency rule at the time.
