“Mr President, lots of people are saying that dictators end up in a noose like Saddam Hussein, or with a knife up their ass like Ghadafy, or in front of a firing squad like Ceausescu, or gunned down by their own bodyguards like Indira Ghandi, or beaten to death by a mob like Musollini, or killing themselves like Hitler.

As prime minister, [Indira] Gandhi was known for her uncompromising political stances and centralization of power within the executive branch.… Responding to separatist tendencies and a call for revolution, she instituted a state of emergency from 1975 to 1977, during which she ruled by decree and basic civil liberties were suspended. More than 100,000 political opponents, journalists and dissenters were imprisoned. She faced the growing Sikh separatism movement throughout her fourth premiership; in response, she ordered Operation Blue Star, which involved military action in the Golden Temple and killed hundreds of Sikhs. On 31 October 1984, she was assassinated by two of her bodyguards, both of whom were Sikh nationalists seeking retribution for the events at the temple.
