Raghu Rai

The idea for this book germinated when a pictorial feature, shot by Padma Shree photographer Raghu Rai, on a day in the life of Indira Gandhi appeared in JS magazine in June, 1972.
The enthusiastic response to the feature suggested the possibility of its expansion to book form. As the book slowly took shape, with the photographer focusing on the domestic details and the political saga of Mrs. Gandhi's life, someone remarked that the Prime Minister lives a normal lifetime in a single day, and show more so the title was born.
The book is not just another biography illustrated with official photographs. It is rather a sensitive unfolding of a day in the life of a remarkable woman, and of necessity a day that indulges artistic license to span many monumental and ordinary days in order to project an image of the unusually busy and varied life that Mrs. Gandhi leads.
The result is a fresh and unique look at the woman who manages the affairs of a vast nation at this present time. It is intended as a contemporary and human study rather than a political one, as a portrait in personality rather than an exhaustive document of minutiae: the point being not whether Mrs. Gandhi eats two eggs for breakfast or whether she prefers orange to green, but how she is able to remain human in a job that requires superhuman qualifications and stamina. show less
