Air India flight was forced to return to Indira Gandhi International airport here shortly after take-off due to a crack in the windshield of the Boeing 787 aircraft, an official said. Delhi-Kolkata #AI20 took off from Delhi at 2.25 pm but returned to the airport due to a crack in its windshield, said an Air India official. It was a double whammy for the passengers who could resume their journey only after a delay of over three hours as the replacement aircraft too developed a technical snag, according to the airline source.

It was Nehru's death in 1964 that knocked Gandhi from the sidelines of power to its pinnacle. She had yet to be popularly elected to any post, but she had become a force to be reckoned with. She was president of the Indian National Congress (a political party) and, as a result of traveling frequently with her father, had become a world-famous personality on a first-name basis with monarchs, presidents and prime ministers around the globe. Following the brief and undistinguished interregnum of Lal Bahadur Shastri - whom Indira repeatedly upstaged from the vantage point of his cabinet and her newly appointed seat in the upper house of the Indian legislature, potentially contributing to his death by heart failure not two years into his term - Gandhi was the clear choice to assume power. The vile, crushing marriage of Gandhi and Indian democracy had a decent enough honeymoon. In 1971 she led the military victory over U.S.-backed Pakistan that resulted in the independence of the wracked nation of Bangladesh.

Emerging from this triumph, Gandhi found herself virtually deified by the Indian people and became, according to a Gallup poll, the world's most admired person. Considering its geopolitical consequences on the Indian subcontinent today, her detonation three years later of India's first nuclear device may or may not qualify to Western readers as a highlight of her 18 years in office, but the underground explosion certainly played well in the Punjab. Her favored son, Sanjay, plotted out the Machiavellian schemes executed in her name.

Gandhi's closest and most corrupt advisor, he plays a composite of Goneril, Iago and Lady Macbeth to Gandhi's increasingly myopic and manipulated crypto-monarch. (As one participant in the events reflected, his death in a 1980 plane crash was as lucky for India as it was unlucky for Indira.) But even setting aside Sanjay's criminal associations and tactics, his fraudulent business enterprises and dictatorial leanings, his mother's political character emerges as one increasingly hostile to the democratic values that inspired the men and women who brought her, and an independent India, into the world. Consider the dismal two years of Gandhi's Emergency, her end-run around the enemies who nearly ousted her on the elections charges: Hundreds of thousands were jailed for dissent, with nearly two dozen deaths from desperate conditions in overcrowded prisons. Some were tortured. As many as 23 million Indian men were sterilized under Sanjay's coercive population-control scheme, and many thousands were rendered homeless by his 'beautification' program of bulldozing slums. Meanwhile the domestic press was muzzled, the foreign press was expelled, the world's largest democracy went without elections and the courts and the constitution were all but disemboweled. A more illuminating analysis of Gandhi's relationship to power might suggest that her proximity to it gradually stripped her of everything else in her life.

She devoted everything to her father and his career, and he only grew away from her. With her parents' deaths, her husband's abandonment and death, her son's death, a creeping alienation from her few close friends and finally a permanent estrangement from her daughter-in-law and grandson, Gandhi (her left eye twitching furiously) ultimately wound up with one fix, one rush, one companion. She didn't even drink. All that was left to her was power - that, and the adulation of multitudes, the greatest multitude a democratically elected leader had ever served. Even as she ached for the normality and peace of private life, the woman dubbed Empress Indira by admirers and critics alike could not bear to be parted from her crown.

India suffered for it no less than did Indira. To the extent that Gandhi failed to produce lasting solutions to India's chronic woes - religious tensions and the now-nuclear-charged conflict with Pakistan over Kashmir - and to the degree that she sought to preserve her own power by playing politics with those incendiary situations, India, along with the rest of us, is still suffering for her shortcomings.
