This evidence proves that she had compassion, because when India was struggling with agriculture she helped fix that, showing that she she cared about the poor and  agriculture. In addition, Indira also showed nobility. When Indira was helping the agriculture she found out that Pakistan was having some problems. For instance, the author of history.com states, " In 1971, the Pakistani army conducted violent acts against people of East Pakistan. Nearly 10 million people fled to India. She invited the president and resolved the problem,''(History.com 2015). This evidence shows, that Indira Gandhi is noble because she cares about the people`s welfare and likes to resolve any kind of people`s problem.

Additionally, another long term impact is that she made the policeman actually care about their jobs. When people came to the officers to tell them about a crime, the cops didn't really care about what they said. Indira wanted to do something about this ridiculous behavior. So she said that if you do this behavior you will get fired. These long term impacts that Indira did helped India become a better place.
