This year the 3 euro section of the French school of Pondicherry will be working hand in hand with the bilingual section of the French school of Hong-Kong. The name of our Indian project for 2010 is "Living in a Book", because we are indeed living in a book! Our friends from Hong-Kong will create a travel blog.

Mrs Gandhi
Hello it's me again. I am going to talk about history. Again? I have to admit that it is often boring but not always. So, let's talk about Mrs Gandhi. She is also know as Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi. She was born on November 19th 1917. She was the daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru. She married Feroze Gandhi. Like her father, she undertook a political profession. She was the first woman Prime Minister of India from 1966 to 1977. She also had two sons: Rajiv and Sanjay Gandhi. When she came to power, India was in need a food. She began the Green Revolution, and ten years later, India was able to export rice and other grains. Even if her popularity was increasing, she was blamed by most of the Indians. In 1975, India was in a period of instability due to her tyrannical government, which led to her lose in the elections in 1977. She was still a great prime minister because she symbolised feminism and helped women to become equal to men, unfortunately, she was assassinated on October 31st 1984 by her two Sikhs guards.
