Meet Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, the pioneering diplomat who shattered glass ceilings from prison cells to the United Nations podium. Imprisoned repeatedly for her activism in the freedom struggle, this fearless woman emerged to make history as the first woman elected president of the UN General Assembly in 1953. The first Indian woman to hold a cabinet position in pre-independence India, she served as ambassador to multiple nations while raising her children alone after her husband died in British custody. Later, she boldly criticized her own niece Indira Gandhi during the Emergency, proving that principles mattered more than family loyalty. Nehru's sister stepped out of his shadow to become a global icon of women's leadership.
