Season 245 - Day 8 of 14

Asian History

Famously satirized as “The Widow” in Salman Rushdie’s novel Midnight’s Children, what is the first and last name of the political leader who dramatically altered the map of South Asia by militarily intervening in the 1971 war that resulted in the creation of Bangladesh?
Four years later, she orchestrated “The Emergency,” a controversial 21-month period of suspended civil liberties, before ultimately being assassinated by her own bodyguards in 1984.
