New Delhi: While John Cena headlined March 12 episode of Monday Night RAW with his dauntless challenge to the 'Deadman', The Undertaker, the recent red-band episode held a special and a respectable place for most Indian fans. Celebrating ‘Women’s History Month’ throughout March, the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) paid a special tribute to India's first and only woman Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi through a short clip. WWE aired a minute-long video dedicating to the former Prime Minister of India and was played after the match between RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax.

The Entertainment show took to their Twitter handle to share the video along with the caption, "WWE honors the first and only female Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi, in celebration of #WomensHistoryMonth."

The video speaks about Indira's leadership through turbulent times and also referred to her as a 'skilled diplomat and a fierce negotiator'. WWE appreciated Indira for her concern towards the environment and agriculture self-sufficiency, which was referred to as the Green Revolution. WWE admired her as a Champion of Civil Rights. The video also showed a small section of her 1966 speech where she is seen talking about equality and that she is ''first an Indian citizen and the first servant of the land."

"For her courageous leadership during a dangerous era, WWE is proud to honour Indira Gandhi for Women's History Month", and thus ended the clip.

Indira was India's second-longest serving Prime Minister after her father and the first PM of the nation, Jawaharlal Nehru. She served the post for two terms - January 1966 to March 1977 and again from January 1980 until the day of the assassination in 1984. And the end of the last millennium, Indira Gandhi was announced as the ‘Woman of the Millennium’ in 1999 through an online poll organised by BBC.
