Her dream was to see the end of Article 370 of the Indian Constitution that accorded special status to Jammu and Kashmir. She and her party had dreamt and advocated this for long.

I was waiting to see this day in my lifetime." - . . If life can be kind and cruel at the same time, yesterday exemplified it. Just a few hours after tweeting her message to PM Modi about her lifetime of wait, Sushma Swaraj breathed her last. She died of a cardiac arrest in New Delhi at the age of 67.

Born in a middle-class family in Haryana (a state known for its prejudice against women), Sushma Swaraj, at the age of 25, became the youngest state cabinet minister in India. At 27, she became the state president of her party (Janata Party). Later in her career, she became the first woman chief minister of Delhi, the second woman to become th...
