She broke the highest ceiling in Indian politics: the first woman to hold the presidency, leading a republic of over a billion from 2007 to 2012.
Pratibha Devisingh Patil was born on 19 December 1934 and trained as a lawyer before entering politics with the Indian National Congress. She served in the Lok Sabha from 1991 to 1996, then became Governor of Rajasthan in 2004. Three years later, in 2007, she was elected president of India — the first woman to reach the office. She served a full term until 2012, presiding over the country during a period of economic growth and regional tension, then stepped back from public life.
