It appears to me that Indira Gandhi had the obsessive compulsive personality disorderhttp://www.psychiatric-disorders.com/articles/personality-disorders/obsessive-compulsive.php.

The subject was a perfectionist, she did not review her decisions and these are characters which match OCPD.
The clue is in this storyhttp://books.google.co.in/books?id=_lNDSxderIYC&pg=PA27&lpg=PA27&dq=indira+gandhi+and+british+doll&source=bl&ots=G0t3pk1pJo&sig=RCreAYQR113TWgjy6QJF83j_OF4&hl=en&ei=htzlSrPnA4j6kAWnmJyeAQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CA4Q6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=indira%20gandhi%20and%20british%20doll&f=false
"at last I made my decision and, quivering with tension, I took the doll up on the terrace and set fire to it"
It is a characteristic of OCPD that the subject is forced to do things he subconsciously doesn't want to and later devolops a strange behaviour of strict adherance to rules
A source says she was "never guilty".
"She displayed her ruthlessness in political interventions. It was Indira who first let loose the spectre of cross-border terrorism.She helped tamil militancy grow in Sri Lanka and provide Tamil militants with arms training. She was very self-righteous.She would have viewed some of her actions as political mistakes but never regretted her decisions like the emergency"
