MCQ
Solution
1964 to 1966
Explanation:
From 1964 to 1966, Shastri served as Prime Minister of India. The country faced two big obstacles during Shastri's brief tenure as Prime Minister. While India was still recuperating from the economic consequences of its war with China, failing monsoons, drought, and a severe food shortage posed a major threat. In 1965, the country was also involved in a conflict with Pakistan, as detailed in the previous chapter. The iconic phrase of Shastri, 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan,' symbolized the country's willingness to meet both challenges.
