LETTER BANK XXI

DISPLAYING LEADERSHIP

In a letter bank, the letters of one name, word, or phrase are used - and repeated as necessary - to spell a longer name, word, or phrase. No other letters may be used. For example, IMPS is a letter bank for MISSISSIPPI. Only the letters I, M, P, and S are used to spell MISSISSIPPI.

Take the name HARDING, as in President Warren G. Harding. Using just these seven letters, and repeating them as often as necessary, name a famous Asian leader of the past - first and last names, twelve letters all together. Who is it?

HINT:
This person was the child of an even more famous parent.

Answer:

INDIRA GANDHI (daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru)
