Indira Gandhi, who was assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards, knew that her end was near.
In the October of 1984 Indira Gandhi went to Kashmir, she particularly liked the state when it was seasons were changing.
A visit to a Hindu and a Muslim shrine, which she had come believe in, was also on the itinerary. It was at the Hindu shrine, she saw the sign, reports The Times of India.
A shriveled tree at the temple was the sign which suggested that she was going to die soon. The reading made her thoughtful and on the way back she spoke about it. Her close aide M L Fotedar, who had accompanied her to Kashmir and had seen the sign,also felt the same way.
On the last day of the month Indira Gandhi's premonition came true.
He has recorded the anecdote in his forthcoming book "China leaves".
