Emergency: Declared then, Undeclared now

Leaflet Specials
Special Issue: Emergency

The Emergency was a dark and shameful chapter in Indian democracy; a nightmare, a wretched period! It has been 46 years since the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi imposed the Emergency to protect her power, turning the entire country into a prison. But the last seven years show that democracy, its rules and regulations can also be a perfect cover to suspend democratic values and civil rights.
