On Emergency Anniversary, PM Modi's "Democracy" Post And Row Over NCERT Move
The word "Emergency" gets thrown about a lot in the Indian political discourse. Today, however, marks the only time in India's democracy that it was officially imposed in 1975 by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
India observes Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas on June 25 as a reminder of the events that unfolded when the Constitution of India was undermined. The day also serves to honour and remember all those who endured hardships during the Emergency period.
