The Emergency Period during Indira Gandhi regime is often regarded as dark days of Indian Democracy. But what was the actual reason behind Indira Gandhi proclaiming the emergency of 1975? In this mini-documentary, I go in depth to explain the root causes and reasons behind it. Starting from 1969 and the infamous battle between the legislative and judiciary to pass the privy purse laws and the nationalisation of banks laws.

    बिलकुल सही-सही विश्लेषण किया है आपने| मैं उन दिनों कॉलेज में था| राजनीतिक तौर पर मैं और मेरा परिवार काफी जागरूक रहा है| उन दिनों देश के जैसे हालात थे, मुझे इंदिराजी के कदम समाजवाद की ओर बढ़ते हुए लगे| इसलिए मैंने इंदिरा जी का समर्थक बन गया| वे चुनाव हारें या जीतें, इससे मुझे मतलब न था, वह आम आदमी के कल्याण के लिए काम कर रही थीं, इससे मुझे मतलब था| आपात्काल में भी मुझे कभी खौफ नहीं हुआ| इस दौरान फिल्में भी काफी अच्छी आयीं| मुझे लगा कि देश की तरक्की के लिए समाजवाद ही बेहतर विकल्प है| आज नरेन्द्र मोदी और भाजपा सरकार का विरोध इसलिए करता हूं कि वे सिर्फ कॉरपोरेट के लिए काम करते हैं| आम आदमी पर तरह-तरह से मार पड़ रही है| तिसपर पीएम की कुर्सी पर बैठकर वे सफेद झूठ और नफरत फैला रहे हैं| - प्रकाश सिन्हा, मुंबई (स्वतंत्र लेखक-पत्रकार)

    I retired from Central service Gr A 15yrs ago. Worked during emergency in the regime of IG. I remember it was truly best time. We rather enjoyed disciplined service with highest efficiency. Thank you, Dhruv ji, for your wonderful presentation of real stories for the knowledge of today's generation who are being misguided by the wicked people.

    Judiciary should definitely be more powerful because at once legislature can think of their own benefit but Judiciary is a voice of common people and to keep check whether the government is violating rights common people so Judiciary should take care of it
  • As usual a multidimensional issue is clarified in single dimensional way Hats off to your way of presentation
