About this title
In June 1975, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi suddenly declared what she called an internal ‘Emergency’, jailing her opponents and silencing the press. For 21 months, the world’s largest democracy was in the midst of a virtual dictatorship. Indi(r)a’s Emergency chronicles this dark period in India’s past and the lessons it holds for its future.
