History

Historical Context

In June 1975 Prime Minister Indira Gandhi imposed a national Emergency, suspending civil liberties and detaining about 100,000 opponents, a move justified as protecting stability. The episode reshaped the Indian Constitution in 1976 and forged a narrative that opposition threatens sovereignty, a theme the BJP revives today by accusing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of foreign-backed subversion.
