History

Historical Context

The Indian Emergency, declared by President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed on 25 June 1975 after Prime Minister Indira Gandhi cited internal disturbance, suspended elections and civil liberties for 21 months. Over 100,000 opponents—including Janata leader Jayaprakash Narayan—were detained under MISA. That legacy of centralized power informs today’s criticism of Y.S. Jagan Moh Reddy’s YSR Congress for allegedly using authority to silence dissent.
