    The Emergency (India)

    In India, "the Emergency" refers to a 21-month period in 1975–77 when Prime Minister Indira Gandhi unilaterally had a state of emergency declared across the country. Officially issued by President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed under Article 352(1) of the Constitution for "internal disturbance", the Emergency was in effect from 25 June 1975 until its withdrawal on 21 March 1977. The order bestowed upon the prime minister the authority to rule by decree, allowing elections to be suspended and civil liberties to be curbed. For much of the Emergency, most of Gandhi's political opponents were imprisoned and the press was censored. Several other atrocities were reported from the time, including a forced mass-sterilisation campaign spearheaded by Sanjay Gandhi, the Prime Minister's son. The Emergency is one of the most controversial periods of independent India's history.

    Prelude

    Rise of Indira Gandhi

    "Indira is India, India is Indira."

    Between 1967 and 1971, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi came to obtain near-absolute control over the government and the Indian National Congress party, as well as a huge majority in Parliament. The first was achieved by concentrating the central government's power within the Prime Minister's Secretariat, rather than the Cabinet, whose elected members she saw as a threat and distrusted. For this she relied on her principal secretary, P. N. Haksar, a central figure in Indira's inner circle of advisors. Further, Haksar promoted the idea of a "committed bureaucracy" that required hitherto-impartial government officials to be "committed" to ideology of the ruling party of the day.

    I watch you in the candlelight
    My hand is in your hands
    The neon lights have all gone down
    We make our future plans
    I wanted things to get better
    I was in pain
    I wanted you to be my lifeline
    I wanted love to get better
    I wait in line
    For something I knew that I would get to keep
    Yo, I love you
    Yo, I love you
    Yo, I love you
    And I can feel it bleeding
    Yo, I love you
    Yo, I love you
    Today is the day

    Yo, I love you
    Yo, I love you
    And I can feel it bleeding
    Yo, I love you
    Yo, I love you
    Today is the day
    That I love you
    The flashing lights have gone away
    Emergency has past
    The future's right in front of me
    And I won't finish last

    That I love you
    Today is the day
    That I love you
