Emergency
by kamalendra singh on Jun 23, 2010 04:39 PM

Though silent when it was imposed? not a dog barked. ok but the elections of 77 showed that people can bite.The celebrations that night were the hellalujha of the indian spirit. newer generation maynot know or care but it was the 1st step away from the MaiBaap era. Remember that Congress just imitated the Britishers by adopting the Mai Baap attitude towards the people of India.

What emergency proved?
by miviu on Jun 23, 2010 04:31 PM

Lack of unity among people, political leaders..
Ability of Nehru family to thrive on weaknesses of people..
Decades of stagnation... while gaping other countries growing past us...
Importantly, Majority becoming minority..
And there can be many more...

Corruption led emergency was like curse

Actually Indians vote based on caste, religion and not on merit. They do not deserve democracy. Instead they should be treated with perpetual emergency.

The problem with democracy in 1975 was that the rulers were highly corrupt and Indians did not get any benefit of emergency.

BRUTUS OR ANTORNY!!!!!!!!!!!

Antony! The writer is giving the same speech Mark Antony had given at JULIUS CAESAR'S funeral.

It is lucky that she had no intentions of an autocrat. She wanted to silence a few ... you know... under the influence of her son!
If she had an autocratic character, by now our country would have been another Pakistan or Afghanistan and of course not a Burma
