Emergency 1975: Dark Chapter in India's History

In 1975, India's government declared a state of emergency, suspending many basic rights.

This meant the government could arrest people and censor the news.

Opposition leaders were put in jail, and the press couldn't report freely.

The government also began to enforce policies.

This period, called the Emergency, remains a significant and controversial part of Indian history, raising questions about the balance between security and freedom.
