Sarma Launches 'Emergency Diaries', Seeks Constitutional Changes
The Assam Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, has released a book about a difficult time in India's past called the Emergency.
The book talks about how people stood up against the government during that time, especially Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Sarma believes that some words added to India's main laws, like 'secularism' and 'socialism,' don't fit with Indian traditions.
He wants the government to remove them from the Constitution.
