About — Indira Gandhi Emergency 1975
The Indira Gandhi Emergency (1975‑77) was a 21‑month period when Prime Minister Indira Gandhi suspended civil liberties, dissolved Parliament, and imposed authoritarian rule after a declared internal emergency. It reshaped Indian politics by curbing dissent and centralising power, exemplified by the mass arrests of opposition leaders such as Jayaprakash Nehru.
