💨 Abstract

The Emergency of 1975-77, marked by suppression of dissent and changes to the Constitution, led to a slow recovery of Indian democracy through court rulings, new laws, and citizen movements. The Emergency was triggered by a court ruling that found Prime Minister Indira Gandhi guilty of electoral malpractice, but the government declared an emergency and placed the Prime Minister's election beyond judicial review.
