Question

9. On which around the critics of emergency justified the protest and movement against the government in 1975 ?​

Answer 1

The series of events between 1973 and 1975 that brought new

challenges to India’s democratic politics and the institutional balance

sought by the Constitution. These developments led to the imposition of

‘emergency’ in June 1975. Normally, we would associate ‘emergency’

with war and aggression or with natural disaster. But this ‘emergency’

was imposed because of the perceived threat of internal disturbance.

The Emergency ended as dramatically as it had begun, resulting in a

defeat of the Congress in the Lok Sabha elections of 1977.
