India has always been governed by intellectual leaders. However, certain situations have lead to create unprecedented stir in the country. One such historic moment was portrayed back in 1975. Then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi decalred a national Emergency on June 25, 1975.
This emergency took away the power and freedom of one and all. It bestowed all powers only on Indira Gandhi. Noted to be as one of the darkest days of the country after Independence, it certainly curbed powers of media and journalism too. None of the Indian citizens had any civil liberty on account of this Emergency.
