Correction/Clarification - In the video, we wrongly say that Sanjay Gandhi was Indira Gandhi's first son. This is not true. Rajiv Gandhi was her first son, though he was not involved in politics initially and came into the field only later.
Emergency was one of the darkest periods of Indian history. Every time a protest erupts and the government is on the defensive, people still fear whether it will lead to an emergency. In this episode, we look at the emergency period in detail and how its legacy still remains in the country.
