When the Villains of Emergency Became Cabinet Ministers

THE EMERGENCY OF 1975 was an all-encompassing assault on the Constitution and democracy. It was a fatal invasion of the Indian national spirit from which we will probably never recover. In this episode, we narrate the heartrending stories of three unknown heroes from Haryana who fought Indira Gandhi's Emergency and pretty much lost everything. One hero was a mere teenager whose body was physically broken but his spirit remained unyielding. This episode also investigates the impulses that seeded the Emergency. The Emergency was not so much a political atrocity as much as an expression of the dark forces hidden within the human psyche. The Emergency was the dictatorial avatar of the Gandhian intolerance for any opposing views. This podcast gives a brief list of the villains of the Emergency along with their brief CVs. If anything, most of these villains were rewarded with Cabinet ministries and not punished for their excesses.
