Your insider insight into the dark days of Emergency was thought provoking. Althought, South India was spared much of the attocities, it was truely Orwellian in content and form.
Although Mr. B Patel was very sensible, one might start wondering another BJP successor now Mr. Modi, under no pretext of Emergency practises no better than those days, Just read the diaries of the brave Sreekumar, where he notes that the request from the CM are atrocious even under Emergency time. A loyal civil servant is denied his due promotion for not toeing the unlowful line.
Anyway, it was illuminative to read your assessments.

You can read any other news paper for pro congress articles, or even see any news channel today! Be happy
Dear Rediff, Kudos for your article with Sri Chandramouli. Truely emergeny was the darkest period of India and was a blemish on our democracy. Press was unlawfully & strictly censored, which was the initiation of oppression of freedom of speech and views. Congress have been following this sincerely even today. Unfortunately, today's congress still support the imposition of the emergency. Congress ruined the country more than British & Moghuls. Dr. Rakesh. United Kingdom.

You are absolutely right. Congress ruined our country INDIA completely. It was the one who sow the seed of corruption and now see where is it.
In the article, chunnibhai vaidya's name is mentioned. At present he is running a movement against government's decision to give land to corporate houses. At this age also he is very energetic and committed. in the article it is rightly said, ' a committed gandhian'.
sir it was great that u opened the facts. But it is the Past not present In present time also Power is being utilised to suppress the human rights. Money is used to purchase anything in this in this country. e.g. education in donation colleges . Meritorious students are denied admission only because they do not have lakhs of ruppees. Big politicians are running such colleges. Execess number of Doctors and Engineers are produced without any control.The unethical practises these graduates use to become successfull ,are harmfull to our society and dares to talk about it due to the fear of money and pollitical power. Many things still are being done to torture people. So i think thogh not declared the Emergency still exists in some other forms.
