Emergency & the Darkest Era of Indian Politics!

Hi Rediff,
It is 100% true that the Emergency Period declared by Mrs. Gandhi was one of the darkest eras of Indian History. But, in my opinion, it was not as darkest as that of Mr. Modi's Reign in Gujarat and religious riots. I am not justifying the Emergency, but Mrs. Gandhi was not as Mad or Maniac as that of Mr. Modi. He was only a Chief Minister and such a public violence by the Gundas supported by a truly elected State Goverment may be the first of its kind in Indian History. Please tell as how do you say that "the people of India know the true value of Democracy, Mr. Modi was re-elected just after the riots."
