For the unversed, under Article 352 of the Constitution, an Emergency was passed under the rule of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, in effect from 25 June 1975 and it ended on 21 March 1977 allowing not only elections to be cancelled but also civil liberties to be suspended. It was based on the rationale that there were imminent internal and external threats to the Indian state and it was considered to be one of the controversial periods of Indian politics as it resulted in several human rights violations and extensive bloodshed due to riots.
