For those unfamiliar with the historical context, the Emergency was declared under Article 352 of the Constitution during the tenure of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Enforced from June 25, 1975, to March 21, 1977, this period witnessed the cancellation of elections and suspension of civil liberties. The controversial move was justified by perceived imminent internal and external threats to the Indian state, leading to significant human rights violations and widespread bloodshed due to riots.
