In torment even now!
Just imagine a period of uncertainty, and censorship: Two or more people are not allowed to come out and gather in public, Anyone revolt or rebel be taken into the custody and slap charges for posing threat to internal security of India,Opposition leaders were locked up in jail or Anyone spoke against Mrs Indira Gandhi for that matter.
Newspaper were not given free hand to publish news, concerning the state of the nation, and infact it was bowdlerized. In the name of the manufactured excuse to protecting the security of India, the nation was traumatized.
There were two reasons associated to it: Slum clearance drive and sterilization and her unconditional love for her son,Sanjay Gandhi, made her to run the dreadful spree. And she never regretted for such a wilful act, rather Trump up and glorified it as a drive to protect the nation.
And because of her wicked act, some of the senior politicians like Jayaprakash Narayanan had serious health issues. Infact , it was due to his suffering inside the captivity, he had a renal failure, and ultimately resulted in his death.
Even now, it haunts so many. And i often wonder how come she was an iron lady, when all she did was behaving altruistic to his son, and affecting the normal lives of people. And to Remorselessly visiting ailing JP and offering her wish for recovery is the best example of Her demonish face.
