Emergency and Neo-Emergency (Authentic Verified) by M.G. Devasahayam

"In light of the ruling establishment? declaration of June 25 as ?amvidhaan Hatya Diwas,?the author feels compelled to highlight the striking parallels between the human rights violations witnessed in the last decade and those during the Emergency. Both periods, the declared and the undeclared, have seen a relentless assault on dissent, with writers, journalists, students, and politicians all bearing the brunt of such attacks.

This thought-provoking work raises probing questions: Is the Emergency truly a thing of the past? Who or what was primarily responsible for its imposition? How was it defeated, and by whom? Moreover, how does the current state of affairs in India bear resemblance to an era of neo-Emergency? The author scrutinizes how the country? democracy has oscillated between two extremes?he two dark years of the Emergency and the subsequent ten years that have been even more oppressive, which he terms as the ?ark-dark period.?
As both the masters and minions of these turbulent times claim to be the ?efenders of democracy,?the author offers a resounding rebuttal: they are not. If they are not, then who can stand as the true defenders of democracy? This central theme drives the discourse of the book.

With profound respect and gratitude, the author dedicates this work to the great warrior, Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan?hom he considers ?he son JP never had.?Narayan, a towering figure in the struggle during the Emergency, gave selflessly to the nation and its people, asking for nothing in return, embodying the true spirit of sacrifice and commitment to democracy.
