-Sidharth Ray percieved Indira Gandhi to work towards the betterment of the country, and thus came up the lines from the “Constitution Of India”

Article Number 352 of the constitution declaring

“A STATE OF EMERGENCY” in the country.

“The power to rule by decree and suspending elections and

civil liberties”

• Rashtrapathi Bhavan – Approval of the proposal, for imposing internal emergency.

“the proclamation stated that there is an imminent danger to the security of India being threatened by the internal disturbances”

• NEGOTIATION & DECISION MAKING on a huge issue was done in 20 minutes.

But CONFLICTS came up when Sidharth Ray came to know about certain unacceptable conditions

-Power cuts at the Press within 3 hours- The courts might not be opened the next day

Arguments between “Sanjay Gandhi and Sidharth Ray:

-Sanjay Gandhi – “You don’t know how to rule”- Sanjay Gandhi with his MACHIVELLIANISM PERSONALITY believed that “ends can justify means”

• But Indira Gandhi promises to Sidarth Rey that things would not go wrong.

• Same way the courts were open, but none of the major newspapers were printed.

• TIME MANAGEMENT was seen when

CONCLUSION:

Findings & Analysis

After a huge decision, it is clear that everything was done to safeguard Indira Gandhi’s position. And even though she had a second thought in her mind to resign, it was her son Sanjay Gandhi who took over her on making the decisions. A severe state like this was just not needed. India did not have such major issues to declare a state of emergency. But there are people who was for and against it.It is clearly seen that, though Indira Gandhi took a risky decision, she was just a puppet handled by her son, who actually has the intention to take over her seat when he gets his turn.

NDIA WAS PLUNDERED MORE BY THE INDIANS THAN THE ENGLISH
