#Thread: The Murder of the Indian Democracy

Indira Gandhi succeeded LB Shastri as the PM of India.

Her Term:
1. 24th January, 1966 to 24th March, 1977.
2. 14th January, 1980 to 31st October, 1984.

In these 15 years & 9 months, she amended the Constitution ‘32 times’.

#Constitution offers basic guidelines & principles for the efficient functioning of our nation.

It dictates the fundamental political principles, powers & duties of the government & also enumerates the fundamental rights, directive principles & duties of the citizens.

However, according to me, 3 amendments introduced in the Constitution during the #Emergency1975, tweaked this very characteristic of the Constitution.
