#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.

The Constitution was framed in a way to ensure that the Parliament does not have the power to override it.
However, according to me, 3 amendments introduced in the Constitution during the #Emergency1975, tweaked this very characteristic of the Constitution.

(2) He had to remain underground for 21 months as a MISA warrant was issued for all senior opposition leaders. We own an entire road in Delhi as we had a big business and have a huge house.
Our entire house was sealed and only one room was later de-sealed after 3-4 days.

(3) 2 Policemen used to stay at our home 24*7 so that they can arrest my grandfather if he comes to meet his family.
The ACP used to come and take my father (him being the eldest child) to police station late night to interrogate him and ask about my grandfather's whereabouts.

The socio-economic condition of India was in bad shape between 1972-1975. 2 Wars and the influx of 8 million refugees from Bangladesh had strained the economy. There was a sharp increase in oil prices and prices of commodities.
Few important parallel developments at the same time include the Nav Nirman movement led by Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (@ABVPVoice) in Gujarat, Sampoorna Kranti (total revolution) agitation led by Jayaprakash Narayan (JP), & national strike by the Railway workers union.
41 years ago, in 1975, India saw its darkest phase since Independence when then M Indira Gandhi called for an emergency to be declared across the country. The emergency was issued by President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed under Article 352(1) of the Constitution.
