As the 1970s unfolded, India witnessed a fierce power struggle between Parliament and the judiciary, driven by the vision of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. This episode delves into how this battle unfolded, the pivotal amendments introduced by her government, and how a seemingly simple property dispute would become the basis for a defining constitutional showdown. Key Points: The Aftermath of Golaknath: A quick recap of the Golaknath verdict, which limited Parliament's power to amend fundamental rights, triggering waves of political and legal tension. Indira Gandhi's Response: A look at the political climate under Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who challenged judicial constraints with radical constitutional amendments. The 24th Amendment granted Parliament broad powers to amend the Constitution, while the 25th Amendment prioritized social welfare over individual property rights. The Role of the Judiciary: As the amendments took shape, the judiciary faced mounting pressure to define its role as a constitutional guardian. This episode discusses how the Golaknath ruling and subsequent amendments tested the judiciary's boundaries and set the stage for the next battle. The Entry of Swami Kesavananda Bharati: A fascinating turn of events began with a monk from Kerala, Swami Kesavananda Bharati, who sought judicial intervention to protect his monastery's property. This episode explains how his petition spiraled into a constitutional debate on Parliament's amending powers, leading to an unprecedented Supreme Court bench of thirteen justices. Setting the Stage for the Kesavananda Bharati Verdict: As the country watched, the Supreme Court's thirteen-judge bench prepared to hear arguments questioning the scope of Parliament's authority. We close the episode with the anticipation of the debates and the monumental verdict to come. Notable Quotes: “This wasn't just about property anymore; it was about the soul of the Indian Constitution itself.” “Did Parliament's power to amend the Constitution include the power to destroy it? Or were there certain ‘basic structures'—principles that could never be touched?” Why Listen? This episode sets up the climax of the battle over India's constitutional identity, exploring the intense political maneuvering, legal arguments, and personalities that defined a critical chapter in Indian jurisprudence. Whether you're a legal enthusiast, a student, or simply curious about India's legal history, this episode provides a deep dive into the factors that shaped one of the most impactful doctrines in constitutional law.

In the final Installment of our special 3-part podcast series marking 40 years since the November 1984 Sikh Genocide in Delhi, we delve into the aftermath of one of the most tragic and horrific chapters in modern Sikh history.Part 3 focuses on the aftermath of the genocide, exploring the responses of the Indian Government, the international community, and the Sikh community. We dissect the various official commissions set up by the Indian government in an attempt to investigate the events of November 1984 — commissions that, rather than delivering justice, often served to bury the truth and protect the perpetrators of this organised violence.Rather than viewing the genocide as a singular, isolated event tied solely to the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi (as discussed in Part 1), we explore the broader context and systemic nature of the violence, showing how it was part of a larger pattern of discrimination and targeted attacks against Sikhs.We also highlight the journey the Sikh community undertook to seek justice for the victims and survivors of the genocide, the challenges they faced, and the strides they have made in the pursuit of accountability.Join us as we honour the memories of those lost in the 1984 Sikh Genocide and reflect on the lessons that must not be forgotten.Check out: https://www.nsyf.org.uk to learn more!#1984SikhGenocide #SikhHistory #JusticeFor1984 #SikhDiaspora #IndianHistory #Delhi1984 #GenocideAwareness #NeverForget #SikhCommunity #SikhRights #PodcastSeries——————————————————

In 1975, the Allahabad High Court finds Prime Minister Indira Gandhi guilty of electoral malpractices during the 1971 election and rules that she needs to step down as Prime Minister. This triggers a series of events that culminate in the imposition of Emergency in India - a period when all civil liberties of common citizens, are taken away by the government.

The BJP-led coalition government has lifted the ban on government employees taking part in activities of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, or RSS, an organisation which has been banned three times since India attained independence. The RSS was banned days after Gandhiji's assassination by Nathuram Godse in 1948, during the Emergency by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and under civil society pressure after the demolition of the Babri Masjid in December 1992. Interestingly, the restriction on central government employees associating with the RSS remained in force during the first two terms of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and under Atal Bihari Vajpayee during his 1998-2004 terms. So, the question that arises is: why now? Is Modi trying to appease the RSS after facing an electoral setback? Didn't RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat indirectly poke fun at Modi saying he wasn't biological during the recent election campaign? Does this decision have anything to do with what appear to be efforts to remove Adityanath as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh? Guest: Nilanjan Mukhopadyay, independent journalist, columnist and author. Host: Amit Baruah, Senior Associate Editor, The Hindu. Edited by Sharmada Venkatasubramanian.

Post-independence India had a big problem–about 40% of its land wasn't, well, India. Instead, this land was in the hands of the princely states: Rulers who had signed agreements accepting the rule of the British Empire, while getting a relatively free hand to rule their local jurisdictions. And these weren't small states. Hyderabad–whose ruler made noises about independence, at least initially–had a larger income than Belgium, and was bigger than all but twenty UN member countries. But the power of the princes was so eroded over time that, by 1971, then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi could remove one of the last remaining public privileges of the prince. How did India (and its neighbor Pakistan) win the battle against the princes? John Zubrzycki in his book Dethroned: The Downfall of India's Princely States (Hurst, 2024) explains how New Delhi persuaded, encouraged–and browbeat–the princes to accept a future with India. In this interview, John and I talk about the major players in these negotiations, like Viceroy Montbatten and Sardar Patel, how they “encouraged” the princely states to join India, and whether any of these princes could really go it alone. John Zubrzycki has worked in India as a foreign correspondent and diplomat. His other books are The House of Jaipur: The Inside Story of India s Most Glamorous Royal Family (Juggernaut: 2020); and Empire of Enchantment: The Story of Indian Magic (Oxford University Press: 2018), chosen by William Dalrymple as a Book of the Year.

GUEST ON BOARD: We are joined by Priya Mirza, who teaches political science at Zakir Husain Delhi College. Priya is the host of The Longest Constitution podcast, which looks at how the vision of the Constitution and how it affects everyday life! On 12th June 1975, 4 years after the 1971 Indian general elections, incumbent Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was found guilty by the Allahabad High Court of electoral malpractices. The complaint against her was filed by Raj Narain, her opposing candidate in the constituency of Rae Baraeli. The Court convicted her of election fraud, stripped her of her parliamentary seat, unseated her as the Prime Minister, and barred her from holding office for another 6 years. And how did Mrs. Gandhi respond? By locking down the entire country under an “Emergency” for over 2 years. Mrs. Gandhi also followed this up by passing the 39th Amendment to the Constitution, which barred any court in India from challenging the election of any person to Lok Sabha holding the office of Prime Minister. This Amendment was struck down later by the Supreme Court for trying to amend the Basic Structure of the Constitution. So Mrs. Gandhi was basically told a resounding “NO” at least twice by Indian courts.

When one and a half million Indian railway workers went on strike for 20 days in 1974 it brought the country to a halt. Essential food, goods and workers were unable to reach their destinations. Despite this, the general public were largely sympathetic to the strike as they too felt a sense of anger at the government over the economy and allegations of corruption. Claire Bowes has been talking to union leader Subhash Malgi about why the government attempt to prevent the action with mass arrests and harassment backfired and to author Stephen Sherlock about how it became - what was at the time - the biggest strike in history and led to Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's declaration the following year of a national state of emergency.

Tolly Folly, our limited run podcast about Bengali film, anchored by Sujoy, Beth, and Amrita, concludes with this third episode featuring two separate performances by Suchitra Sen in AANDHIi and Uttam Kumar in NAYAK. Aandhi (1975) is counted as one of the most successful films helmed by Gulzar and is frequently lauded for the leading performances by Suchitra and Sanjeev Kumar. The movie was a controversial fictionalized take on the life of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and spoke about the difficulties faced by women with ambition in a patriarchal society.  Nayak (1966) was a rare Uttam collaboration with Satyajit Ray and is a meditation on celebrity. One of the finest films ever made, Nayak remains relevant to this day and features an incredible performance by Uttam. It also co-stars a wonderful Sharmila Tagore among others.  If you liked this run of Tolly Folly, we would love to hear from you.

On 31 October, 1984, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her bodyguards, Satwant Singh and Beant Singh. In the three days that followed, anti-Sikh riots gripped Delhi and other parts of the nation. Sikhs in Delhi and other parts were targeted and attacked by mobs.   Official estimates put the death toll at more than 3,000.    Unofficial estimates place the number much higher. For the ones who survived the riots, life was left in tatters.   This is the story of those who were children when the riots broke out, the ones who survived the attacks, but carry the emotional and mental wounds to this day.   These are their voices. This is the lost generation of 1984.   Reporter & Producer: Tridip Mandal Video Journalist: Abhay Sharma & Shiv Kumar Maurya Editor: Kunal Mehra Host: Vishnu Gopinath

Two martyrs were made in Delhi on October 31, 1984: Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who was shot to death by her bodyguard Beant Singh; and Singh, who was shot to death by other members of the Prime Minister's security force. Both sides of the conflict between the Indian government and the Sikh religion were rallied to action, but there was much more bloodshed to come before they could find peace.

Late actor Dev Anand had co-founded the National Party of India, with other members of the film industry, as a move against the Emergency imposed by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The party, which was later disbanded, was supported by personalities including late actor Pran, Shatrughan Sinha and Sadhana

Around the time of the Emergency, the then Congress Chief Minister of Haryana, Bansi Lal, was asked why hundreds of acres of government land near Delhi were allotted to a young, untested man, who wanted to build a car factory. The Congress symbol in those days was the cow and the calf. The young man was Sanjay Gandhi, son of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

In this week’s NL Hafta, the panel consists of Abhinandan, Manisha and Anand. Revati Laul, a renowned independent journalist and filmmaker joined as a guest.The discussion kicks off with Saifuddin Soz, a senior Congress party leader in Kashmir, who recently launched his book titled, Kashmir: Glimpses of History and the Story of Struggle. Saifuddin Soz had also made a statement earlier which said that Kashmiris want Azadi. Commenting on Saifuddin Soz, Anand says, “As a political leader of a nation state, he should be more careful of what he’s saying.” Manisha says, “I think he’s making those comments more as an author.” She adds, “I think he has to keep in mind that he’s a politician but then he’s also speaking from the point of view of his book.”The discussion moves on to the ‘much-advertised’ 43rd anniversary of the Emergency imposed by former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Manisha thinks that it is a ‘hyperbole’. She says, "But, of course, 2019 (elections)...I guess that’s the one thing that they (BJP) can whip them (Congress) with.” Commenting on a notion that has surfaced, Anand observes, “I think the fiction of undeclared Emergency is rooted in a sense of deprivation among journalists who don’t have anti-establishment tales to tell in their 60s. And those who are already in their 60s, already know that they’re lying.” He adds, “Advertisements by their very nature are exaggerations.”Revati compares the Emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi to the current situation of Indian politics. Abhinandan says, “Human nature is displaying certain levels of servility that were displayed during the Emergency...And I think that is unique whenever you get a strong leader.”The panel discusses the letter written by Vijay Mallya to Prime Minister Narendra Modi which explained how he’s being made a ‘scapegoat’ despite his willingness to settle his dues. Abhinandan says, “I definitely think that he thought he could get away with it and now that he has not, he’s saying I can do all this...You could’ve done it earlier also.”Anand says, “Ignominy has also been earned by the flamboyant lifestyle he had.”Abhinandan asks the panel about the Chief Economic Adviser's role in policy making, in the context of Arvind Subramanian who recently quit from the position. Anand says, “Having a macro picture of how the economy is moving, what adjustment it needs... So it’s a kind of an advisory role...Most of the political heads don’t have that expertise to go into those details, so they help in that.”The panel discusses an Amit Shah-related news story that was pulled down by several media houses. The RTI reply stated, the primary basis of the story, that a huge amount of money was deposited in a bank headed by Amit Shah, post-demonetisation. Abhinandan believes that this circles back to the debate around the ‘Emergency’.Manisha speaks about the coverage of a crime incident in which an Army officer had killed the wife of another officer. She says, “Both ABP and Aaj Tak...ran this headline Do major ek mehbooba... They turned it into these rangeela-type websites.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

"The year 1984 marked widespread bloodshed as the Anti-Sikh riots engulfed the country. After the assassination of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi more than 2000 people were killed in Delhi alone. However, 33 years after the incident, the Supreme Court of India has decided to re-open as much as 186 cases related to the Anti-Sikh violence. The Supreme Court stated that it will set up a Special Investigation Team to look into the cases in which investigations were closed, a news agency reported.  The Supreme Court will also constitute a three-member panel to look into the cases. However, it has asked Centre’s suggestions by today itself for the panel. Reportedly, the panel will be led by a former high court judge.  "
