| 520 | _aThe book The Emergency: A Personal History is journalist Coomi Kapoor's firsthand account of the Indian Emergency (1975–1977), when Prime Minister Indira Gandhi suspended democratic institutions, curtailed civil liberties, and imposed strict press censorship. Drawing on her experiences as a reporter with The Indian Express, Kapoor combines personal memoir with political history, recounting the imprisonment of her husband under the Maintenance of Internal Security Act (MISA), the persecution of political opponents, and the impact of authoritarian rule on ordinary citizens. The book also examines the roles of Indira Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi, opposition leaders, and the media, offering a detailed narrative of one of the most significant periods in modern Indian political history. | ||
