Thankfully, there were no satellite TV channels while All India Radio and Doordarshan had the monopoly over public broadcast. Members of her ‘kitchen cabinet’ advised her to proclaim Emergency, arrest the Opposition leaders and throw them behind bars. By the time of the verdict, there had been widespread resentment against Indira. Justice Sinha was kind enough to stay his own judgment to enable Indira to appeal in the Supreme Court. On June 12, 1975, Justice Jagmohan Lal Sinha set aside Indira’s election and disqualified her from contesting any election for six years. It was gross violation of the Representation of People’s Act, argued lawyer Shanti Bhushan who appeared for Raj Narain. Being a Government servant, Kapoor was not supposed to do Indira’s political bidding. Raj Narain, an unusual politician, had alleged that Indira had utilised the services of Yashpal Kapoor, her personal secretary, for campaign-related works. What led to the declaration of Emergency and suspension of Constitution was a verdict by the Allahabad Bench of the Lucknow High Court on a petition filed by Raj Narain, the socialist leader who had challenged Indira’s election from Rae Bareli in the 1971 general election. That was the era when the Prime Minister had the audacity to defend corruption in high places by describing it as “a global phenomenon”. The generation that grew up in that period stood silently when human rights, civil rights and freedom of speech and expression were crushed to powder by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, her younger son Sanjay and a cartel of persons who were members of their court. There was a time when the Indian subcontinent was under the spell of dictatorship as well as despotism. The comedy lies in the truth that Krishna and his generation, born in the post-internal Emergency phase, do not know the seriousness of freedom of expression. If there is no freedom of speech or right to dissent, would the media highlight the claim as a major report? What the musician forgot was that his statement reminded one of the term ‘oxymoron’ as his disclosure was poles apart from the reality. When maverick musician TM Krishna (born in 1976) declared in a public function sometime back that there was no freedom of expression or right to speak one’s mind, the media highlighted his speech as if he was disclosing something new.

Nair, who was undergoing professional training in Plymouth, has written in his autobiography ‘With No Ill-Feeling Against Anybody’ that only kids were eligible for sugar and chocolates: “Since there was severe shortage of power, only limited quantity of water could be heated for bathing as the winter was at its peak.” Late MKK Nair, a former bureaucrat, had given first-hand information about England in the aftermath of WWII. The sights were unbearable and the generation that grew up experiencing the economic hardship and poverty became strong critics of any kind of war. There are accounts by authors like Winston Churchill (the former British Prime Minister who had covered the First World War for The Pioneer) about the post-WWII Europe totally devastated. This is a phrase attributed to the great Roman General Julius Caesar and finds mention in De Bello Civili, his war memoirs.Ī major reason for opposition to war, which is common among the Europeans, could be their shocking experiences from the two World Wars in which millions perished and many more were maimed.

The term was popularised by management gurus with sufficient evidence and proof.

In Latin, ‘Ut est rerum omnium magister usus’ means “Experience is the best teacher”. Contrary to claims that the situation in present-day India is worse than in the days of Emergency, press at the time was throttled and dissenters jailed
