I was 10 years old then. I didnt know why she was arrested. All I knew she was a 'big' leader. I was shocked when I heared such a 'great' leader was arrested. But I was surprised to see my father smile when he heard the radio news.<BR/>I asked him why he was smiling. He then explained about Emergency and showed a booklet on the torture methods used by Indira. I think the booklet was by India Today.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299168587920941642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289342.post-1119872723138231172005-06-27T17:15:00.000+05:302005-06-27T17:15:00.000+05:30The Rajan case is a sad reminder of the atrocities...The Rajan case is a sad reminder of the atrocities that the police and the politicians commit and also of what they can get away withPraveenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314434314476752992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289342.post-1119768936464694822005-06-26T12:25:00.000+05:302005-06-26T12:25:00.000+05:30hey this is quite uncanny. i wrote about the rajan...hey this is quite uncanny. i wrote about the rajan case yesterday and one of my thoughts was this "During emergency, trains ran on time, governent service was efficient, civil servants were afraid to strike but personal liberty, "due proces" and fundamental human rights were trampled upon. In the quest for achieving the former nobody should have to give up the latter."<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, and India has not forgotten (and hopefully will never) emergency.Matter of Choicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13856796561629927068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289342.post-1119762140390568392005-06-26T10:32:00.000+05:302005-06-26T10:32:00.000+05:30Anish too has written about this in his latest pos...Anish too has written about this in his latest post and it is very sad commentary indeed of a brutal era.silverinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474136215458639419noreply@blogger.com
