A very well researched and in-depth analysis of a key moment of India’s history.’ (Christophe Jaffrelot, CERI–CNRS Senior Research Fellow, Sciences Po, Paris) ‘This is the single most valuable, engaging, thoughtful and wide-ranging volume available on the Emergency. . . .’ (Pratap Bhanu Mehta, Princeton University) ‘. . . some of our best minds come together to put together an arresting tableau of troubled memories, and curious associations and conflicted lessons learnt. . . .’ (Harish Khare, former press advisor to Manmohan Singh and former editor of The Tribune).
