Let us pay heartfelt tributes to the martyrs of the 13th December 2001 Parliament attack

Let us pay heartfelt tributes to the martyrs of the 13th December 2001 Parliament attack—brave souls whose courage and sacrifice safeguarded the very heart of Indian democracy. On that winter morning, when terrorists assaulted the Parliament complex in an attempt to undermine the nation’s sovereignty, it was the unwavering valor of security personnel that prevented a far greater tragedy.

The heroes from the Delhi Police, the Central Reserve Police Force, and the Parliament Security Service acted with extraordinary presence of mind, confronting grave danger without hesitation. Their actions were not just acts of duty, but acts of profound patriotism. They stood between terror and the elected representatives of the world’s largest democracy, ensuring that the democratic process remained unshaken.

Their sacrifice reminds us that freedom and peace are protected each day by those who serve selflessly, often without recognition. As we remember them, we honor not just their bravery, but the ideals they defended—democracy, unity, and national integrity.

On this solemn day, let us renew our collective commitment to these values. Let us express gratitude to the martyrs and their families, whose loss remains immeasurable. Their legacy continues to inspire India to stand resilient, united, and steadfast against all threats.

1975 Emergency in India - A Grave Mistake!

The Emergency imposed in India from June 25, 1975, to March 21, 1977, is widely regarded as a dark chapter in the country’s democratic history. Declared by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, the Emergency suspended civil liberties, curtailed press freedom, and allowed the government to rule by decree. Although it was constitutionally valid under Article 352, its implementation is now considered a serious misjudgment. The justification offered for the Emergency was the threat to national security and internal disturbance. However, the real trigger was the Allahabad High Court’s verdict declaring Indira Gandhi's 1971 election invalid due to electoral malpractice. Facing political vulnerability, she chose authoritarian control over democratic accountability. During the Emergency, thousands of political opponents were jailed without trial under preventive detention laws. The media was censored, dissent was stifled, and civil society was silenced. Draconian measures like forced steriliz...
