25 June is observed in India as “Samvidhan Hatya Diwas” (Constitution Murder Day) to mark the imposition of the Emergency in 1975. On this day, the then government suspended civil liberties, curtailed press freedom, and arrested several political opponents, which is widely seen as a dark chapter in India’s democratic history. The observance serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting constitutional values, democratic institutions, and individual freedoms. It is intended to raise awareness among citizens, especially the younger generation, about safeguarding democracy and ensuring that such a situation is never repeated.
