Abstract

Democracy is the most celebrated political ideology in today's context all over the world. Passing through an asymmetric trajectory, the Indian State has emerged to be the largest democracy in the world. The Indian Constitution, which guarantees a democratic polity and equal rights to its people, also contains some provisions that give vast power to the State machinery. Here, reference could be made to the Emergency Provisions of the Indian Constitution, which empower the State with enormous power that sometimes causes infringement of the rights of its people as well. The study attempts to investigate and scrutinize the role of the Indian state in providing the rights of its people during the imposition of National Emergency in 1975-77
