Indians, never forget June 25, 1975; a dark day in India’s history on which Indira Gandhi imposed #Emergency which lasted for a period of 21 month

The main target of Indira was not the political parties & their leaders but RSS. #IndiaDeservesToKnow
1/5

Indira believed that it was the RSS that provided all the logistic support to the movement launched by JP in Bihar & Gujarat.

Therefore, even before #Emergency was declared, she was planning to ban it.

Soon after the #Emergency was declared, large number of RSS leaders and cadres were arrested. The jails of the country were flooded with RSS swayamsevaks.

The number of RSS swayamsevaks detained under MISA was 23,015 including 22938 male and 77 female activists.

The #RSS defied the ban and offered satyagraha.

It was a great irony that those who claimed their inheritance from Gandhi and his values, openly defiled them while the RSS that was accused of violence successfully adhered to the Gandhian path.
4/5

The number of RSS activists arrested for offering satyagraha  during #Emergency was 44965 while only 9655 people of other parties offered satyagraha.

This important part of our history was not included in our textbooks for obvious reasons. #IndiaDeservesToKnow
