Detailed Explanation / विस्तृत व्याख्या

Hindi

"The Emergency Diaries – Years That Forged a Leader" प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी द्वारा लिखित पुस्तक है, जो भारत में लागू राष्ट्रीय आपातकाल (Emergency) के दौर से संबंधित है।

भारत में आपातकाल 25 जून 1975 को लागू किया गया था और 21 मार्च 1977 तक प्रभावी रहा। यह स्वतंत्र भारत के इतिहास का सबसे विवादास्पद राजनीतिक काल माना जाता है।

उस समय:

  • प्रधानमंत्री थीं इंदिरा गांधी।
  • राष्ट्रपति थे फ़ख़रुद्दीन अली अहमद।
  • कई मौलिक अधिकारों को निलंबित कर दिया गया था।
  • प्रेस पर सेंसरशिप लागू की गई थी।
  • अनेक विपक्षी नेताओं और कार्यकर्ताओं को गिरफ्तार किया गया था।

नरेंद्र मोदी उस समय राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ (RSS) से जुड़े युवा कार्यकर्ता थे और आपातकाल विरोधी गतिविधियों में सक्रिय रहे। पुस्तक में उनके अनुभवों, संघर्षों और लोकतंत्र की रक्षा के लिए चले आंदोलन का वर्णन किया गया है।
