Future generations must know Emergency's dark deeds: Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has lauded NCERT's decision to include the Emergency period in Class IX textbooks. This move aims to educate future generations about the "dark deeds" of that era, ensuring such events are not repeated. The new Social Science textbook highlights the suspension of fundamental rights and press censorship during 1975-77, alongside the role of Jayaprakash Narayan and the subsequent strengthening of Indian democracy.
