On 03 December 1971, then-Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi declared a state of emergency in India.The state of emergency was primarily a response to internal political unrest and challenges to the government. During the emergency period (1975-1977), certain civil liberties were suspended, and there was increased government control. The political climate and events leading up to the emergency were complex, involving issues of governance, political opposition, and social unrest.
The Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 did take place during this time, and it was a separate event from the declaration of the state of emergency. The war between India and Pakistan in 1971 ultimately led to the creation of Bangladesh.
