#India had a brief period between 1975-1977 when #IndiraGandhi imposed #TheEmergency to rule by decree, allowed elections to be cancelled, and civil liberties to be suspended ➡️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emer

India is now the largest #democracy in the world.

Unfortunately, it is once again teetering on the brink of #authoritarianism, just like most other countries in the world under #reactionary #FarRight #conservative governments
