Backdrop

San' 75 Pachattar is set in the year 1975, when the then President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed under Article 352(1) of the Constitution, declared a "state of emergency" for "internal disturbance", the Emergency was in effect from 25 June 1975 until its withdrawal on 21 March 1977. The order bestowed upon the then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi the authority to rule by decree, allowing elections to be suspended and civil liberties to be curbed. For much of the Emergency, most of Gandhi's political opponents were imprisoned and the press was censored. Several other atrocities were reported from the time, including a forced mass-sterilisation campaign spearheaded by Sanjay Gandhi, the Prime Minister's son. The Emergency is one of the most controversial periods of independent India's history.[1]
