The foremost beneficiary of the Emergency was the Hindu right. The RSS’s participation in the JP movement as well as the civil disobedience against the government during the Emergency gave it – notwithstanding some craven letters by its supremo to the prime minister – a legitimacy that it had hitherto lacked. The mobilisation of RSS cadres during this period also provided the template for the populist Hindutva mobilisations of the late ’80s and the early ’90s. The Jana Sangh too got its first taste of national power, if in a cacophonic coalition, following Indira Gandhi’s ouster in 1977. What’s more, when Mrs. Gandhi returned to power three years later, she began appropriating elements of Hindu majoritarian politics.

The Emergency, in short, fundamentally reshaped the landscape of Indian politics. And its historical consequences are still unfolding.
