NEW DELHI: The Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts , under the Union ministry of culture, has launched a yearlong programme to sensitise the younger generation to the loss of civil liberties and national resilience. The agenda commemorates 50 years since the Emergency, imposed by then PM Indira Gandhi on June 25, 1975.
The nationwide exhibitions begin in Delhi on Wednesday. The displays will present documented evidence and visual narratives from the turbulent period that tested India's democratic foundations . The physical exhibition will be inaugurated at Ambedkar International Centre on June 26 and later, mobile exhibition units will visit various parts of the city.
The exhibition brings together not only memories and lived experiences, but also pages from rare publications and books on the Emergency. It weaves narratives of "suffering and resistance from prisons across the country".
