Republic is not defined by what we see, history decides that how countries are shaped. As India is approaching its 77th Independence day, we thought why not to jump and tell people the story of India.
So we launched a series of episodes, discussing decade wise the events that shaped India.
In this episode we discuss the era of 1970s. As we cannot discuss all the incidents, so in this episode of this series we focus on major events:
Elections of 1971
Bangladesh Liberation war
Basic Structure Doctrine
Chipko Movement
Emergency 1975
Formation of Government by Janta party
