Summary
This issue of SWARAJ, No. 16, brings together commentary and reproduced newspaper material on civil liberties, the Emergency, press freedom, and political opposition in India. Leslie Murphy’s “Fighting!” reports continuing resistance to the government’s policies; Jayaprakash Narayan’s letter to The Times condemns the Emergency and the suspension of constitutional freedoms; and Jonathan Power’s essay examines India’s political vitality through a critical discussion of Indira Gandhi’s leadership, population control, and the condition of democratic institutions. The issue also reproduces reports alleging torture of political prisoners, describes the Oxford Action Group’s campaign for restoration of civil liberties, and discusses censorship surrounding a biography of Mahatma Gandhi.
