India observes 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas' (Constitution Murder Day) annually on June 25. This day commemorates the sacrifices made during the 1975 Emergency period, emphasizing the struggle to uphold democracy and individual freedom. The decision to observe this day aims to honour those who endured persecution and to ensure that such oppressive actions do not recur in India's democratic history. The Emergency, spanning from June 25, 1975, to March 21, 1977, remains a significant chapter in India's political and constitutional history, shaping subsequent governance and citizen rights awareness.
