&lt;em&gt;There are many parallels but also important differences between the current protests and the JP movement of the 70s, says this eminent historian&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A historian of modern India, Gyan Prakash is the Dayton-Stockton Professor of History at Princeton University and author of the 2018 book Emergency Chronicles: Indira Gandhi and Democracy&amp;rsquo;s Turning Point. He compares the current situation in the country to the turmoil of the 70s. Excerpts:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;* How would you compare the current debates in India regarding state power, civil liberties and human rights with the situation in the early 70s?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There are many parallels and there are important differences too. The Emergency, although an exceptional period, was also in continuation of many of the laws that already existed, including preventive detention. The Indian state already had extraordinary powers that Indira Gandhi used. In a way, the Emergency was a sign of weakness. That was the only way she could stay in power. What is different today is that the present government can use those laws from a position of strength. It is not a position of weakness. The second difference is the social force on the ground. Though Indira Gandhi had the Youth Congress, it was not a strong social force. The present government has a substantial social force that acts in coordination with it. What happened at JNU is an example. You have people from the political organisation working with the police, which was not the case with the Emergency. &lt;br /&gt;

He compares the current situation in the country to the turmoil of the 70s. Excerpts:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;* How would you compare the current debates in India regarding state power, civil liberties and human rights with the situation in the early 70s?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many parallels and there are important differences too. The Emergency, although an exceptional period, was also in continuation of many of the laws that already existed, including preventive detention. The Indian state already had extraordinary powers that Indira Gandhi used. In a way, the Emergency was a sign of weakness. That was the only way she could stay in power. What is different today is that the present government can use those laws from a position of strength. It is not a position of weakness. The second difference is the social force on the ground. Though Indira Gandhi had the Youth Congress, it was not a strong social force. The present government has a substantial social force that acts in coordination with it. What happened at JNU is an example. You have people from the political organisation working with the police, which was not the case with the Emergency. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Hindu, 14 February, 2020, please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thehindu.com/society/social-roots-of-the-current-protest-stronger-than-jp-movement-says-gyan-prakash/article30819984.ece?fbclid=IwAR1uWJtivTCfv7CqZhIQSpR1i88-7qBcCnvD0TbhxCTE626d60JPl07xaDA&quot; title=&quot;https://www.thehindu.com/society/social-roots-of-the-current-protest-stronger-than-jp-movement-says-gyan-prakash/article30819984.ece?fbclid=IwAR1uWJtivTCfv7CqZhIQSpR1i88-7qBcCnvD0TbhxCTE626d60JPl07xaDA&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Image Courtesy: The Hindu/ R Rajesh&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;
