Nabakrushna Choudhuri - Indira Defeated

Indira Defeated

The Government of India was an object of criticism all over the world. Many world leaders put pressure on Indira Gandhi to withdraw the Emergency Rule. The result was another general election in India. Many leaders were still in jail. The opposition lacked adequate financial resources. The opposition leaders were not able to go to the people. The party in power thought that an Election at this time would be favourable. But just the opposite happened. Many important leaders of the party in power, including Indira Gandhi, were defeated miserably. This was people’s mandate. Nabababu was really happy over this.

Nabababu had not fully recovered, but had kept his habit of reading books and journals. Many intellectuals from abroad were visiting him to discuss about Gandhian philosophy. Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy had come to look him up.
