The Law that Ended Democracy | Varsha Ma'am

In this video, we uncover the dark history behind Emergency Provisions - a law that was meant to protect democracy, but once came dangerously close to destroying it.
👉 Learn how India’s Constitution borrowed ideas from the Weimar Constitution (Germany), whose Article 48 allowed Hitler to rise as a dictator.
👉 Understand how India’s framers modified it into Article 352, taking precautions so that no one could misuse it.
👉 Yet, see how Indira Gandhi’s 1975 Emergency proved that even the strongest Constitution can bend under political power.
👉 Finally, discover how India restored democracy through the 44th Constitutional Amendment, ensuring that “The Law That Killed Democracy” could never return again.
This video simplifies complex constitutional ideas for everyone — from Aspirants to students and curious citizens - connecting world history, constitutional law, and political philosophy.
