Forty three years have passed since Smt Indira Gandhi informed the nation in the morning of June 26, 1975 that “The President has proclaimed an Emergency. This is nothing to panic about.” However, what followed in the next 21 months was a story of vengeance against the political opposition, curtailing of freedom and rights, atrocities by design, targeting by will and imposition of one-leader’s will! It is significant to understand that a history of events like Emergency which came as ruination of democracy cannot be told only through the political leaders. We, the people, have to take the centre-stage in the narrative! The present generation must not be fooled by those who compare a passage of time to Emergency. What really was Emergency and who were those who struggled hard to safeguard democracy for the future generations? The question can only be answered by digging out those facts and names which have been brushed aside by those forces that proclaimed and supported Emergency! Jai Prakash Narayan as the leader and RSS as “We, the people”, stood between the dictatorship and democracy
ORGANISER, one of the oldest and most widely circulated weeklies from the capital, first hit the stands in 1947, a few weeks before Partition, Edited and enriched by eminent personalities like A.R. Nair, K.R. Malkani, L.K. Advani, V.P. Bhatia, Seshadri Chari, R. Balashanker and now Prafulla Ketkar (Email: editor.organiser@bpdl.in) to name but a few, ORGANISER has come to believe that resistance to tyranny is obeisance to God.
REPEATED attempts to muffle its voice and the motivated opposition to it by some powers did not succeed..
GURUJI Golwalkar (the second Sarsanghchalak of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) once said: "For clear, straightforward, impartial views on subjects of national and international importance and for imbibing unadulterated patriotism, it is useful to read ORGANISER. It will fulfil the expectations for correct guidance in all current affairs.
A strong bond of commitment has continued to contribute to the growth and popularity of ORGANISER on the part of the right thinking public, carving out a niche for itself in national life.
NOT a small number of thinkers, writers, opinion-makers, legislators, members of both the Houses of Parliament, editors of dailies and other periodicals with a countrywide circulation are regular readers of ORGANISER.
IT is not surprising that the ORGANISER is often quoted in Parliament, a host of national journals and is widely read in UK, USA, Canada, and 54 other countries of the world. Eagerly awaited by the young and the old alike every Sunday, ORGANISER has become staple reading for them. The readership of ORGANISER comprises students, teachers, lawyers, doctors, chartered accountants, company executives businessmen and other enlightened sections of the population. Our commitment to truthful and unbiased reporting is appreciated by our friends and foes alike.
SERVICE to the Motherland and a sense of dedication to the nation coupled with true secularism is the hallmark of ORGANISER.
EDUCATIVE, informative, enlightening and yet entertaining, ORGANISER is rated as one of the best English weeklies in the country. The kaleidoscopic changes in all fields are faithfully reported in national interest.
