Arnab With S Gurumurthy | Six Decades Of Indian History | 1960 - Present | Part 1

Arnab With S Gurumurthy | Six Decades Of Indian History | 1960 - Present | Part 1 In first part of one of the most in-depth talk series with Republic Media Network's Editor-in-Chief, renowned thinker and Editor of Tughlaq magazine S Gurumurthy reveals how and why of politics, society starting from the 1960s under Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru to the current era. This is the first part of Arnab's series with Gurumurthy on Politics, Economics and Society. S Gurumurthy delves into the Congress' decision making in the Nehru era and the evolution of the Janata Party. The RSS ideologue reveals how the legendary founder of the Indian Express Group Ramnath Goenka was the first to fight the systemic decay in Congress Party's thinking and how Indira Gandhi veered from being the all-powerful Congress supremo to bordering dictatorship. In this must-watch series with Arnab, S Gurumurthy, who closely worked with Goenka and saw Jai Prakash Narayan from the close quarters, reveals how the Bihar movement evolved, ultimately leading to Indira Gandhi's ouster in the elections post the emergency era. Gurumurthy also reveals how Lal Bahadur Shastri stood for austerity and circumstances of Indira Gandhi's takeover of the Prime Ministership after Kamraj turned down the role. Gurumurthy's series with Arnab also brings out the unheard aspect of firebrand socialist leader George Fernandes and how Atal Bihari Vajpayee's idea of a protest rally against the Indira Gandhi regime became the trigger point. The first chapter of the historical series with Gurumurthy also gives us critical insights into the Allahabad High Court's judgment that called Indira Gandhi's election as a Lok Sabha member - null and void. S. Gurumurthy how Indira Gandhi, believing herself to be invincible after 1971, attempted to reshape the Constitution to suit her authority. He recalls that when the Supreme Court struck down her constitutional amendment in the Kesavananda Bharati case, she retaliated by superseding three senior judges and appointing A.N. Ray as Chief Justice, which he describes as the first major attack on judicial independence. Gurumurthy says this was followed by the push for a “committed judiciary, bureaucracy, and press”—institutions expected to serve the ruling party and, effectively, Indira Gandhi herself. According to him, this concentration of unchecked power fostered systemic corruption within the Congress, triggering the Bihar student movement led by Jayaprakash Narayan, a period he describes as politically formative in his own understanding of Indian democracy.
