There is an irony to certain portions of hindutva radicals in india.

They resent Muslim and pakistan so much that they want indian to be like pakistan.

Pakistan is a democracy (Yes! 😅) with rule of law but country have a religion and it's islam. Everything happens accordance to islam. Minority have rights to practice their religion but they've to live within islamic regime.

Now some vocal radicals from hindutva speak of same things. They want india to be a hindu rashtra. They want india to have one supreme religion and everyone live under regime of hindutva.

Ironly speaks for itself.

The Case That Shook India: Indira Gandhi vs. Raj Narain (1975)

Indira Gandhi, then Prime Minister, contested the 1971 general elections from Rae Bareli.

Raj Narain, her political opponent (from the opposition Samyukta Socialist Party), alleged she had:

Used government machinery for her campaign

Employed government officials as personal election agents

Abused her position as PM for electoral advantage

The Verdict That Changed History

On June 12, 1975, the Allahabad High Court (Justice Jagmohanlal Sinha) found Indira Gandhi guilty of electoral malpractice.

Punishment:

Her 1971 election declared null and void.

She was disqualified from holding elected office for six years.

This was the first time in independent India that a sitting PM was unseated by a court verdict.

Why This Was a Brave Judicial Stand?

Justice Sinha delivered the verdict despite enormous pressure.

He even refused to allow armed guards in the courtroom to maintain judicial neutrality.

It demonstrated that no one — not even the Prime Minister — is above the law.

🕊️ It remains a symbol of judicial courage and a rare moment when the court stood firm against executive overreach.

🇮🇳 The disqualification of a sitting Prime Minister by a court in a developing democracy like India is not just rare — it’s unprecedented.
