The 1971 election results brought joy across India, but beneath the surface, the situation was dire. The Soviet Union's KGB, having failed to establish their puppet government despite hefty funding from the CBI, shifted strategy. Abandoning the Fox, they turned to Indira Gandhi, marking the beginning of India's colonization by a foreign power.

Indira Gandhi, newly in power, executed grand plans with ruthless efficiency. Suitcases stuffed with money from Syndicate member S.K. Patil flooded the Prime Minister's office, aligning left-leaning and communist leaders funded by the KGB. Among them was Mohan Kumar Mangalam, who had warned in 1964 that the CBI alone couldn't seize control and needed to embed within Congress. By 1971, Mangalam was the Minister of Mines, swiftly nationalizing the coal industry—just the beginning of the KGB's influence.

Indira Gandhi, barely two months into her term, received 2.5 million convertible rubles secretly sent by Moscow through the KGB to fund her political maneuvers. KGB's political liaison, Leonid Shabad, personally ensured the money reached her. The Congress party, backed by secret funding, threw a million rupees behind Indira Gandhi. To bolster her image, the KGB planted numerous articles in Indian newspapers. By 1973, ten Indian newspapers and a press were on the KGB's payroll, manipulating public perception through relentless propaganda.

Between 1970 and 1975, the KGB pumped resources into supporting Indira Gandhi, flooding the media with pro-Gandhi and anti-opposition rhetoric. Their motive was clear: keep their puppet in power. On June 12, 1975, the Allahabad High Court declared Indira Gandhi's 1971 election victory unlawful, banning her from elections for six years. The verdict led to widespread protests and calls for her resignation, mocking her as "Miss Gandhi."

Facing growing unrest and the threat of losing power, Indira Gandhi turned to the Supreme Court, which temporarily restored her position. But protests swelled nationwide. Realizing her grip on power was slipping, Indira Gandhi made a fateful decision. On June 25, 1975, she addressed the nation via radio, dismissing fears and denying a lust for power. Yet that night, she declared a state of emergency, plunging India into darkness.

The Emergency marked the darkest chapter in India's history. The government, elected by the people, throttled public rights. Democracy was brutally murdered as Articles 352 and 356 of the Constitution were invoked, granting Indira Gandhi extraordinary powers. Civil rights vanished, and over 100,000 people, including opposition leaders, were jailed. Voices of dissent were silenced. Leaders like Jayaprakash Narayan, Morarji Desai, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and many others were imprisoned for challenging Gandhi.

The regime's atrocities were hidden, and evidence of open violence was suppressed. The free press was strangled; the media was censored. Within hours, power cuts silenced all Indian newspapers, ensuring the next day's news would be written in silence and darkness.

Indira Gandhi's draconian measures extended beyond the press. She tampered with the Constitution, inserting socialism into its preamble, a move critics saw as a murder of democracy. As India's intellectuals celebrated her visit to Moscow, human rights were trampled at home. The KGB, manipulating from the shadows, had coerced Indira Gandhi into declaring the emergency to ensure she remained in power, turning her into a dictator.

Under the Soviet Union's thumb, India was transformed. The country had become a puppet state, and Indira Gandhi, the puppet, danced to Moscow's tune.
