Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Codified in Part XVIII (Articles 352–360), these provisions empower the Union to meet extraordinary situations. National Emergency (Article 352) addresses war, external aggression, or armed rebellion; President’s Rule (Article 356) arises from failure of constitutional machinery in states; and Financial Emergency (Article 360) counters financial instability. Under National Emergency, fundamental freedoms may be curtailed, and legislative powers concentrate in the center. President’s Rule dissolves or suspends state governance, raising concerns of misuse. The 44th Amendment limited their scope, mandating stricter parliamentary oversight. Students must grasp how these measures safeguard unity but also risk central overreach if misapplied.
