What effect did the Emergency have on civil liberties in India?

Civil liberties became more valued and protected after the Emergency.

Answer: Civil liberties became more valued and protected after the Emergency.
Emergency made everyone more aware of the value of civil liberties, and the Courts and civil liberties organizations became more active in protecting them after the Emergency.
The Emergency at once brought out both the weaknesses and the strengths of India’s democracy. it brought out some ambiguities regarding the Emergency provision in the Constitution that have been rectified since. Now, an ‘internal’ Emergency can be proclaimed only on the grounds of ‘armed rebellion’ and it is necessary that the advice to the President to proclaim Emergency must be given in writing by the Union Cabinet. The Emergency made everyone more aware of the value of civil liberties. The Courts too, have taken an active role after the Emergency in protecting the civil liberties of the individuals. This is a response to the inability of the udiciary to protect civil liberties effectively during the emergency. Many civil liberties organisations came up after this experience.
