This, I believe is an article with a huge potential. Various clauses of emergency (including Article 356) have had profound effects on Indian political history. I shall continue working on this article when time permits. Request participation from interested and knowledgeable wikipedians. Chancemill 16:47, Jul 6, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Dates ?

When was the law(s) voted? As other Emergency laws, it should precise this and add a category Category 1984 in law (for example...) Lapaz 08:32, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1965 emergency?

Was there a separate formal declaration of national emergency in 1965? The article includes three declarations in the numbered list but four in the paragraph just below, with the Second Kashmir War falling during the window when the emergency from the war with China was still active. I've looked through the New York Times of the period (admittedly not the best source for Indian politics) and haven't found references to a new declaration, although it is clear that emergency protocols were in place at the time.
