Team P3 curates a list of recommended reads that take you through the Indian History Timeline in the 1970s.

The 1970s in India was a pivotal decade marked by significant political, economic, and cultural shifts. On the one hand, the banks were nationalized and a state of emergency was declared by Indira Gandhi, state-led development was encouraged, giving birth to the Green Revolution.

The women’s liberation movement gained momentum, while regional identity also took root. The era was replete with social movements, Naxalite activism, and other challenges, playing an important role in India’s trajectory for years to come.
