This episode of Past & Curious revisits the Turkman Gate demolition, the Emergency-era drive led by Sanjay Gandhi, and the forced evictions that reshaped Delhi’s urban and political memory. From bulldozers rolling through densely populated neighbourhoods to the silence that followed, this is a story of power, planning, and people caught in between.

Why was Turkman Gate targeted?
What role did Sanjay Gandhi play in the demolition drive?
How did the Emergency change the relationship between the State and the citizen forever?

Through archival context, historical reporting, and careful reconstruction, we unpack how past demolitions continue to echo in present-day debates around urban development, governance, and dissent.

Watch till the end to understand why Turkman Gate is not just a location, but a warning from history.
