Love in the Time of Emergency presents the tales and travails of affairs of the heart against the backdrop of twenty one months of the Emergency imposed in India in 1975, through the lives of four journalists based in New Delhi; Brijesh, Iqbal, Shanti and Mehar. Through their eyes, we see a panorama of experiences with negotiating press censorship and personal integrity. Through all of this, emotional concerns are not left far behind, as these young people wend their way through the paths of their own hearts, sometimes finding love in unexpected places. Singh melds these elements, press censorship, the Emergency, and love in a layered narrative that is bound to leave you with a smile on your face
