Lindsay Emmerson [English editor of "The Statesman"] told me a political
joke about the time in 1975 when Indira Gandhi, India's prime minister, had
declared a state of emergency and herded the leaders of her parliamentary
opposition into jail.  "This is true, on my honor.  Someone I know went to a
big bookstore in Delhi during the emergency and asked for a copy of the
Constitution of India.  And the bookseller said, 'I'm sorry sir, but we
don't stock periodicals.'"
