June 25th always remembered for two reasons in Indian History

There was lot of importance for June 25th date in Indian History. Two incidents were happened on June 25th in different years but there is huge impact on India in further years. 

1. Declaring National Emergency and 2. Winning the Prudential World Cup. Leaders of the two incidents are Indira Gandhi and Kapil Dev. National Emergency was declared in India on June 25th, 1975 which lasts for 21 months that spoil the reputation of Indira. Opposition lashed out Congress even now for Emergency. Under the leadership of Kapildev, India won 1983 World Cup final against might West Indies on June 25th. Popularity and craze for Cricket increased in India among the youth after 1983 World Cup.   

In India, "The Emergency" refers to a 21 month period from 1975 to 1977 when Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had a state of emergency declared across the country. Officially issued by President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed under Article 352 of the Constitution because of the prevailing "internal disturbance", the Emergency was in effect from 25 June 1975 until its withdrawal on 21 March 1977. For much of the Emergency, most of Indira Gandhi's political opponents were imprisoned and the press was censored. Several other human rights violations were reported from the time, including a forced mass-sterilization campaign spearheaded by Sanjay Gandhi, the Prime Minister's son. The Emergency is one of the most controversial periods of independent India's history.

The 1983 Cricket World Cup (officially the Prudential Cup '83) was the 3rd edition of the Cricket World Cup tournament. It was held from 9 to 25 June 1983 in England and Wales and was won by India. Kapil Devils outplayed Clive Lloyd team and won the World Cup. People have remembered 1983 WC victory even India won 2011 WC edition. The impact of 1983 WC puts on youth and Indian cricket. Taking the inspiration of 1983 WC victory, many have emerged as cricketers.
