Why was the decade of 1960 known as ‘Dangerous Decade’? |
|
Answer» The decade of 1960 is known as ‘Dangerous Decade’ because India had lost a major War with China. Subsequently, Jawaharlal Nehru passed away and there was a fear of failing democratic succession within India. Lal Bahadur Shastri became Prime Minister and had to face a War with Pakistan and grim economic crisis. Subsequently, Lal Bahadur Shastri passed away and Indira Gandhi became the Prime Minister. The political uncertainty and economic crisis led to this decade being called a ‘Dangerous Decade’. |
