The story of 1967 Lok Sabha election: All you need to know



The Lok Sabha election of 1967 was a turning point in the Indian democracy for a plethora of reasons. The 60s so far had been rather tumultuous – the country had fought a war each with China and Pakistan, Jawaharlal Nehru had died paving the way for the rise of Indira Gandhi, the Green Revolution has begun to show its benefits but was still at a nascent stage, the anti-Hindi agitation in Madras began to look ominous, and there were early signs of a threatening Naxal movement.

India eye series win in 3rd ODI against Australia at Ranchi

Mahendra Singh Dhoni's final homecoming forms a poignant subplot of an utterly dominant Indian team's quest for an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match ODI series against Australia on Friday.

There has been a sense of déjà vu every time Dhoni has stepped on to the field in the ongoing series.
