1963-69

1961-65

1961-67

1962-68

Let’s break it down:

- Article 352 talks about declaring a National Emergency in India because of war, external aggression, or armed rebellion.

- The very first time India declared a National Emergency was in 1962, after the Chinese attack—so, during the Sino-Indian war.

- This lasted until 1968.

- Now, let’s check out the options:

- Option 1: 1963-69 – That’s close, but the emergency started in 1962, not 1963.

- Option 2: 1961-65 – Again, not quite. It was 1962, and it lasted till 1968, not 1965.

- Option 3: 1961-67 – Off by a bit with both starts and ends.

- Option 4: 1962-68 – This nails the timeline. First National Emergency in India ran from 1962 to 1968, triggered by the war with China.
