Others I can think are Ramanath Goenka and Arun Shourie who ran Indian Express despite harrassment from govt agencies. I believe they even opposed the censorship and ran some blank pages/sections of as mark of protest against censorship. Now IE's run by some bald beady eyed stooge, sad.
<b>Ambika Soni</b> listed by Mudy seemed to know which side of the bread was buttered and was in hit herself. Few weeks ago I had read of how <b>Prathiba Patil</b> (our current President for those who might not know) breaking ranks with her own mentor Y B Chavan and supported Emergency. She even went as far as advocating sterlization for mentally handicapped - or something along the lines (details should be in the Presidential elections thread).
Another name that comes to mind is V C Shukla who was Sanjay's man-friday at that time.
Where are all these people now?
Might not be a bad idea of listing the heros and villians of the Emergency.
