Republic of India

India is a nation in Southeast Asia. It borders Pakistan to the west, Jammu & Kashmir,Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan and Sikkim to the north, Burma and Bengal to the east and Hyderabad and Mysore to the south. It also borders Portugal through it's colony of Goa.

History
When the United Kingdom withdrew from the Indian subcontinent after its defeat at the hands of the Greater German Reich, it created chaos, with some princely states taking over local government in order to fill in the void left the British. Subhas Chandras Bose, upon his return from the Soviet Union, declared the creation of an independent India, with various groups from Communists to democrats coalescing around the idea. Muslim regions in the west of the country would later do the same, forming the nation of Pakistan. Disputes with Bengali regionalists led to the region declaring independence and with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, led by Vinayak Savarkar, starting a revolt in the south of the country.

Politics
The country is very divided. The Great Indian Famine has caused mass starvation, with bread prices increasing to sky-high levels. This has resulted in the lower classes being agitated, the peasants demand land reform and Hindu refugees arrive in the country every day. There are ongoing revolts both in Bengal and in the South. The instability has led many to gravitate towards the Communist Party of India. The current government is led by Prime Minister Subhas Chandras Bose since the country's independence, who is planning to seek another term in office in India's next election. The current government is planning military operations to take over the remaining Princely states.

Political Leaders
The Republic of India is currently led by Subhas Chandra Bose, leader of the Social Democratic faction of the INC. He aims for a united India which will completely recover from the injustices of the British colonisers. The upcoming election is an important one, the country has to decide, who will lead us through the stormy waters of the future? The 3 options are:-


 * 1) Subhas Chandra Bose
 * 2) Morarji Desai
 * 3) Jayaprakash Narayan

While Bose aims for a United India, Desai believes in the free market while the INC Socialists led by Narayan seek to recreate the Indian way of life. It is unknown who will win this election but the victor will definetly change the fate of India forever.

Economy
The Indian economy is fragile. The famine and increasing bread prices have both taken their toll. The nation is largely agrarian with little to no industrialisation. The country also has a high population.

Military
The Indian armed forces are small. It is made up of the former armed forces of the Raj and is equipped with leftover British weapons. It is currently engaged in operations to put down the Hindu nationalists of the RSS and the Bengali Socialists.
