Chapter 455 Bulk
In addition to its huge territory, India also has another characteristic: it has many ethnic groups!
Without Nehru's actions, India would now have 544 ethnic groups. If divided according to ethnic groups, it would represent 544 states!
At that time, Nehru had a high prestige, so he carried out governance actions step by step. First, he strengthened the power of the Congress Party, organized India's first election, and established Congress Party governments at the center and states, so that the orders of the Congress Party's central government could be issued to local governments. Secondly, he used redemption and force to merge the 554 princely states in India, re-divided state boundaries according to ethnic languages, and then began to gradually implement a unified language, so that those small ethnic groups would gradually disappear naturally.
After that, there will be land reform.
If all Nehru's plans had succeeded, centralizing power, internationalizing the military, redistributing the means of production, and restoring national pride, India would have become a powerful nation.
Unfortunately, in order to achieve this step, Nehru chose the wrong war, and the result was the loss of the country's destiny.
Naturally, many measures cannot be implemented.
There are still many races in India. The central government of India cannot control so many. There are many states with hatred!
Sikhs in Punjab, several northeastern states, independence movement in Kashmir, linguistic states in the south.
The Sikhs in Punjab are the familiar people whose men wear big turbans and have big beards. The Sikhs have no identity with India at all. When India and Pakistan were partitioned in 1947, the Sikhs were very concerned about being divided into two parts. It's dissatisfaction.
But starting in the 1960s, the Sikhs' voice for independence has increased day by day. The reason is naturally that the Indian central government has been frantically plundering them and purchasing large amounts of local grain at low prices. Punjab, where the Sikhs live, was originally rich in food. However, due to the looting by the Indian central government, it also caused famine among the Sikhs. This atrocity caused widespread dissatisfaction among the Sikhs.
The Indian army's attack on the Sikh temple in 1984 only added fuel to the fire.
You must know that the Indian Iron Lady made a promise to the Sikhs in order to win votes in the election, saying that she would allow them autonomy when she came to power. However, she went back on her word, and the contradiction between the two sides became more and more serious, leading to the escalation of armed conflicts between the two sides.
The Indian Iron Lady ordered heavy troops to conquer the Golden Temple, the holy land of the Sikhs. In the end, the Sikhs shot and killed the Indian Iron Lady for their holy land.
Now the seeds of hatred are spreading, taking root and sprouting, and the powder keg is about to be ignited.
The second force is the northeastern region of India, which is connected to the mainland of India by a very narrow channel. This region has nothing to do with India since ancient times. It is ethnically Mongolian. The ancestors first migrated from the Yellow River Basin. , and later mixed with the southwest ethnic minorities. Historically, this area has been a vassal state of the Kingdom of Myanmar. Later, the British defeated Burma and ceded it to India. In order to facilitate management, they were included in India.
People in this area never consider themselves Indian.
At first, Nehru imitated the British's procrastination trick, saying that if you sign the agreement, you can be autonomous. Then the northeastern region of India held a referendum in 1951. Nehru immediately turned his back upon seeing it, tore up the agreement, dispatched troops, and arrested those leader.
India not only allows local residents to immigrate to Northeast India to enrich the area, but the conflicts between immigrants and local people continue to escalate. Conflicts over religion, drinking water and land have led to constant vendettas between immigrants and native people. Thousands of people die in conflicts every year. This area is also the area with the most frequent vendetta violence in India.
Not only do vendettas often occur in the area, but the Indian central government also treats the northeastern region of India as second-class residents. It frantically plunders local minerals but stingily invests in local construction, which further reinforces the dissatisfaction in the northeastern region.
When the Sikkim and Bhutanese guerrillas occupied key areas in the corridor, they split it into two. The entire northeastern region of India immediately experienced an earth-shaking situation. In less than two months, all the loyal Indian troops were killed. Now the Independent Democratic Alliance has mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops.
Not to mention the Kashmir region, India has stationed heavy troops in the Indian-controlled areas all year round, including 500,000 troops and 500,000 police officers to maintain local order. In Kashmir, the military and police are the only ones who are belittled. As long as there is friction between India and Pakistan, military control and curfew will be implemented immediately. Such measures strictly limit the local economic development and lead to widespread unemployment in Kashmir. It has no impact on India. Sense of identity.
As for the language states in South India, this is about the characteristics of India. India has always been divided into South India and North India. For example, the core area of India, the Ganges River Basin, belongs to North India, such as the Mauryan Dynasty, Kushan Dynasty, Gupta Dynasty, The Harsha Empire, the Delhi Sultanate, and the Mughal Dynasty all only controlled northern India. South India was dominated by the Deccan Plateau and was independent for most of its history.
This situation of separation between north and south has continued, causing people in South India to still not identify with their own Indians.
This is the hidden danger of bulk packaging. Normally, it is just so-so, but once something happens, it will cause internal and external troubles to break out at the same time, which will kill people.
At this moment, here in Punjab, the powder keg is about to explode.
The leaders of democratic liberals are meeting and they will be armed for independence.
In addition to the 20,000 troops they have developed, they also have a 30,000 Sikh army stationed in Punjab, which means a total of 50,000 troops.
Although the power gap is still very large, they are very determined and believe that they will be able to realize their wishes and realize the dream of the Sikhs to establish an independent country.
On the wall, there is a military map, and military deployment is being carried out.
Capturing military strongholds includes controlling military camps, controlling transportation hubs, controlling major highlands, controlling communications, etc.
As for whether doing so will lead to the complete collapse of the Indian-controlled area of Kashmir, what does it have to do with the Sikhs!
They just want to gain national liberation and independently establish a country belonging to them, the Sikhs.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the efforts and sacrifices of our ancestors, our years of hard work, will finally be realized in our hands, and the dawn of victory has appeared!" A Sikh man about fifty years old said in a deep voice. He is the leader of the Sikhs and has great prestige among the Sikhs.
He said in a deep voice: "If a nation wants to be independent, it must go through fighting! Brave Sikhs, fight for our country!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" Other Sikhs shouted one after another.
The Sikhs are an extremely martial nation. They have their own beliefs and religions, and they are unwavering in their faith in Sikhism.
They want to establish Khalistan!
Their Khalistan will cover parts of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and other states. They want to establish a "pure land"!
