Somewhat like this: April 1, 1953: The Jinnah Government falls after the spectacular failure of the Pakistan Autonomy Bill. Parliamentary elections are scheduled for July 1953. Nehru becomes the head of an interim government. April 3, 1953: Anti-Muslim riots break out in Delhi, Bombay, Madras and other major Indian cities. Thousands of civilians are dead, hundreds severely injured. April 6, 1953: "Counter-riots" against Hindus occur in Muslim-majority areas across India. Even where police and the Army are willing to stop rioters, they are completely overwhelmed. April 7, 1953: A Hindu extremist shoots former Prime Minister Gandhi. While still living, he is in a terminal coma. April 8, 1953: Rioting spreads to many smaller cities in response to the attempted assassination of Gandhi. Christian populations begin to be included as targets, especially in "Bleeding Goa," only recently taken from the Portuguese. April 15, 1953: Muslim League MPs, meeting in Karachi, entertain a motion on whether or not to secede Pakistan as an independent Commonwealth Realm. In the same meeting, Mujibur Rahman storms out after a debate on whether to record the proceedings in Bengali as well as Urdu. Last edited by Francisco Cojuanco; July 3rd, 2010 at 09:56 PM.. |

I just sowed the seeds for at least the two Pakistans, and maybe several other independent states.

Meh.
November 30, 1947: The UN General Assembly approves a Resolution calling for a Palestinian partition. After some debate and politicking, it is accepted by both Arabs and Jews. June 14, 1948: The British Mandate of Palestine ends, and the State of Israel and Republic of Palestine formally come into existence. September 15, 1947: After extensive deliberation, the Republic of Grand India is created, holding the whole of the former Raj save Burma (under a transitional government that would become independant come January) and Ceylon (likewise). The country gets off to a good start, with Ghandi as PM and Jinnah given a high post, but its still quite troubled... March-June 1952: King Farouk of Egypt crushes a total of five coup attempts by various members of the armed forces and beurocracy. The regime is becoming nastier and nastier...

To be fair (to myself. yes.), my deaths (Nasser and Sadat) were probably an "accident" rather than an accident.

<As a joke> Meanwhile in Detroit, Henry Ford II tents his fingers and smirks. "Good... Good... Soon my plan will be complete and I can rule the world" as he marks off Stalin from a list of "obstacles in my path to World Domination". He snaps his fingers "Of Course!" and writes down General Patton |
