Well, this will be one dark day that would forever marr India's road to freedom, even if India will attain freedom as a single nation instead of going through the disaster that was Partition.

While your apprehensions about the event is kinda justified, reading the the last paragraph is kinda important for a reason.
They had a strong support base in Punjab. They did not fail to gain support. But... I am saing it in context of Bengal and rest of India.
Well glad to see the updates....but yeah..it is rather ominous
I don't think it would be that bad...but it would probably be bad enough that there could somehow be a justification for an even stricter version of the already draconian Sedition Act ITTL...
Speaking of which, what could be interesting could be Nehru ITTL joining up with the Congress Socialist Party when he does set up the left-wing party he is implied to try and set up in an earlier post.
Well, the Hindutva have been dealt a serious blow. And little of value has been lost.
While the Hindutva and the RSS have been weakened severely, what would be interesting going forward would be the role of the Communist Party of India in this India.
Are you sure Hindutva and RSS has been weakened? Yes, the main conservative party wont be Hindutva groups, but they still are strong. People thought post Godse that RSS wont recover. Look now.
As for Communism, You shall see.
Well, they've been weakened temporarily, so it still technically counts, especially as this gives the government some breathing room to iron out the details on independence and power-sharing. And on that note, considering the Telangana Rebellion, what could be interesting could be the role of the Communist Party's agitation in weakening the rule of the Princely States here.
Thanks for reminding me. I actually forgot about it.
The update after the next one will look into it.
No problem, especially as handling the Telangana Rebellion would be a major issue for the new Indian government to handle as they handle the Princely States issue, so you could have the update on the Telangana Rebellion also look into the broader question of integrating the Princely States into India.
Maybe? But the main problem is that I am doing it chronologically, so needed to cover it in July, when it started, but now I am in December so I will cover it now.
