Thread: What are some events in India's history that would be good for an interview?

I need to interview someone about an event in india's history. I need learn things like how the person felt and stuff. What are some events in India's history that occured after 1960 that would be good for an interview. I don't think I can use the Sino-Indian war.

Whatd you think about the Kashmir wars and the founding of Bangladesh would be a good one. The hate between Pakistan and India is enormous.

The conquest of Goa, 1975. Why did India forcibly conquer this Portugese-speaking, mostly Catholic island?

Im from pakistan. say that u would interview the leader who made pakistan because hes the one that lead the Muslims to form pakistan or someone leading the indians

Assassination of Mrs. Gandhi 1984

India winning cricket World Cup 1983

Amritsar Temple siege June 1984

2 biggest conquests of India - the moghuls and the europeans can be root-causes for most of the questions you may still pose.

Why were the portuguese most aggresive in converting Hindus to catholics - much much more than the british. How they threatened the use of force or usurping poor Hindu farm-lands if not agreeing to such conversion. Why such Hindus were not even allowed to keep their Hindu names after conversion.

What happened in Bangladesh? How the 2-nation theory was a sick joke conceived by fair-skin pakistanis in hand with british. Why, despite also being muslims, pakistanis ill-treated bangladeshis like third-grade citizens, if not cattle.
