Republic is not defined by what we see, history decides that how countries are shaped. As India is approaching its 77th Independence day, we thought why not to jump and tell people the story of India.
So we launched a series of episodes, discussing decade wise the events that shaped India.
In this episode we discuss the era of 1960s. As we cannot discuss all the incidents, so in this episode of this series we focus on major events:
Issue of Tibet
Indo-China war 1962
Death of Nehru
Indo-Pak war 1965
Death of Lal Bahadur Shastri
Green revolution
Naxalism in India
Split in congress 1969
