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 1980s. As we cannot discuss all the incidents, so in this episode of this series we focus on major events:
INC coming back to power
India winning cricket world cup
Khalistan movement & Operation Bluestar
Assassination of Indira Gandhi
Coming of Rajiv Gandhi
Shah Bano case
