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 1990s. As we cannot discuss all the incidents, so in this episode of this series we focus on major events:
Mandal Commission
Ram Janmabhoomi Movement
LPG 1991
Coming of P. V. Narasimha Rao
Coming of Atal Bihari Vajpayee
India becoming a nuclear state
Kargil war
