Having come into possession of a few invaluable sources, I've decided to do an Indian political TL and would like some Board input as to which it will be.

Hail Indira: Indira Gandhi decides to heed RAW's advice and transfers her Sikh bodyguards to another posting. The Lok Sabha is dissolved in January 1985, with another Congress landslide and Indira steps down by the end of the year in Rajiv's favor.

Corporatist Contagion: Sanjay Gandhi doesn't crash his Pitts S-2 in 1980, and as per OTL his mother is assassinated in 1984.

This Son Also Rises: A more successful Rajiv Gandhi premiership, focused on long-term objectives rather than economic U-turns and fundie-appeasement.

End of the Beginning: Rajiv Gandhi is not assassinated in 1991, Congress returns with a slim majority government. Objectives: national unity, economic liberalization, and a more federal union.
