Gone Fishin'
For those of you who may not be aware, in the famous Civilization series of computer games, the first game included a glitch that the Indian Civilization, as led by Mohandas Gandhi, is a warmongering civilization that gleefully wields nuclear weaponry, due to a bug in the code.
The Challenge I lay before you, AlternateHistory.com, is to somehow, without the use of an ASB, reenact this in an ATL: an India with Gandhi alive and in some way leading the nation, and using a nuclear weapon in anger.
Obviously, for best results you'll need to keep Gandhi alive past 1948, have the Indian nuclear program develop weapons early enough for Gandhi to be alive for it (as opposed to 1974; Nehru was mentioning the prospect of an Indian bomb as early as 1946, though), and then have them use it on someone (Pakistan seems the most obvious possibility, but there's always an earlier conflict with China...).
Have at!
