What I would love to see is a photo like the one with Stalin, Churchill & Roosevelt, but with the leaders of the US & China.
I'd say about 200-300 thousand in Lucknow alone. Maybe slightly less, given that many people had probably already fled the city due to the infighting and bombardment.Aside from the UIS' leaders, how many people died when Lucknow finally ran out of luck and got an instant sunrise?
Radiation from nuclear weapons is already a known fact, you would have Indians using radiological bombs otherwise.How bad is the nuclear fallout? This might be a post all in itself. I imagine the discovery of Radiation fallout from Nukes is going to have a big impact on the public perception of Nuclear Weapons. We could even see a call for the destruction of all weapons when knowledge of the impact on soldiers & civilians who were caught in the fallout.
We are looking at decades of clean up and the loss of thousands of acres of farm-able land in India alone. Radiation from Chernobyl to this day, still requires farmers as far as Scotland to test their cattle for high amounts of radiation. While the fallout will be much smaller than Chernobyl, we could see issues up and down the coasts of Arabia, India, China and the Pacific. The world economies once geared for war are going to have to turn to agriculture to help save the billions of lives at stake now.
This isn't even taking into account the ongoing conflicts that will likely last for years to come.

Lucknow just turned into Nuke-now.
In all seriousness, how long will India suffer from radiation? I won't be surprised if the successor states would refuse to annex the places where the bombs were dropped.
I think the reverse. They might compete for them. Whoever takes one is going to get decades of international aid. By not taking one, you're still going to have to deal with with the massive refugee problem, but with less aid than if you did take the area.
Yeah, it could go that way, too. But I'm pretty sure they would have a hard time convincing their respective citizens to settle on these ground zeroes.
But.. We saw TTL's japan's case. If dissident movements aren't that big..And India probably has its own alternatives (native dissident movements, former Unitarians who decide to collaborate for now) to a government led by a Chinese employee.
Yeah, remember the Vetrivel, anyone?Maybe US can balkanize india?
