In December 23 of 1912, members of the Anushilan Samiti political organization, that fought for the independence of India, tried to murder Lord Hardinge, then Viceroy of India, throwing a bomb on his Howdah during a public procession. Lord Hardinge escaped only with flesh wounds. Afterwards, some of the involved in the conspiracy were killed, but there was no larger political impact (at least that I could find).
So, what could have happened had Lord Hardinge died? Could we see a larger nationalist mobilization, and/or a harsher colonial administration?
