This timeline is for the fanfiction, "Summoning India", which is currently being written. It does not describe what is going to happen, but what happened before the teleportation event. This would help give anyone a brief understanding of this Alternate India from 2000, so that no one gets confused with the IRL one.
And yes, I know this is like a bio chapter but hey, I don't want people coming to me and being like, "Hey India had Su-30MK in the year 2000, not the F-16! And why is India using the M113 and not the BMP-1/2!!!"

Also sorry for any mistakes, I am new to Reddit and still figuring out myself.
Time line starts from here.
1947- After 200 years under British rule, British India gained its Independence. As per the Indian Independence Act passed in the Westminster Parliament, the British Raj was partitioned into two separate independent nations, Secular Dominion of India under the elected Prime Minister Vallabhai Patel and Muslim dominated Dominion of Pakistan.
(Change of leadership - Vallabhai Patel was a man of action and known for his support for his armed forces and a strong united nation, both internal and external power projection. Thus Nehru becoming his deputy here instead )
1947/48- First Indo-Pak War. Both nations were still suffering from the communal violence that had ensued following the partition when an armed conflict arose on the question of who will take the Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir. The war began with a surprise Pakistan sponsored raider attack, overwhelming the State forces.
The ruler of the state, King Hari Singh signed the instrument of accession, which allowed the Indian Army to move in and fight off the raiders. Consequently, regular Pakistani Armed Forces entered combat and, after a year of intense fighting, the United Nations brokered a ceasefire. They left Pakistan with a third of Kashmir and India the rest.
[The Point of Divergence]
August 1950- India answers the call to arms by the United Nations and sends 6 Battalions (4200 soldiers) of the 1st Gorkha Rifles and an Army Medical unit 60th Parachute Field Ambulance to assist the Republic of Korea (South Koreans) in the Korean war. This act puts India to be seen in a better light by the United States and its allies. Indian troops would go on to fight commendably in the war, gaining widespread recognitio

In our earlier PostΒ on Misereor, we studied the nature of funds from the Catholic Church of Germany, targeted towards developmental activities.
We discussed the nature of βChurch Taxβ in Germany, which makes the funding from Misereor different from βdonationsβ arising purely from private contributions.
Similarly, the German State also works with the Protestant denominations. The secular vehicle for such funding is Bread For the World (BfW).
In this article, we pick out major beneficiaries of BfWβs funding and try to present a picture of the activities they are involved in. All this information shared here is on the basis of FC4/FC6 returns available in the Government of Indiaβs Ministry of Home Affairsβ website.
What is BfW and what does it do?
Bread for the World βisΒ the globally active development and relief agency of the Protestant Churches in Germanyβ. In its website, it says βKey issues of our work are food security, the promotion of health and education, the access to water, the strengthening of democracy, respecting human rights, keeping peace and the integrity of creation.β It adds βBread for the World considers itself part of the global Christian Community.β
Since 1962, the Catholic and the Protestant Church Development Services, i.e., Misereor and Bread for the World respectively are funded by the German Government. This funding is raised by taxes levied upon all registered churchgoers in Germany and collected and distributed by the German Federal Ministry for Development.
BfW is the organization that has been set up, and it routes this funding for development activities that are in line with the Protestant Churchβs goals and objectives across the world.
There is a Bread for the World office in Washington DC, USA as well. This Post does not cover its work in India and only focuses on the work carried out by Bread for the World-Germany.
There was another organization called Evangelischer Entwicklungsdienst, which has since been merged with BfW (August 2012). **BfW is identi
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
