30. Post War

1952, India

India won the war with China and finally Nepal and Bhutan are coming around Integrating and becoming a part of India. The talks are already underway and will be confirmed in a few months. And finally India is the third atomic country of the world. Some european countries like Britain and France tried to cause problems but were silenced immediately after threatening with sanctions again.

Now even US and USSR are inviting India to be a part of UNSC. We already have Britain and France in our pocket, USSR wouldn't have any problems against us joining UNSC after our deal. So this time we will actually get the seat. A permanent seat in UNSC and being the founder of UAO makes India one of the greatest if not the greatest geopolitical power in the world and a contender for greatest geopolitical power in Asia with USSR.

This war benefited India a lot. We got a natural defence against China as Tibet with its five mountain ranges in East, Balochistan in West and Himalayas in North and sorrounded by Ocean in South in which we are currently the strongest country and will remain so if I have any say in it. So we are well defended on all sides.

This war also showed our military power to the world. Now the world know that India has the biggest economy in Asia and biggest military in the world which is well trained, well armed and experienced from 2 world wars and now is a nuclear power, so not to mess with us.

After this we finally conducted an election for President which have been delayed till now and taking inspiration APJ Abdul Kalam I proposed Vikram Sarabhai as BSS' candidate for the position to promote science as Vikram Sarabhai agreed to become head of ISRO because he was slightly disturbed by the distruction possible by these war heads and don't want to be a part of it anymore.

And soon the elections were held for the post of president and results were as expected. Vikram Sarabhai became the first president of India. He became an inspiration for many children that you can reach high position in the nation through science as well.

While China have to pay huge war reparation which it couldn't pay right now so we made it a loan on them with a 8 % interest per annum. But we know China won't take this so called insult on them lying down and will try something. That's why I have ordered our forces to be ready and to specially focus on naxalism.

Using the excuse of this war we completely blocked China from becoming a part of UAO till Mao is in government. KMT of Taiwan was the first to support this decision after they joined the UAO. We also put severe sanction on China and blocked it's trade through Indian Ocean from Malacca strait.

This move harmed Chinese economy severely from which they will face severe difficulty from emerging as this time India has took over the job of being the production hub of world. Only those company which we have banned from India because of polluting water, throwing untreated garbage or selling harmfull products will actually think of going to China.

With this India has almost doubled its area from what it was in my world and second largest country on population basis and will reach first in a few years. I also started instigating people of China occupied territories to rebel for a independent country from behind the scenes. Now China will be busy in dealing with these rebellion and trying to stablize their economy till the next decade.

We also entered in talks with Turkey and Iran for a railway route passing from their countries to Mediterranean sea as an alternative route for our exports just in case seuz canal was blocked for us by european countries who thinks that world owe them something for existing.

USA helped a lot in these negotiation and even agreed to fund half of it along with USSR and the rest being split between India,Iran and Turkey as many American companies have set up factories in India and if India is blocked from seuz canal than it will affect them as much and because of USSR will also be affected if Indian exports are blocked after our deal to let it trade through our ports.

USSR even entered into negotiation with Iran to extend this rail network towards Caspian sea as well for its products as black sea gets frozen in northern area, hindering their trade. For this USSR will pay 75% of the cost of extending it.

I didn't care much because our deal was still safe and having two alternatives in trading was beneficial to USSR just like who even after such a large coast was still looking for alternative route. And the same route could be used to bring USSR's good to India for trading with other countries.

Recently we got a invite from UN despite us clearly putting our demand of only joining UN if we became a permanent member of the security council. So we understood that maybe this time we will get our seat so Manikarnika went as our representative and the results were as expected.

So, on the 6th session of UN India became the fifth country to become a permanent member of UN Security Council with veto power and the first Asian country as USSR don't count because of being a part of both continents.
