Interim Government of the Republic of India

The Interim Government of the Republic of India is a surviving remnant of the Republic of India, being based in the Former Populated State of Uttar Pradesh. It is considered the legal successor to the Republic of India, and is the most powerful entity in the Indian Subcontinent. 
The Interim Government looks to reclaim and unite the former lands of the "Old Republic", a term used by Post-Apocalyptic India, not just the Interim Government.
== INTRODUCTION ==
The Interim Government is based in the former State of Uttar Pradesh, the most populated state, and also controls many far flung regions and key regions through the "Agnipath" Scheme, which secured major cities as well as Key Regions containing huge mineral resources (East India),
Mumbai has also been secured, as well as Gujarat, and Mumbai has been surviving thanks to Gujarati Aid, keeping the city away from collapse, the Indian Army has also secured Forts and Cities in the Jharkhand Anarchy, a rich resource region now embroiled in Anarchy, fighting the Naxalites and Banditry.
Communications across the Interim Government would be somewhat stable and slow, with Paper being the mainstay communication, relaying orders and messages to Jurisdictions and Cored Holdouts from Delhi, with Paper Men travelling through guarded Caravan Lines towards each important City, where the sector is based at.
=== PROTESTS OF 2088 ===
Meanwhile, the Interim Government is struggling to contain unrest and instability caused by the Agitating Political and Educated Class to question the practices of the Government, and begins organizing protests in Delhi en masse, the protests are referred to as "The Freedom March of 2088".
The Protests are a result of the Political Class making speeches for the massive Delhite Population who are unaware of the Interim's wrongdoings and practices as well as personal freedom. 
These speeches would be made in 2086, and the Attendance for these speeches would grow, as word of them would spread like wildfire through rudimentary newspapers and gossip, and would begin agreeing to the speeches made by this Political Class - aka the leaders of the Indian People's Party and other two parties (see Governance and Ideology for reference), who would make lengthy speeches against the wrongdoings of the Government, and would call for protests to reform the Nation back into a democracy.
The IPP, BRC and the RSP would form an alliance to protest against the Interim Government and to kick them out and restore India's democracy once more, calling themselves as "Disguised Dictators" for suppressing religious freedom and democracy, and would be successful, as Delhi, already struggling with Stability, would be embroiled in Protests.
The Indian Police Service and the Yamuna River Military Jurisdiction would begin taking measures to contain the protests, but are unable to due to the sheer size of the protests, the Interim Government would turn Delhi into Martial Law, giving the Military Full Power after the Indian Police Service was unable to contain protests in Chandni Chowk, Delhi's most important street, as well as Connaught Place, effectively halting whatever remains of the Business District.
The Interim Government would be hellbent on suppressing this movement, and after a while, would come to negotiations with the IPP, the head of the alliance, for greater personal freedom and allowing Muslims to be citizens in the current India, to which they agree.
The Indian Army and the Indian Police Service puts up more tightened security in Delhi, but would be half effective due to lack of resources.
The Streets are Silent and the Protestors are gone, but the Government is weakened..
== POLITICAL STRUCTURE ==
The Government of India is headed by the President of India, who assumes total power during times of emergency and crisis, and is elected through a ranked choice voting system by the small sized Presidential Council who gives advice to the President. Uttar Pradesh is divided into 7 Military Jurisdictions and 7 Cored Holdouts, to manage administration of such a Large State, making Administration and Banditry Reduction easier for the Jurisdictions.
The various holdouts across all of India themselves are divided into local governors appointed by the President of India to make administration of far flung regions easier, using decayed Communications Technology, they are able to somewhat communicate with eachother. Some Holdouts are under governors (ex. Kolkata Holdout, Mumbai Holdout,) while some are mostly ruled by the military (ex. Military Frontier of India, Cuttack Naval Base, Saurashtra Military Government).
== GOVERNANCE AND IDEOLOGY ==
The Interim Government follows an Authoritarian Style of Governance lining closely with Hindutva (Hindu Nationalism) Style of Governance and Principles, as well as a form of Democracy in which Holdout Governors exist to govern a Holdout/Region. The Interim Government would silence religious dissent and protests, and general unrest and freedom and rights were curtailed in the name of National Unity and Uniformity, this backfired, as the Population begins demanding for more Personal Freedom in the cities, while the countryside is governed by the Jurisdictions.
The Union Ministry of Home Affairs would be the only functioning ministry, having been fixed immediately by the Interim Government to improve and maintain decent stability across the secured lands in North India, with it making the first act passed by the Presidential Council, the Policing Act, to first improve stability within the urban centres such as Lucknow, Delhi, Moradabad, etc, with Delhi receiving more importance over the issue of Law and Order.
Political Parties do indeed exist, but most opposition parties have escaped to the Liberal National Congress Revolt, which has so far, seen no success. The Parties that did remain begin garnering support to voice out their concerns and protests against the Authoritarian Regime, they are:
Indian People's Party - Conservative Democracy, Pro-Market
Bharatiya Rashtriya Congress - Social Democracy, Protectionism
Rashtriya Swabhiman Party - Pan-Indian Nationalism and Social Justice
There are other parties that voice out against the Interim Government, but the 3 parties are the ones gaining traction slowly, but they will cause a huge effect to the current Government in the Future. Radical Religious Parties also exist as the Interim Government has developed Hinduism heavily, causing the rise of the following parties:
Bharatiya Hindu Sena - Hindutva Nationalism, Fascism [BANNED]
Bharatiya Janatiya Party - Conservatism, Hindutva
All India Majlis-e-Muslimeen League - Social Justice, Advocacy for Muslim Rights
The Bharatiya Hindu Sena would be formed as a Fascist Hindutva Party, advocating for an India ruled by Hindu Nationalism with Hindu Cultural Values, but the moderates of the BHS would see this as Insanity and outright Dictatorship, and the Moderates, being a good chunk of the BHS, would split off and form the Bharatiya Janatiya Party, a recall to the old BJP, except alot more assertive and bullish on Hindutva, and would also advocate for Conservatism and Economic Liberalization and Development, being a direct enemy to the Bharatiya Hindu Sena. 
The All India Majlis-e-Musalmaan League would be born out of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslim League, now being a National Party, they would be the main voice of all Protests against the Interim Government, they would make speeches calling for Protests if they want Muslims to be treated fairly in this Government, and would start the Delhi Protests, with Muslims in Delhi and Nearby Areas protesting and advocating for Religious Freedom and Muslim Rights, but the Muslim League would be hated by the Hindutva Parties for obvious reasons as well as the Moderate Parties for attacking Hindus constantly during Protests in Delhi. 
The Protests by the AIMeML would cause the Interim Government to pass the Muslim Rights Act, granting limited citizenship, personal Sharia as well as limiting the influence of Hindu Extremists and Nationalists at a steep cost, the Muslims in the Government-Controlled Territories are satisfied with thes compromises, causing Muslim League protests to die down but would still continue due to Muslim League Protests. 
In response, the Bharatiya Hindu Sena criticizes the Government for bowing down to Muslim Infidels, and begins staging protests in Delhi, calling for resignation of the Government, in response, the Indian Police Force begins using their newfound expansion in Delhi to crack down on the Hindu Sena protests, with the government announcing that "the leaders will be hanged for treason". 
The protests would eventually be suppressed by the Indian Police Force with the help of the Yamuna Jursdiction Force, suppressing Hindu Sena protests and banning Hindu Extremist parties due to this disturbance, and also warning the AIMeML to also stop committing such activities or face a ban, with the AIMeML becoming more moderate after the compromises in the future. 
After 2 Protests from Political Parties and then from 2 Religious-centered Parties, the Interim Government would start making efforts to increase their power against unrest, and would be able to do so by increasing the IPS in Delhi further to disallow such events in the future, with the growing Caravan Economy leading to an increase in Law and Order situation due to the increasing demand for Security in the Merchant Markets. 
=== DELHI ===
The City of Delhi, going by many names such as National Capital Region or Greater Delhi due to the inclusion of the Delhi Metropolitan Region, is considered to be the largest and most influential city/region in India, with over 3.3 Million People living inside the city, it's considered an economic center in North India, being considered the Artery of the Interim Government, having focused on improving it's Law and Order situation, decreasing Banditry around the Greater Delhi/National Capital Region.
The City has become a Hub of Trade and Culture as Artisanal and Musical Culture undergoing a revival in the City, as well as Trade booming thanks to the newly set up albeit unsafe Caravan Routes, but as it goes on, the security improves in the Tributaries, causing banditry to decrease but still be significant due to Jharkhand and Bihari banditry, but still boosting trade along India's vital rivers and cities, with most routes ending at Delhi due to the demand in the city. 
Due to the city bordering the Banks of the Yamuna River stretching across the Interim Government, it has become a hub for Trade and Commerce across the Government's territory with the established caravan routes going along the Ganga River System as a source of navigation, eventually leading to Delhi and starting and boosting economic growth, which slowly fills the Finances of the Government, as Delhi's Market Revenues are indirectly connected to the government through funding and tax initiatives. 
Crime is a major hotspot in Delhi, with the people desperate for resources to fill their own needs, looting and robbing off other desperate and poor people, occuring mainly in the slums, turning the slums into a nightmare for the Indian Police Service to control, with efforts being made to revise tactics and fix the IPS, which will take a long time due to the lack of Merit, Education and the corruption within the Government's Institutions.
The Union Ministry of Home Affairs, the only functioning Ministry in the Government, would begin taking measures to increase stability and order in the massively populated National Capital Territory, the Home Affairs would submit an act to the Presidential Council, and would deem it excellent, passing the Policing Act to increase Policing in the Delhi Region, forming a seperate institution known as the Indian Police Service, aka Civil Police.
It's formation, organization and tactics would be made by the Chief Police Commissioner, with the CPC being an experienced Jurisdiction Officer from the Yamuna River Jurisdiction, with Jurisdiction Officers forming the bulk of the Organization of the IPS, they would begin forming it's organization.
Paper would be used as the mainstay of communications for Police Stations across the city and the Greater Delhi/National Capital Region, improving police communication and Police Stations would be made in small buildings, but would expand later on due to Government funding.
== ECONOMY ==
WIth the Government looking to repair the Economy, efforts would be made to first start a caravan line from Delhi to Varanasi, to connect Southern UP and raise economic growth, as well as looking to nationalize the Economy with the Line, announcing Delhi's Market as the new National Market, tying Delhi's Growth with the rest of the Republic, and would begin seeing Economic Growth, and would begin starting to force the countryside under our control with the establishment of more lines and the expansion of the National Market from Cored Holdouts.
This would cause monopolies to rise up, such as Tata Group to take advantage of the Growing Economy, and would begin by making a northern caravan line from Gorakhpur to Moradabad, then connecting with Meerut and then to Delhi, making revenue and travel possible. But the Government Caravan Line would be more trustworthy due to it being more maintained and guarded, but Tata would develop it overtime, making it more travelled than the government due to it's secure and developed location. 
This alarming development would cause the Parliament to start applying anti-monopoly measures against the Rising Monopolies, and would begin it's own development plans for the Caravan Routes, and would begin securing Southern UP's Various Mineral Mines, reluctantly having to collaborate with the Tata Monopoly to share the development of the mines due to overstretchment of our resources, but leads to Better Economic Growth once the mines were set up. 
The Economic Minister of the Council would announce that they would begin using the new funds from the Economic Growth to start focusing on Improving Delhi first, focusing on developing the Markets as well as Housing and Security, they would generate jobs after Housing Programmes were announced, generating employment to build new houses, land reforms in Delhi would be initiated by the Economic Minister to make people and companies be able to buy land, but would be acquired by the monopolies, forcing the government to launch Anti-Monopoly Measures on Land Acquirement, also boosting the Indian Police Service to enforce the land reforms and measures, checking routinely for any change in Land Ownership and arresting them if there was unauthorized changes.
These changes and the Growth would cause the countryside near Delhi in the Yamuna River Jurisdiction to be more integrated with the Delhi Territory, making Northern Jurisdiction Areas more integrated and collaborative but still needed much more due to existing banditry and other issues.
They would also begin working on improving Urban Markets, with the Interim Government, now confident in their economic abilities, would pass the Market Nationalization Act, to nationalize markets in Urban Centres to improve the economy, Tata would take advantage of this, forming the first Organized Market Place in Delhi, and then Lucknow and Varanasi, improving the Republic's Economy while the Government
With the Government focusing on Delhi's Security and Development, and thanks to these
== CULTURES OF INDIA ==
=== ART CULTURE OF INDIA AND THE CREATION OF NEO-INDIAN CULTURE ===
The Interim Government would start initiating the "Kala Punaruddhar Yojana" to revive the Artistic Talents and Culture of India, and would initiate this plan in the reconstructing city of Delhi, where the city will be based on Artistic Culture and Talent. This would be termed by many Post-Apocalypse Historic and Cultural Experts as the beginning of the wider "Neo-Indian Culture" with Traditional Arts and Craft being introduced into the Neo-Indian Culture.
The Kala Punaruddhar Yojana would aim to create a new style of Culture in India, one that emphasized Arts and Crafts in the Traditional Sector, seeing many great artists rise in Delhi, turning the Capital into a Hub of Creativity, great Craftmanship and Culture, but would also see daring people break the Traditional Rule, making new, weird art using unusual colors, terming it as "Naya Art", aiding the Art Boom and giving a sense of cultural identity to the City of Delhi.
An Identity dominated by the Painter's Hand and the Crafter's Wisdom.
=== MUSCIAL AND DANCE ARTS REVIVAL ===
With the ongoing revival in the Arts and Craftery, Music would also see a cultural revival, with Shehnais, Bansuris and other traditional instruments being used to produce music for the Delhiites, creating some of the most iconic and loved music all across the populated Capital Region, playing sounds of many tunes that fill the void and desparation in the streets of Delhi, giving a sense of calm in the hard and trying times in the City, with Ashen Sitar being the most popular Musician.
Dance would also see a major revival, with dance being only in Hindu Festivals and dance forms deriving from Hinduism and other religions, being the norm until the 2100s-2110s, with musicians also experimenting with Dance Forms to go in with their musical performances, performing on outdoor stages to attract as many listeners as possible, with Ashen Sitar's group being the most popular, performing Dances that go well with Sitar's Music
