Northern Indian Alliance

**The Northern Indian Alliance** is a despotic rebel state in India. They are currently locked in a brutal civil war against the National Republic of India and Araminder Singh's Dictatorship. The NIA is a partisan state fighting for a democratic India, led by Rahul Gandhi and the Northern Party. Under Gandhi's Leadership, the NIA has gained the upper hand in the war thanks to Australian assistance who has been supporting the Northern Cause, going so far as the NIA captured Delhi in November 1999 using primarily Australian weaponry.

The Northern Indian Alliance is democratically aligned with Gandhi's Northern Party being a more Liberally focused party. The NIA is composed of many democratic, socialist , Marxist and anti-fascists who seek to fight against the Fascist Indian State. Gandhi and the Northern Party wish for closer relations with Australia and O.T.O post-civil war.

## History

### Path to Rebellion

The Northern Alliance's History can be traced as early to 1942 with the establishment of the Free Atlantic States and the Independent Indian State which was in reality an Atlantean Puppet Government. India was previously a British Colonial Holding and was set to be granted independence after the loss in the War of Liberation, however it was decided it was too valuable of a territory to lose and instead was established as a puppet state. This angered the Indian People.

Their anger was furthered when throughout the FAS rule, India would be wrecked by two Major Wars and an overall poor management. Famine was common and the IIS was neglected. In the 1950s, India would see some of the fiercest fighting during the War of the Pacific where Burma and the Kashmir Region were heavily contested and invaded by the Union Forces. Not even 10 Years later, a second great war would break out on Indian Soil. The Last Great War would again be fought heavily on Indian Land and many Atlantean Invasions were conducted from India.

As the Free Atlantic States transitioned into the Atlantic Imperium, the Indian people were set to not be held as a puppet state by another power so at the end of the war the people launched nationwide protests and strikes which were eventually answered and the Indian People were set to be free. 1968 is considered to be the year of Indian Independence and also the year the Dictatorship Began. Captain Singh, a leading Military Officer and attaché to the Atlantean Army was chosen to lead the National Party of India and oversee the election process. However, Singh rigged the elections so he would win and within a few years, he had banned opposition and established a Dictatorship.

The Northern Party was established in 1970 by groups of people who were members of the former election parties and they banded together to protest Singh's dictatorship. However, the protests would be crushed and the Party would be harassed by Secret Police, many members and leaders being assassinated or straight up executed. In 1987, Rahul Gandhi would take over the Northern Party. He claimed that he represented the new Indian Generation and that they must fight back. They began mobilising and commenced violent protests and Delhi would be gripped with violence for a week in March 1989.

In September 1998 following tense relations with the People's Republic of Qinghai, Singh announced a new Governmental Conscription Decree. It forced young men aged 18+ to serve a year in the Indian Army in preparation for a war with the PRQ. The Northern Party refused and in November they began preparations for an all out rebellion. The Indian Civil War began in January 1999.
