Indian Cabinet, 1971   Description As the governing body of a nation geographically divided by the entire width of a rival nation, “home” to a surge of refugees who have crossed border lines and where eminent conflicts based on religious tensions arise constantly, the Indian Cabinet of 1971 will tackle the problems that face the nation during the East Pakistan riots of the 1970s. In the "real world," these riots ultimately led to the Bangladeshi Liberation War of 1971, but the course of history remains to be woven as the decisions the delegate make could prevent, enable, or exacerbate a regional crisis. As we progress chronologically, delegates will need to strategize how best to protect our nation from being victim to Pakistani attacks. As Cold War tensions between the Soviet Union, the United States, and Europe arise, delegates will have to balance what is best for their newly-born nation with the interests of their own conflicting beliefs as we prepare our home country for potential combat.
