What Was Life Really Like?
The Mandal Commission crisis deepened — student protests against reservations turned violent, and the V. P. Singh government fell.
Kashmir descended into armed insurgency, and the Kashmiri Pandit community fled the valley in terror, one of the most traumatic displacement events of independent India. The Gulf War was sending Indian workers home from Kuwait, and the economy was under pressure. And yet: Madhuri Dixit was dancing, Doordarshan was broadcasting, and life somehow continued.
