Indian general election, 1979 (Fascist Coup Britain)

The 1979 Indian general election saw the INC form a minority government.

Background
Following the 1974 general election the INC had launched a boundary review to continue the process which had brought about the fall of the previous 4 party coalition government, this proved to be highly contentious with the new boundaries greatly increasing Hindu representation at the expense of European and other minority groups, leading to outrage within these groups.

Results
The INC lost its majority but was able to remain in power as a minority government receiving outside support from the left wing parties in the Legislatve Assembly. The election also saw the division of seats amongst religious lines return, with the Muslim League winning almost every Muslim seat whilst Akali Dal won every Sikh seat. The election saw a catastrophic defeat for the Liberal whose defense of the European minority rights to greater representation saw it alienate many non-European votes, so whilst it may have again held all the European seats, the Liberals lost many of their other seats, more than halving their representation.
