On this day, 41 years ago, on November 1, 1984 (October 9, 1984 lunar calendar), Rajiv Gandhi became the prime minister of India. Rajiv will rule India with many factions. On November 1, 1984, Rajiv Gandhi was sworn in as prime minister in New Delhi. At the age of 48, he was chosen to replace his late-stabbed mother. Across the Yamuna River, the bodies of at least 95 Sikhs were found in a slum inhabited by Sikhs, and there are many signs that the new prime minister will face numerous political problems. Indian troops have also been ordered to move into nine other cities. Since the assassination of Ingandhi, the religious war between Sikhs and Hindus has claimed at least 1,000 lives. George Shultz, US secretary of state, who attended the funeral of Gandhi, assured the new prime minister that the US was "very interested in a strong and stable India". Relations between the United States and India have been strained due to US support for Pakistan. Schultz called for "a new positive development" in the bilateral relationship.
