本期看點：南亞次大陸五方混戰。是世界上最大的民主國家屹立於半島，還是公社會沿恆河碾碎瘋子和懦夫？是王公們重建昔日孔雀帝國，還是德國人會篡奪大英王冠上的明珠？

本文處於不完善狀態，缺少一張印度勢力劃分圖，敬請期待。

Welcome back to our 6th Progress Report! Its me, everyone』s favourite Middle East dev, TheCrusaderKing (aka u/PrinceYrielOfIyanden here) and today me and my friends Haruhi (aka SilverScorpion), Hellbat and A Toothbrush (yes that』s really their name) will be going over the complicated situation in India since the end of the Guerra Mondiale:

歡迎回到我們的第六期進度報告！是我，大家最喜歡的中東開發者，十字軍之王（又名PrinceYrielOfIyanden），今天我和我的朋友Haruhi （又名SilverScorpion），Hellbat和A Toothbrush（是的，他們的真名）將講述自一戰結束以後，印度地區的複雜狀況：

The Guerra Mondiale was hard on India. Countless brave men never returned from the brutal desert warfare of the Middle East, leaving thousands of grieving families and a populace angry that all of their efforts and sacrifices had been in vain. According to the Treaty of Ludwigsburg, Germany was to be ceded the Maldives and Ceylon, while the British were to keep the rest of their Indian colonies; Germany would be overextended otherwise.

一戰對印度來說很殘酷，很不公平。無數勇敢之人未能中東殘酷的沙漠戰爭中歸來，留下成千上萬的悲痛的家庭和民憤，烈士們的努力和犧牲都是徒勞的。根據《路德維希堡條約》，德國將獲得馬爾地夫和錫蘭，而英國則保留其餘的印度殖民地；否則德國將飽受過度擴張的影響。

A series of minor revolts broke out as emerging Indian nationalists were disappointed in the continuation of British rule. These events radicalised the wider population with a combination of nationwide famine and harsh repression, caused by the ensuing chaos. Ultimately, this culminated in the Indian National Congress under Lala Lajpat Rai declaring independence in September 1920, and proceeding to organise an army to drive the British from the subcontinent. Many natives within the British military defected to the revolt, and the sluggish and weak British response meant that victory was swift. By the end of the year British officers and colonial officials were streaming home by whatever means possible.

隨著印度民族主義者對英國統治的延續感到失望，一系列小型起義接連爆發。接下來，全國性的饑荒和殘酷的鎮壓激化了更多的人群，這是隨之而來的混亂造成的。最終在1920年9月，當拉賈帕特在印度國民大會上宣布獨立的那一刻，局勢達到了高潮，並隨之著手組織一支軍隊，旨在將英國人從次大陸趕走。英國軍隊中的許多本地人叛逃至叛軍，而英國政府對此遲緩無力的反應意味著勝利來得相當迅速。到年底時，英國軍官和殖民地官員以任何可能的方式逃回家鄉。

Meanwhile, in the east, the poor and downtrodden of Bengal had launched a revolution of their own, ousting the British in a glorious, albeit pyrrhic, victory. They soon declared their own 『Commune of India』, and once the fighting had ceased diplomats from the other Indian state soon opened diplomatic channels in the hope that a peaceful solution could be reached. This soon began to create a sense of unease amongst the old Princely States, who had reluctantly supported the Indian National Congress once it was clear the British would lose. They worried that an entry of the far more left-wing Bengalis to the nation could endanger their political position, or even see the nobility abolished.

與此同時在東方，孟加拉的窮人和受壓迫者發動了一場革命，在勝利的光輝中驅逐了英國人，他們很快宣布成立了自己的「印度公社」。一旦戰爭停止，印度所有勢力的外交官們很快就打開了外交渠道，希望以和平解決問題。這很快就在舊的王公諸國間蔓延開一種不安的感覺。在明確英國會失敗的情況下，他們勉強支持印度國民大會。他們擔心更加左翼的孟加拉人進入國家可能危及他們的政治地位，甚至貴族制度會被他們廢除。

This culminated in the 1925 War of the Princes, as the south under leadership of Osman Ali Khan, Nazim of Hyderabad, rebelled when their demands that the Nobility be enshrined in the constitution were not met. At first the exact battlelines were confusing, although the Princes soon established a hold over the south of the nation. Their advance ground to a halt as the Republican army employed the trench warfare they had used mere years in the Guerra Mondiale, keeping the front locked down for many months.

矛盾在1925年的王公戰爭中達到高潮。海德拉巴的大君主，米爾·奧斯曼·阿里汗領導的南部印度，當他們將維護貴族權力納入憲法的要求沒有得到滿足時，決定起兵反抗。起初很難劃分出確切的戰線，儘管王公們很快就控制了南部地區。隨著共和黨軍隊運用起他們在一戰時期熟練使用了好幾年的塹壕戰法時，王公軍攻勢受阻，使戰線被封鎖了好幾個月。

Persecution against the Northern Princes was swift, with their assets being seized and their leaders interned until the war』s end, and the nation was declared a republic. As the Northern Front grew stagnant, the Princely States soon turned their eyes towards the currently-neutral Socialists in the east, whom they launched a fresh assault against, their only real defence being militias. The Bengalis put up a valiant defence, eventually stopping the Princes as the Republic had, and the war soon turned cold. Unwilling to let their men die in yet another pointless war, Tamil and some of the other Southern Princes broke away from the Princely States, instead taking in German advisors and military protection until eventually they maintained a similar relationship to that which they had under the old British Raj, albeit one in which they enjoyed a greater degree of freedom.

很快，共和黨開始了對北方王公們的迫害。他們的財產被沒收，被拘留至戰爭結束。沒有了王公們，北方正式宣布成立共和國。隨著北部戰線停職不前，王公國很快將目光轉向了東方中立的社會主義者，發起了一場新的進攻。公社唯一真正的防禦力量是民兵組織，但孟加拉人還是勇敢地進行防禦，最終像共和國一樣阻擋了王公前進的步伐，戰事很快冷卻下來，人們不願意讓生命浪費在另一場無意義的戰爭中。泰米爾人和一些南方諸侯脫離了王公國，轉而接受了德國的顧問和軍事保護，直到最後他們和德國人維持了與英屬印度時期相似的關係，儘管他們享有更大的自由度。

While the war raged, Afghanistan, under secret German instruction, launched a swift attack into the eastern Muslim-majority parts of the country, also establishing the nation of Punjab as their puppet state in order to create legitimacy for their 「Saving of the Islamic peoples of India from imperialism and mismanagement」. After 2 years of fighting the Jabalpur Armistice was signed, a temporary end to the war which has remained in place right up to the present day, no side being willing to end the fragile peace. Relations between the Republic and the Bengalis decreased after the war, with rhetoric and sentiment from Calcutta rapidly moving to the Left of politics over the years while Delhi remained firmly in favour of liberal republican ideals.

印度內戰爆發時，阿富汗在德國的秘密指導下，迅速向東部穆斯林占多數的地區發起進攻，並建立了「旁普遮國」作為傀儡以創造合法性，使他們「從帝國主義者和不妥管理中拯救印度的伊斯蘭民族」。經過2年的戰鬥，賈巴爾普爾休戰協議簽署，暫時結束了戰爭。爭端一直持續到今天，沒有人願意結束這脆弱的和平。戰爭結束後，共和國與孟加拉公社之間的關係逐漸惡化，加爾各答的言論和情感迅速地移向政治左翼，而德里政府仍然堅定地支持自由共和黨的理想。

This brings us up to the present day, the 1st of January 1936. With worldwide tensions increasing, it seems to many that a renewed conflict may be inevitable for India, however in every nation the glimmer of hope still remains that unity could one day come without conflict, one which the upcoming elections of the republic could make a reality...

以上的一切促使我們把目光移向今天，1936年1月1日。隨著世界範圍內的緊張局勢日益加劇，許多人似乎認為：印度發生新的衝突是不可避免的。然而對於每方勢力來說，不發生衝突而摯誠團結的希望曙光依然存在，共和國即將舉行的大選可能會將其變為現實（聯合政府？）。

Indian Republic

印度共和國

Since its』 inception, the Republic of India has been ruled by only one man. The popular and strong President Lala Lajpat Rai has led the newly-born nation through its very darkest days of war and famine, managing against all odds to create something which can truly be called a democracy. The aged lawyer however, despite constant reelection, is getting older and older by the day and with his health rapidly failing, he has announced that he will step down by the end of the year, triggering fresh elections for who will rule the country. With tensions brewing with the Princes, Afghans and Communists, it seems like this coming election could prove to decide the fate of the entire peninsula.

自成立以來，印度共和國一直只由一個人統治。這位受歡迎的，堅強的總統：拉賈帕特帶領著這個新興國家度過了最黑暗的戰爭與饑荒時期，不惜一切代價，創造出真正可以稱之為民主的東西。然而，年邁的律師（指拉賈帕特）儘管不斷連任，但其年齡越來越大，健康狀況迅速惡化。他宣布將在年底前卸任，舉行新的選舉，決定誰將繼續統治這個國家。由於王公、阿富汗人和共產主義者之間的關係緊張，這次選舉似乎將決定整個半島的命運。

Commune of India

印度公社

What started as a labour strike in Bengal soon erupted into rioting, marking the beginning of the bloody Bengal Revolution. After weeks of fighting in the streets, thousands of Indian workers lay dead, but the new Commune of India stood triumphant. While their sympathies were primarily left-wing, a dialogue was also established with the parallel Republic of India in hopes that a peaceful unification could one day come about. This was not to be. After the War of the Princes all talks of reunification were put on hold, and as many people, inspired by the successes of Danubia, move further and further to the left of politics, it is possible that that reunification may never come. Eventually with Austrian leadership the communist organizations were merged into CPI, and while the nation is officially council communist it has a wide variety of factions within it, being a young, corrupt and unstable party.

始於孟加拉的工黨罷工發生後，不久就爆發了騷亂，標誌著孟加拉血腥革命的開始。經過數周的街頭戰鬥，數千名印度工人喪生，但新生的印度公社取得了勝利。雖然他們的支持者主要是左翼，但與一併叛亂的印度共和國之間也建立了對話，希望有一天可以和平統一。事實並非如此。在王公戰爭結束之後，所有的統一談判都被擱置了，許多人被多瑙河聯邦的成功所鼓舞，在政治上越走越左，也許統一可能永遠不會到來。最終伴隨著奧地利的領導，共產主義組織合併為CPI（一個年輕、腐敗和不穩定的政黨），而印度公社正式成為了其內有各種各樣派系的「議會共產主義」國家。

The Commune itself is quite unstable, weakness has convinced many the CPI will never do much but be a laughing stock for the Republic. Utopians lead by Subhas Chandra Bose want to overthrow the 「bourgeoisie republic」 for a new strong utopian state, unify the subcontinent and remove what』s left of colonial influence. Rightists within the CPI itself criticize the economic policies of the party, and want a return back to markets, with a small scale agrarian economy. The Commune is at a crossroads as factions fight for power, all wanting to determine it』s destiny. Will it prosper or fall to infighting? Only time can tell.

公社本身十分不穩定，其被證明是軟弱的，以致CPI似乎除了淪為共和國的笑柄，其他什麼也不會做。蘇巴斯·錢德拉·鮑斯領導的烏托邦主義者想推翻「資產階級共和國」，建立一個新的強大「烏托邦國家」，統一次大陸並消除殖民影響。CPI內部的右派批評黨的經濟政策，並希望回歸市場，建立一個小規模的農業經濟。當派系爭奪權力時，公社正處在十字路口，所有人都想決定它的命運。公社會繁榮昌盛還是陷入內訌萬劫不復？只有時間才能證明。

Princely States

土邦/王公國

Emerging from their baptism by fire that was the War of the Princes, the Princes created a new Union, placing Osman Ali Khan as the new leader and becoming the only free and native monarchy on the peninsula. Led by a council of princes with differing ideologies and beliefs, and with little to no centralization on the federal level, it is one of the most unstable nations in India. This instability as well as the countination of colonial era taxation by many of the princes has led to the State becoming unpopular among the people, denounced by them as a Muslim creation.

王公們在王公戰爭中接受洗禮，建立了一個新的聯盟，將米爾.奧斯曼.阿里汗推舉為新的領袖，成為半島上唯一自由和本土化的君主政體。國家由一個具有不同意識形態和信仰的王公組成的理事會統治，在聯邦層面上幾乎沒有集中化，它可以說是印度最不穩定的國家之一。這種不穩定以及許多殖民時代稅收項目的持續導致了王公國在民眾中變得不受歡迎，被他們譴責為「穆斯林創造的怪物」。

A revanchist movement has arisen in the states itself calling for a union of all Dharmic people』s inspired by the Brescil』s Antiquarian Nationalists in Italy. The movement aims for a reunification and national revival of India to create a Dharmic state of all free peoples, one inspired by the ancient empires of old, such as the Maurya Empire, from a time when the continent was free from dangerous foreign ideologies and customs. The Princes are attempting to crack down on the movement, will they succeed and hold on to dear life, or fall away for the new India?

一場復仇主義運動在王公國們境內興起，號召所有的達摩人民團結在義大利布雷希爾的泛古民族主義的旗幟下。這一運動的目的是實現印度的統一和民族復興，以建立一個由古老的帝國（比如孔雀帝國）所啟發，所有公民皆自由，確保整個次大陸免受危險的外國習俗與意識形態迫害的國家。王公們正試圖鎮壓這場運動，他們會成功並繼續活躍於世界舞台，還是為了新印度而黯然離場？

Punjab

旁普遮

With the War of the Princes, Afghanistan with German assistance moved into Western India to take land and glory for themselves and create a new Islamic state, The Islamic Republic of Punjab. The Muslim League, persecuted by other governments, moved into the new state at the request of the Afghan government and formed an interim one. They wanted to create a buffer against the growing Indian Republic, under the supervision of Afghanistan, for the new state.

隨著王公戰爭爆發，阿富汗在德國的援助下進軍印度西部，為自己奪取土地和榮譽，創造了一個新的伊斯蘭國度：旁遮普伊斯蘭共和國。穆斯林聯盟受到其他政府的迫害，在阿富汗政府的請求下進入新生的旁普遮，並組建了一個臨時政府。他們希望在阿富汗的監督下，和不斷崛起的印度共和國之間建立一個緩衝區。

The nation is rather young, but it is one of India』s most stable, with the League having high popularity. The economy has been growing at a steady pace and the nascent state is steadily growing in power and influence. With talks of reunification being discussed, and the Muslim League getting farther from it』s Afghani overlords many are worried about the state』s independence, and if it can withstand an onslaught of the rest of India, or even break away from Afghanistan.

這個國家還有些年輕，但卻是印度最穩定的國家之一，穆斯林聯盟很受歡迎。經濟一直在持續增長，新生的國家在權力和影響力上穩步上升。隨著統一的討論正在進行中，穆斯林聯盟越來越遠離他們的阿富汗「主人」，許多人擔心旁普遮的獨立，它是否能經受住印度其他勢力的衝擊，甚至直接脫離阿富汗的控制。

Deutsche Raj

德屬印度帝國

In the wake of the War of the Princes the balance of peace in India was disturbed, the Germans viewing it as their opportunity to strike gold in the subcontinent and acquire their long coveted jewel in the old British Empire』s crown. German ambassadors lured in princes to signing treaties of German mutual defense in the South, with the princes fearing encroaching rule from the communists or further centralisation of the Princely States. Those princes who rejected would be subject to war with the much more powerful Germans, a terrible fate indeed with the War in the North. When the war was over Germany had acquired all of South India and declared the protectorates the 「Deutsche Raj」.

在王公戰爭後，印度和平的穩態被打亂了，德國人把它看作是他們在次大陸淘金的好機會，可以從古老的大英帝國皇冠上獲得他們垂涎欲滴的寶石。德國大使們誘使一些王公在南部簽署了「德國共同防禦條約」，利用了王公們害怕共產主義侵襲他們權力基礎，或者進一步被王公國集權的恐懼。那些拒絕條約的王公們會面臨與更強大的德國人戰爭的風險，這相比於王公戰爭（王公國意圖吞併印度共和國的戰爭）來說是個更可怕的命運。戰爭結束後，德國佔領了整個南部印度，宣布其保護區為「Deutsche Raj（德國統治，或稱德屬印度）」。

Not long after, a militant anti-german group, allegedly allied with the All-India Dharmic League, was formed to resist German rule on the peninsula, and have since launched a number of terrorist attacks on German officials. It』s modern day situation is similar to that of the Princely State, the Raj itself is unstable, with officials of both groups distrustful, the people resentful, and corruption widespread within the nation. With no clear ideological movements in place due to Germanic divide and rule strategies, it is the wildcard for the future of the subcontinent.

不久之後，一個據稱與全印度達摩聯盟結盟的激進反德組織成立，以抵抗德國在半島上的統治，並對德國官員發動了多次恐怖襲擊。目前德屬印度的情況與王公國相似：政權本身是不穩定的，兩組（本地印度王公與德國人）官員相互不信任，人民怨聲載道，腐敗遍及全國。由於日耳曼的分裂-統治策略，這個國家沒有明確的意識形態運動，這或許就是次大陸未來的通配符。
