*The Shah Bano case involved a sixty-two-year-old woman from Indore asking that her husband, who had divorced her, pay her a monthly maintenance sum. While the Supreme Court ruled in her favour, the ruling was perceived to be against Islam. The Congress, owing to the pressures of an election year, sided with the Muslim orthodoxy’s dismissal of the woman’s right to have access to the maintenance amount and responsibility of the spouse, and came up with the Muslim Women Act of 1986 which gave Muslim women the right to a maintenance sum for only three months after divorce.

*The Rajiv-Longowal Accord also known as the Punjab Accord was signed between Rajiv Gandhi and Harcharan Singh Longowal in 1985, wherein against the acceptance of the Akali Dal’s demands, the Akali Dal had agreed to stop their agitation. This drew the wrath of several Sikh leaders and politicians. Some of the clauses in the agreement weren’t fulfilled eventually. In 1987, Rajiv Gandhi and Sri Lankan President J.R. Jayewardene signed the Indo-Sri Lanka Peace Accord in Colombo. With the aim of resolving the Sri Lankan Civil War, Colombo was to relinquish power to the provinces, the Sri Lankan troops were to withdraw and the Tamil rebels were to surrender their arms to the Indian Peace-Keeping Force or IPKF. However, the Tamil groups, especially the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) did not keep to their word. Violence ensued.
