The Event/incident/Moment That Changed History

[DrRajpalSingh]

There have been several instances in the history of mankind that a minor looking incident or event let loose such potential force that it changed the well thought out plan or idea, or generated so much vigour in the minds of men to change the course of History of mankind. For example, when an apple came down on the ground before the eyes of Newton, this incident led him to find out the cause as to why the apple did not go to sky instead of falling to ground. And Lo and Behold ! after this event he researched the cause of this event and came out with the theory of gravitation power of the Earth.

In this thread we intend to discuss such trifles or moments in the history of the nation that changed the flow of history to altogether new direction. All are requested to quote such incidents, events, moments in the life of the Indian Nation that caused change in the flow of history in a different direction than that was usually supposed to happen.

Thanks and regards
