So, Germany knocks the USSR out of the war by taking Moscow in 1941 and the Caucasus in 42-43. The Allies invade Italy, fail (subsequently Italy doesn't leave the Axis), and try for Japan next, invading it (with a lot of nukes) in 45-46. Japan never surrenders, its remaining territory waging a...

What the title says.

What if Harsha Vardhana, king of the Pushyabhuti dynasty who at one point controlled all of northern India, had a surviving and competent heir? I hear theories that his lack of issue is something that weakened the Pushyabhuti empire, if we take into account the assumption that he did have a...

Could there be a movement for Hindus advocating a separate Hindu state during the British Raj era? Their argument could be that Hindus are a plurality in the Raj and will eventually be turned into a minority.

As most of you are probably aware, IOTL Gandhi was shot and killed in 1948 by a Hindu nationalist. What if he had survived the attack (either by the assassin being stopped before he could fire or by being wounded nonfatally)? What would be the effects on India and the world if he had survived...

I've looked it up and there have been discussions but people wanted a specific POD so here is a more vague one: How could India, which a POD no earlier than 1947, go through a civil war?

Looking through the archives, there is surprisingly little written about India, but plenty about China, so I decided to remedy the situation. The PoD can be anytime, although it shouldn't require wiping out Europe and China's populations. Obviously due to the paucity of historical knowledge of...

What PODs are there for a Muslim-majority India?

Usually whatever is at your historical disposal, prevent India from being split into Pakistan and India.

So I would like to see your ideas how to make united India, but without the british raj. But with a POD after 1700, so no Aurangzeb conquering all India, or Ashoka's empire survives for thousands of years. There might be other mughals, if they are smart, or the Marathas, or anyone, or even a...

Historically, after the Second World War, India achieved independence as a united nation while China was split between the Republic of China in the south and the People's Republic of China in the north, which have both lasted until the present-day, but what if China was a united nation while...

So, suppose that the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 is unresolved and escalates into a direct military confrontation between the US and the USSR. My question is: how will Maoist China react to this situation? The Sino-Soviet Split hasn't yet happened, but Mao already has his doubts regarding the...

The situation between The People’s Republic of China and the Taiwan-based Republic of China continues to be both a frustrating and fascinating political quagmire. However, what if this situation emerged in India instead, where India went “communist” under a Mao-like leader, and the capitalist...

With a POD after August 15, 1947, how do we get a scenario where Pakistan remained a single unified nation until 2018 instead of splitting into Pakistan and Bangladesh in 1971. Bonus points if you could get India to lose certain areas akin to how East Pakistan seceded from Pakistan and became...

Historically, Babur, first emperor of the Mughal Empire (or the Gurkani) considered invading India but instead opted for an invasion of Persia, setting up the stage for the Mughal Empire, which ruled Persia from the 16th Century onwards, but what if he had invaded India instead? Could he have...

Khalistan the sikh homeland. Located between india and Pakistan Khalistan was created during the partition of india, this event nearly did not happen the british government during the time period wanted to leave as quickly as possible, and wanted to split india between hindu's and muslums...

Assuming a Pakistan-wank of sorts happens (perhaps more Pakistani victories in their wars against India), could the country end up fostering an alliance with, or perhaps even annexing, the Maldives? Or is there another PoD for this to happen, such as during the partition of British India?
