Question for you all, say during the 1400s and beyond, India came to be ruled by a Hindu dynasty, what would the geo political ramifications of this be? Would they do as the Mughals did and ally themselves with the Ottomans against the Safavids and Iran as a whole, or would they look to ally with the Safavids, or would they maintain a policy of neutrality? Was it necessary for India to hold onto Afghanistan to protect its north western frontier, or was this simply a Mughal desire? Finally, with a Hindu dynasty in charge, what does this do for the demographics of the Empire?
