Certain alternate histories are barely touched upon because of their position outside our mainly eurocentric point of view. So with this Alternate history I am trying to bring up a mixture of two very unused areas into one alternate history. I am not quite sure how to put this but I am trying bring up the possibility of Indian kingdoms making use of African slaves on pretty widespread basis.
My thoughts on this were:
What time period would be best for slavery on the subcontinent?
I know the Egyptians often relied on nubian slave labour, what situation would allow Indians to also take advantage of slave labour in a similar fashion?
Does the monsoon nature of the indian ocean prevent or help trade (I am not sure how they work at all)?
If it occured later would Arabs be the slavers and simply sell their goods in India?
This is just the first thoughts I had if anyone else has an idea bring them up please. Also feel free to call this all ASB, I think it might be.
