This is not very difficult I think. We just need a stronger Spain. Historically speaking, after 1600 it´s very unlucky and performs badly in most areas, although it should have been capable of being a major power.
With a POD a bit before 1492, we could have a more tolerant Spain: Keep the jews there.
The jews left?
My area of history is WW2 and the British Civil War, so I don't know what you're talking about.
A more sensible economic policy. Initially missing colonial oppurtunities in America, a Spain more dependant on domestic trade and industries instead of having a government filthy rich but reckless.
I'm assuming their economic policy was moronic IOTL? Something like relying almost completely on their empire?
Better luck in wars during the 16th and 17th century.
No succession war.
Luck is something that can easily be changed with butterflies, and the succession war could easily be averted with a few royal deaths/lifes, perhaps a direct male descendant of Charles 2?
And there you go. You have a Spain capable of conquering India.
Kewl. Now make it conquer India.
