This article asks if India could have been a monarchy after independence, and while the article has some weird errors ("There is no doubt that democracy is uniquely suited to India relative to other non-Western societies"? What the fuck? India came very close to being a dictatorship during the Emergency), it still has interesting points. It also brings up an interesting question. With a post-1900 POD, how can India become a monarchy upon independence?
