Though it has been previously said to be unlikely for an ATL unified Indian Empire to conquer let alone retain Nanzhao / Yunnan, what is intriguing about such an idea would be the easternmost borders being south of the Yangtze River and west of the Pearl River in part or most of Yunnan (53 on map below).

OTOH would it have been more feasible for the easternmost border of this ATL unified Indian Empire being west of the Lancang portion of the Mekong River that only includes a small part of Nanzhao/Yunnan?

I do not think any India empire will be able to conquer China due to Himalayas

Understand yet to be fair, the area was still under the rule of a few independent kingdoms prior to being vassalized by the Yuan in 1253 when it conquered the Dali kingdom prior to it’s later conquest by the Ming Dynasty in 1382.

That would be much easier than a India based power to do so, due to close geographical proximity

Perhaps, just envision a scenario where an ATL unified Indian Empire already manages to gain a presence in the ATL Myanmar/Burma area (beyond the OTL relations and cultural exchanges from antiquity between Indian and Myanmar/Burma) which would not be too far away from Nanzhao/Dali/Yunnan.

It is interesting how the nearby Tibetan Empire apparently had a presence in both Bengal and Nanzhao in OTL prior to the era of fragmentation.

That is certainly possible, with India being united and staying united early as it would be, there will be a eventual expeditions everywhere, such as Iran, Central Asia, Tibet and Burma, where there can be new provinces and places to annex

This New India will essentially be free to explore whatever it wants as it would be the uncheck power in the region and Indian ocean, perhaps even sending in Naval Expeditions to Australia and Madagascar
