AHC/PC/WI: Pakistan and Afghanistan One Nation

I don't know whether it be called Pakistan or Afghanistan but can such a state exist?

If you had an earlier POD like Britain staying put in Afghanistan after the second Afghan war you could probably do it. But you'd have to make the British want to stay put, which doesn't make much sense to them (unless Russia is up to shenanigans of course).

It would take an earlier English POD. It might not make sense to just combine the two since parts of both are almost "ungovernable." However, you could have had a different split of India and Pakistan and split Afghanistan. So, part of what's now Afghanistan would be with most of Pakistan. You might have some of Afghanistan with other neighbors and a smaller, more manageable/homogenous country left over.

But the problem was Afghanistan never to concede to Britain.

Maybe an independent Sikh state forces the Muslim portions of Ondia save Bangladesh to join Afghanistan under a different name if possible?
