Historically, in India, Persian was a major language, used to a level comparable to English in India today. It offered an immense amount of vocabulary to Hindustani, and Persian is where the Urdu poetry tradition is ultimately rooted. In fact, the fall of the use of the Persian language in India is something that I've found to be similar to the fall of the French language in Europe. With a POD after the Battle of Samugarh, how can you keep Persian as a greatly-used language in India?
