A query, say a Hindu dynasty manages to unite India behind itself in around the mid 16th century, and is still around holding it when the age colonialism comes along, and say by some luck they manage to prevent vast swathes of their empire falling under colonial rule, what consequences would this have for the united Indian Empire, as well as for colonial nations such as the Brits, the French and the Portuguese. I'm thinking in scenarios where Goa and Mumbai become part of the Indian empire around the 18th century, after driving out the Brits and the Portuguese from there, whilst the rest is held by the empire.
