I have been strangely fascinated with this concept for long time although I have no idea is there even any sense behind it. Anyway, the basic idea is that Britain somehow gets modern Indonesia while doesn't have any areas in India. What sort of POD could produce something like this? I was thinking France doing better in the War of Austrian Succession or the Seven Years' War. Later Britain could try to compensate the loss of India by expanding its influence in East Indies. I must admit though that my knowledge is rather limited when it comes to effects of those wars in Asia.

It would be also interesting to hear your ideas how Britain having East Indies would affect British culture.
