So, you don't think that some arms and gold are going to help the Muslim League that much?Ottomans have no navy. Even in an ATL like my first one where the Ottomans get a big wank. And the routes overland are quite a travel on the roads of the day. It is not that the Ottomans could not sneak a regiment or two into India. It is just that the UK can easily counter these troops in the high passes of the Afghan lands. Now German and/or the Ottomans might well try to smuggle arms to these guys. Maybe send a little silver or gold. Or maybe allow some leaders to stay in Ottoman lands. But these actions are really just symbolic.
Also, wouldn't the infrastructure in this region improve over time and thus facilitate easier travel between the Ottoman Empire and India?
