.... like, Bengali China ?!
Problems to be overcome in order to achieve this ? Kinda many. Mainly two huge things that lie between Bengal and China : Tibet and Burma. The roof of the world and a country that's just a mountain barrier away.
Until now I have found no remote possibility for any Bengali attempts to pull a Manchu on China to be able to be begun at all. IIRC there was a practice of restriction against sailing overseas applied in the country. Wonder if that is to be overcome, it can pave a better connection with China. I also don't know the slightest how the Bengalis perceived their eastern neighbors as, or their communication with people east of them in general, how far-reaching their attention was to the east, etc. Will there be anyway to deal with all of these problems by at least 5 centuries, so that a fairly better land connection with China can be established, with a PoD no earlier than 500 AD and no later than 700 AD ?
I've been all but fevering myself with the mental image of a Dynasty of Indian origin taking over the Mandate of Heaven.



But if it'd just to have areas of present day Bangladesh to be conquered by the Chinese through a land route than the PoD can be as late as 1100. Whether it's for the Bengali dynasty scenario or the later scenario, must be realized before the year 1500
Anno Domini.
Well, that's all I guess. Any daring takers ?
