The Gurkani are beginning to show their cracks since the Indian subcontinent ain’t exactly happy being ruled by foreigners for so long, especially with the reactionary prime minister voted in trying to promote Islam over the other faiths. It could get ugly.
The Gurkani have ruled in India for
centuries. They're not foreign anymore. In fact, I'd argue that - just as the Gurkani have exerted some form of influence on "India" - "India" has been exerting some form of influence on
them. It's like they've been gradually shifting towards a mean - not wholly "original Indian" and not wholly "foreign".
Besides, the "Indian subcontinent" is an oversimplification; the Gurkani rule over thousands of different ethnicities and languages. Yes, there's a standard language, but a "collective identity" definitely doesn't exist. The Deccan, for example, is still not really considered a part of "core India" - if you want to use that term. But I do agree with you. Hassan Barha is bad for the country. Just because Islam has the plurality doesn't mean it should now be the official religion.
The Chinese are strong and getting northern territory helped, but their culture is calcifying and so they could use a shake-up, lest their service industry starts suffering.
That's true, though I think 天下 doesn't place much importance on "cultural calcification" (whatever that means). We've pretty much occupied the same place on the geopolitical map since AD 1000, so I doubt there'll be much suffering at all.
