Also, though, is there anyone else here who is an expert on 20th century Indian history? 
I must say, Britain is away more vulnerable in this situation, India is a big hot spot in the case of a CP victory after so many sacrifices of India soldiers, there was already a German-Hindu conspiracy in OTL, in this case Berlin is going to invest even more in fermenting anti-British sentiment in India, could Gandhi be Germany's Lenin in India?I also think repercussions of India independence wouldn't affect the colonial subjects in Africa as a successful rebellion in African territory.
Thanks for sharing that!This is the best I can remember from my threads on the subject:
Wouldn't France have preferred to destroy its fleet if Germany was about to defeat it in World War I, though?
France didn't let Nazi Germany have their fleet during World War II in our TL, though.Nah, if its give the Germans the Fleet or watch Paris burn, turning over the fleet is the answer
The French strike an armistace in WWII, WWI wouldn't be any different- just that the French would accept the verdict of history and that Germany was the more powerful now
Actually, India's unity (as in, India's post-Partition unity in our TL) certainly makes sense if one views India as a de facto Hindu nation-state.![]()
Thank you very much for sharing all of this information with us!Except the unity of the "Hindu" religion is also, in many regards, a colonial construct that hides a colorful diversity of beliefs and practices.
An Indologist whose name now escapes me said something to the effect that considering "Hinduism" a unified religion is like saying that Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Baha'ism etc. are a single religion called "Abrahamism".
Also, India has almost as many Muslims as the whole Pakistan and a bunch of other religious minorities that, according to official state narrative, are not any less "Indian" than "Hindus".
Practice is different, but the people of the Congress party that shaped the country always emphasised religious diversity as a basic part of the national identity, as opposed to "Hindutva" (which is, to be fair, espoused by the party currently in charge, at least in a relatively mild form).
Well, we're gradually getting there with the help of the E.U.--but replace the word "Catholic" with the word "Christian."![]()
