What if British India was not partitioned into India and Pakistan in 1947, and instead there was one united entity on the sub-continent. What would the foreign policy of this nation be, especially during the Cold War? Pro-US? Pro-Soviet? Would it have maintained closer ties with Britain than OTL India did?

Also, would a United India eventually seek to develop nuclear weapons? Or would it decide that, with no threat from Pakistan, it didn't need them?

Could a United India have actually succeeded? Or would civil wars between the Hindus and Muslims have inevitably broken out?
