If India become independent without partition, it is likely to follow an independent foreign policy similar to the one in OTL. A united India, much stronger than the OTL India, would not join both blocs in cold war but would join the Non-Aligned Movement more emphatically. If the western bloc do not exhibit a negative attitude as in OTL, as Pakistan does not exist in this TL, the reason for developing an anti-US attitude does not arise. Hence OTL closeness towards USSR also might be absent. Even today, after the end of cold war, Russia continues to be more popular in India than USA. The relation with China depends on the Chinese attitude towards India. Pakistan, being absent, China could be the enemy number one. Relations with EU will be same as in in OTL.

And what about muslim world, Sorry i did not post it before
 
Sino-Indian relations could be wildly different. It really all depends on
1 If the two nations would like to fight over useless land
2 Sino Soviet Split or not
3 Zhou Enlai (a strong proponent of a good relationship or even alliance with India)and how long he lives.
4 Anglo-Indian relations
 
If Pakistan does not exist, India will have more cordial relations with the Muslim countries. The fact that India will have the greatest Muslim population also would help the relations.
 
How big will modern day India population will be and what do you think its religious demographic will be

Should be about the same as India + Pakistan + Bangladesh in OTL. I thought Pakistan might have fewer people because its population growth is notably higher than that of India, due to its lagging social development, but actually Pakistan's population growth since 1950 has been a hair lower than that of Indian Muslims (factor of 4.65 vs. 4.87). The violence of partition killed a huge number of people in absolute terms, but relative to Greater India's population it was small, less than 1%.

66% Hindus
32% muslims
2% every one else
