India with no Durrani

okay, Thande's thread got me thinking.... if there was no Durrani empire (say it got defeated early on by some nation, preventing expansion), what effects would this have on India? stronger Mughals? stronger Maratha?

and would it have any effect on colonization??

Stronger Maratha, certainly. Not sure about the Mughals.

A less united and martial Sikh culture, as in OTL this partly came about due to Durrani brutality and occupation.

The effects on Persia are also interesting...
