Since Faeelins trhead asks the rather trite standard question that mostly gets changed in AH.com
I in my neverending quest to oppose AH cliches, and to prevent too large states (no, Germany and Italy are not too large!) ask the opposite question:
Was Indian union inevitable? I mean, the Indian Republic seems like 80% or 90% of the Indian Raj to me. Yet its compromised of quite many ethnicities, many of them even more or less territorialy coherent. To say nothing about the various principaliteis (which didnt follow ethnical lines, of course).
So is there a possibility that upon independance India well and truely splinters?
