So, in 1857 there was a rebellion against the British in India. In OTL, it failed and led to the establishment of the British Raj with direct rule. So, if this rebellion were to succeed in an ATL, what would it's affects on British power and prestige be? What would happen to the rest of the Empire, especially the parts that are yet to be conquered such as British Africa and possibly Egypt? Is the Suez canal still built? What happens to India? Does it stay unified or does it balkanize into several States? If so, does it stay that way? How are it's relations to it's neighbors as well as the European powers, especially Britain? Are there parts of India that fall into another Euro power's sphere of influence, even loosing outright independence?

TL;DR: How are international affairs after an earlier independence of India and how the national affairs of Britain and India after such an event?
