The same thing that happens to all of Britain's colonies in a CP-victory; Britain keeps it.
Don't see how the Germans could occupy it. They can't get there by sea, and the overland route via Persia is horrendous. It would be a case of sending some arms by U-boat to Indian rebels, if Britain's loss of prestige is such as to produce a revolt.
More likely, though, if we lose WW1 we get a Labour or Lib-lab government which defuses things by granting self-government, ie we jump before we are pushed. .
The real question really should be What happens to French Indian Holds if CP wins?
Even if Germany took control over them via a treaty. It would be more likely that the territories would just be simply absorbed into India proper. The land was only around 200 Square miles and a somewhat small population.The real question really should be What happens to French Indian Holds if CP wins?
