What does everyone think the effects of United India would be (I would think mostly good-no violence surrounding partition, no wars in Kashmir. The subcontinent would probably be much better off today in this TL).
United India in terms of India/Pakistan/Bangaldesh means much less violence, yes I 100% agree.
But I as said in other thread, India itself should be split up, just not into India/Pakistan/Bangladesh.
At the very least, the Dravidian South should be it's own country, with Chennai its capital. North India can remain intact (New Delhi Capital), but East India like Assam and the rest of the "Seven Sister States" (Capital: Agartala) don't really fit into the current or the ATL Indian Union. Never really has, but since the British starting bringing missionaries to those areas and states like Nagaland are now 90% Christian, they are very very different than either Muslim India or Hindu India. And historically these areas had NOTHING to do with India, but were only connected to India by the British Raj. Makes sense that the Seven Sister States would be its own country.
The British Raj brought groups, peoples, and lands together that didn't belong. If the split is not going to occur with India/Pakistan/Bangladesh, it needs to occur with
1.) India (Hindustan or Bharat, I prefer Bharat) (Nothern India going from Jammu/Kashmir to Maharasthra including Pakistan and Bangladesh)
2.) Dravida (Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh)
3.) Land of Seven Sisters (Seven Sister States [OTL Eastern India])
Hard not to see at least this division happening, IMHO.
