What if - in an alternate timeline - European competition ensured that none of the European states would gain significant territory within India. Small trading ports would still exist, but the Europeans fail to gain more beyond that point. How would this alternate independent India develop in the 19th century and beyond?

What if the turks migrated into the north european plain instead of persia and anatolia

This isn't that unrealistic, if you just have the Marathas
A). Win the battle of Panipat, thus letting them conquer the Mughals and not losing so many men
B). Peshwa Rao doesn't work with the British to weaken the Maratha empire for his own gain.

Nawabate of Bengal actually tried to kick the British out of the subcontinent, but failed so hard that the entirety of Bengal was lost to British. A scenario where Bengal won?

When British left from India, India was broken into 562 region, British didn't unify India, Indians unified themselves

[bbdanny]

keep making more alternate colonial history, it's a really nice to see some less popular topics being covered

[gobruhhhh]

honestly, the unification of india without the british just depends on whether we could have our own mao zedong, with us being as cruel as the Americans and as expansionist as the Russians

[awesomestevie]

Well the Sikhs had a military that rivaled the Brits in the first Sikh Anglo war, they were the last to be annexed but were facing a civil war from government vs the military itself including generals on the government and britians side when the war happened

I LOVE how Indiana and Ohio are thrown into the Arabian Sea to provide a sense of scale for Americans. That's a very cute idea, and it's something I wish I'd see more often on maps like this.

Now I’m wondering what would have happened if the Industrial Revolution happened in an Indian state instead of in Britain

[Baller]

I think the Marathas would just conquer the whole Indian language family and Dravidian language family because why not ?

[brtuh]

another branching point couldve been a maratha victory in the third battle of panipat which causes the empire never to stop snowballing and the marathas inflicting massive defeats on the british in the first and second anglo maratha wars

[MrSomervillen]

What about doing this scenario a different way— like what if India wasn’t colonized *because* a single Indian state unified the subcontinent before 1750?

[SouvikPaul-bzsl]

It is not British but Sir sardar Vallabhbhai Patel who unifies more than 650+Princely states.🇮🇳🙏into India।
The British divided India by religion and created a radical State called Pakistan to counter India.

Do you remember my Buddhism suggestion?? What if Buddhism remained dominant in central, western and south asia including indian subcontinent.

Another upload from my favorite small channel! You seriously have quality comparable to the big alternate history YouTubers, without a doubt better than Whatifalthist was in his early days. I really hope you grow.

[obamadrip]

you should make a part 2, the impacts this would have on ww1 or ww2 would be immense

[yeeyee]

Also, just realised, the hypothetical Maratha empire looks like a bizzare Mexican empire 😂😂😂

[limeliciousmapping]

Lovely idea! I really enjoyed watching this video!

Also just to add as a south Indian: South India is also very close to each other culturally. Our languages are pretty similar to each other and with time it is very easy to learn other south Indian languages if you are a Native South Indian. Also ethnically we are Dravidians, unlike the Indo-Aryan hindi speakers to the north. The south is more likely to unify under a loose Federation than the North because there is a lot of infighting and religious differences in the north compared to the South which is mainly Hindu with a few notable muslims in Hyderabad. However this is probably the most unrealistic scenario India is too valuable to not be colonised. Even if the British fail the first time they will just come back stronger ad take over the entire sub-continent.

Anyway, It's great to see my country in your videos keep up the good work.
