Imagine instead if the Thuggee had remained a force in India. What course would their history have taken had a murderous cult continued to reign supreme in central India?

India would still be overpopulated...

What else would you expect from the nation that gave rise to the Kama Sutra?

Desperately in need of partition, IMO.

As remarkably politically incorrect as this sounds, I would love to have been a British "Administrator" in one of their colonies in the 1800s. What a privileged life you could live in colonial India, Singapore or Hong Kong as white man.....

There are a few places much like that left in Africa.
RE: Alternative History: India - nomad2u2001 - 07-27-2014 03:13 PM
I wonder what these places would look like if the colonial powers partitioned them differently. India could be several different countries, IMO. I think countries in Africa could do it also.
