As a Pakistani I have to say Jinnah separating Pakistan from india seems more like an evil plan from the british rather than a separation for Muslims.
British played with insecurities of power between nehru and jinha
No bro...Muslims asked for it...fought for it.
Direct action day
Yes and no.
The British were not aware in the 1940s that their days as a superpower were over. But they knew that they were not able to hold on to India by force any more, also it had become a financial liability rather than an asset. So they decided to leave.
BUT.
They had interests in West & central Asia ( oil and USSR) so they thought they needed a base for future operations because they didn't think the Congress party in India would play ball with them. ( correctly) . So they decided to create a brand new entity out of thin air at the desired location, religion was the excuse, and the Muslim league was a tool in the British hands, and E Pakistan later Bangladesh was the un intended side effect.
However, whatever has happened has happened and it is history, Pakistan people should try and find genuine leaders, not mullahs and generals to lead them. The day Pakistanis start thinking about themselves rather than Kashmir. Palestine. Indian Muslims etc and tell the generals, mullahs and politicians , forget about Muslims in the rest of the world, what about the Muslims in Pakistan? You will become a successful country.
Interesting statistics. More Muslims are killed by fellow Muslims in Pakistan EVERY year, than the total no of Muslims killed in India in ALL the religious riots in India for the last 75 year's. And Pakistanis and other Muslims keep barking about the ONE babri masjid demolition, but forget about the thousands of temples, churches and gurudwaras that have been destroyed in Pakistan, there are bomb blasts in mosques in Pakistan, dozens of them all done by fellow Muslims .
So Indian Muslims are safe happy and much better educated and prosperous than the average Pakistani.
@@adhirbose9910 No actually Churchill was in it if you watch the video by Dhruv Rathee he explains how and who among the founders were involved in it. It's nothing to do with religion that's what they said to sell to the public but in reality many things were going on in the background
@@adhirbose9910 But I do agree Mullahs are a big problem, I think any religion is massive business empire run by muolvis pundits, priests and rabbi's
As a baloch we want to be Indian 😊😊❤❤
Being Indian, I'm sorry pappu nehru said no when Balochistan wanted to join india just bcoz it was far !

Come to India, we welcome you.
If you are Indian by heart, then you are totally Indian.
If everything went perfect for india, it wouldn't have been under the rule of brutal invaders like mughals and britishers.
Before it had suffered for almost a millennia it used to produce the 33% of the world's GDP.
Mughals reduced it to 25% and destroyed the BHARAT ethnically and culturally; while British took the opportunity to defeat the Rajput that just won fighting mughals for so many centuries. In case everything went correct for India (BHARAT) it would be the most powerful and richest nation in the whole world. Richest not only by wealth, but also the richest culturally, scientifically and spiritually. Well at least it still holds the title of Spiritual hub of the current hub.
@@Nope-fx9jj But it would have taken much longer for the entire country to unite as one nation under one power. So, even if the british did not come, it would have gone back to smaller kingdoms all fighting each other and conquering each other over time, and then freeing themselves again, the same way it was before the Mughals came.
I love that on the first slide it says “Bulgaria” instead of “India”
Probably because the first flag by Gandhi looked just like the Bulgarian flag with the chakra. 😉

Why not start with the founding of the republic in the 16th century
Wouldn't the Dutch Republic be more interesting? Regions that were once part of the 17 provinces could all have been owned by it if the war capabilities were better or if Burgundy didnt let go of some of them like Julik and Bentheim

@@dripmogus6979 cringe
@@mithea6946 @willemvanoranje5724 All of Possible History's "What if everything went perfect?" videos for modern nations so far have points of divergence in the late modern/contemporary period, so I think 1815 would be one he's more likely to do. It might be because the earlier the start, the more unpredictable and crazy the timeline can get as it goes on; so a more recent start date can give much more realistic while still interesting results. I'm also curious with how he'd handle the Belgian Revolution given the short time until then. That being said a video about the Dutch Republic would also be really cool.
1:45 it's pronounced as Hin-Dee. Hindu refers to followers of Hinduism. While Hindi is a language. Not necessarily always spoken by Hindu

@@Nope-fx9jjyes. But he was just pointing out the mispronunciation
My brother, I'm sure u know how it's pronounced but that is not a helpful guide for the pronunciation. Westerners don't pronounce "Dee" like "thee" they'd probably mistake it for how the alphabet "D" itself is pronounced. it's as pronounced hin-thee not hin-dee.
@@Nope-fx9jj
My friend, not to be rude, buy India was made by the colonial times. Indians were never really united before that for long periods of time, having much the same story as China, except the Qing actually managed to hold on to power for long enough to cement China.
By contrast Indian identity is the product of nationalism, the various groups of people that had different languages (spoken and written) realizing that they are technically the same people and that they suffer the same struggle under foreign occupation.
Pakistan and India are brother nations, artificially separated on the grounds of religion!
@Wendeta-hq2cp The Bharat was a thing since vedic times.
Maybe it did face many samrajayas, but all those had the same identity~bharatiya. The way of life was also identical with some unique traits for each separate region. It originally followed a *WAY OF LIFE* known as *SANATAN DHARM.* You can't deny that fact by your fancy terms of a nation country. *Bharat* is much more than that. It's a whole *civilization* following the same way of life with their different traits.
Had the partition never happened, 50% of thr Indian problems would've already been resolved.
Lmao, keep dream. If Partition never happened, civil war would have, which would have led to partition anyway, creating even more issues for a broken India.
No they wouldn't India would have had a civil war between Muslims and Hindus.
Yeah it would have been possible, if RSS is not there.. but, with rise of communal forces in Hindu and Muslim extremists, civil war would have been inevitable.😢

The partition of South Asia was the biggest mistake of humanity...
South Asia represents around 25% off all of humanity and considering if it were unified, the subcontinent would be A LOT more richer, as you mentioned, but also much more peaceful. Much suffering and extreme hatred that the subcontinent is in, would have been avoided. For Indians or Pakistanis seeing this, please stop hating the other, it just further divides us.
You are not Considering the possibility of a civil war between Hindus and Muslims. If a United Indian Subcontinent survives for more than 5 years, I would take a drop from Mount Everest. There's no way a country with the same level of diversity as the Indian Subcontinent could even function properly, let alone flourish under a "democracy". The subcontinent would end up in a far worse situation than it is now.
@@OptiSuS c'mon man lets be optimistic here, there really is a possibility for a flourishing united South Asia. As the creator already said india already holds about 15% of the worlds muslims, I don't see why it won't be able to hold some more.
@@lunalingo4461the problem is not that India couldn't handle more muslims NOW, its that in 1947, extremist terrorist ish groups of both Hindus and Muslims were basically slaughtering people of the opposite religion for fun in places like Kolkata. That being said, especially with the spirit of this video, its not entirely impossibly for the subcontinent to not be divided if enough things go right in the first half of the 20th century
@@lunalingo4461 Many non-Muslim Indians still don't like those 15% though...
The British Raj was ~65% hindu. Definitely a majority, but not an extreme one. Take a look at nigeria, its situation is similar: used to be a colony of the UK and is 50% muslim and 45% christian. This is much more extreme, yet it worked out. It isnt perfect, but it definitely shows that religion isn't something that makes people go into a civil war.
As an indian I can assure you that India is not interested in making USA it's ally. For India it's just a strategic partner.
funny enough nowadays India is more allied with the BRICS than with the USA

I guess you could say India came to Bulgaria 🇧🇬 lmao
Hypothesis of why it was written bulgaria: the thumbnail of that video was used as an template
India's main problem are all the result of colonialism that put the country's economy down. So the first change we need to make is to ensure that Indian colonies are controlled by BULGARIA it's modern reforms and great people...
Wouldn't the Rohingya territories, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and the Maldives become part of the Indian state too? Or would that just be pushing India's luck?
Nepal and Bhutan were not part of british india so it would be kind of hard to control them, Myanmar and Sri lanka would be more possible
@@niknad5290Sri Lanka was a separate colony from British raj and Myanmar was and is much different from India to be a part of it
@@niknad5290 well Sikkim was independent too, but the thing is it had the possibility of becoming a state because India inherited the protectorship thing ever since Britain left. So, Nepal and Bhutan having a similar thing in place isn't too far-fetched.
Sri Lanka, the Maldives and the Rohingya territories might advocate and fight to join India if they ever start to gain some "Pan-Indian" consciousness. However, ideally, that would have to be before 1948, and also it would be hard to make it a reality. The British would really hate having to redraw borders, AND not everyone might unanimously agree with this supposed "Pan-Indian" movement. It's a possibility, but this is most likely pushing luck.
@@DonaldTrump97627 but it would be more likely than Nepal or bhutan

The cold war would change a little bit, but the biggest changes I do agree would hit in 2020's as it would have managed to play the world and bring a balance to the normal waring nations.

0:44 ah yes, my favorite indian nation, Bulgaria
As an aside, India actually DID pick a side in the Cold War. While not communist, the Sino Soviet split lead to the Soviet Union supporting India against China. This plus their Socialist leanings, and refusal to crack down on the Communist movement in India (which was democratically elected in several regional elections) lead to the United States supporting Pakistan over India, as well as China (which the US saw as the counterbalance to the Soviet Union after the Sino-Soviet split). While India itself was not communist, and can’t be said to have joined the soviet block, it was more or less Soviet Aligned.
Nah. USA chose pakistan, a country that attacked us within months after independence so we had no choice but to ally with USSR, still India was a part of NAM - Non allinged movement, it was made very clear that India will not be used as a battlefield by USSR or USA, what finally pushed us to be an open ally was 1971 war where USA and England and most European countries supported Pakistan militarily. They send nuclear warships to the Indian waters, not much room for a choice after that. Regarding the democratic choice of communists, it was natural after the exploitation by a capitalist led upper class which consisted mostly of foreigners.
USA and Kissinger help Pakistan to commit a genocide in Bangladesh(killed nearly 3 Mil and raped thousands bangladeshis) with US weapons and threatened to nuke India if they intervened and help Bangladesh.We gave refuge to several thousands of bengalis and asylum to their leader. If soviet helped us then I don't mind being a soviet aligned state. We were not that much of an ally but we had a soft corner for USSR ever since. Regarding communist in India we had several communist leaders who took part in the freedom struggle and they were elected democratically then why the US should be concerned to our internal matters? They are painted as a champion of free speech and freedom of expression but they have supported countless coups in other countries, helped dictators stay in power for American interests.
nobody noticing that the text on what if history went perfect for india said " What if history went perfect for Bulgaria "
There is a huge risk in this scenario. In our timeline, There was the emergency from 1975-1977. This saw all opposition leaders arrested and is often seen as a dark period in Indian democracy. It's likely that with the addition of Pakistan, the Muslim league would exist in India, perhaps leading to a Muslim rebellion and a civil war against Indira Gandhi.

Please do what if everything went perfect for Poland (starting from independence in 1918) It would be a great video

@@yets0 PLC would also make a good video, especially with the fact that Russia could have united with Poland thanks to the Vaasa dynasty.
I actually think the point of divergence starting in the Interbellum would be more interesting (atleast to me) because for some reason this idea isn’t much explored in althist. Also if Poland did some things different after independence, WW2 would be different or maybe even avoided for some time.
*1919
For starters, I'm guessing the proposed Slavic Commonwealth between Poland and Czechoslovakia would've happened successfully in this timeline but everything else is pretty much speculation.
@@lynxfresh5214 that is plausible, but the Zaolzie/Cieszyn issue might be too big of a problem in the relationship to peacefully unite

US dollar might lose its position as the global reserve currency in this scenario. Indian rupee would be capable of replacing the dollar, considering India would be stable. if US government continues its policies of printing money liberally, other countries may consider Indian rupee as replacement as India would have a similar size economy as US at mid 2020s or earlier for this timeline. Also if China collapses and it falls under Indian influence, and given India’s good diplomacy with the global south and Indian Ocean nations, USA might lose out on all of Asia, including japan, as they might look at India more favourably than USA, and they might even lose Australia and New Zealand as allies if India plays their cards right. So basically it would be Asia, Africa, Australia and constituents vs Americas and Europe.
Great content! In the future it would be really cool if you would consider making a video for the alternate timeline of the world from H.G. Wells's "The Shape of Things to Come". It's all already laid out in detail and differs from our timeline in a number of philosophically interesting ways.

The POD for this need to be earlier than 1947. Nehru needed to agree to decentralisation for the Non-Hindi speaking South and the majority Muslim West and Bengal. Maybe the rising tide of Hindutva is butterflied away, but who knows? If I was the British and I wanted a stable India, I’d have the Indus as the border of Western India
The most likely POD is 1942, with the Quit India movement never taking off. As a result, the INC isn't put into prison, and the Muslim League isn't allowed a near monopoly on the news to further their Communalist agenda. Thus, partition remains a fringe idea, assigned to the dustbin of history.
That would have been a disaster it wasn't a federal decentralisation that Nehru was asked to agree to....it was super fucked up stupid idea where a Muslim vote would be equal to 2 Hindu vote
As for south no one was asking for any autonomy there.....Southern agitation is quite recent
That's just unnecessarily splitting Sindh in half and also taking away a big part of Punjab. Maybe Give KPK back to Afghanistan and let Baluchistan decide whatever the hell they want to do.
As a Bengali, that would be absolutely horrible. Bengali always was and will remain a part of India.
You need to learn a lot more about the history of India before making such fallacious statements.
Hindutva born after rise ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISM, especially after caliphate movement in turkey , when india is struggling with british, extreme islamist want a separate nation, which create conflict in other communities too!, thats why hindutva born as reaction

1:22 No. The Partition of India was a grave mistake that destroyed lives from the very start. The subcontinent should have been unified under a single state, even if it would have needed to be more even more decentralized.

India's downfall started way before British colonization, when Mughals invaded it. Otherwise India would have been nearly a truely perfect country. But still we getting stronger again, and will make a comeback to the first spot!
By that logic the downfall started even before that during delhi sultanate rule
As a overseas Pakistani, I consider India my mother land because my grandparents migrate from India ( Ambala
) to faisalabad Punjab Pakistan..... I always wondered why India was always to fail protect borders like everyone came and invaded India 🥺 from all directions like Mughals came from Uzbekistan,
Nadir khan came from Iran , mehmood gazi came from Afghan bloodline and British came from thousands of miles....my indian motherlands leaders are not capable of protecting or geophysical position or what
? Can any one answer me 😊
No
@@zainulabdin1720 they protected thier motherland
This is the reason why a billion Hindus still exist otherwise everyone would have got converted like your ancestors
Not the invasion, it moreso started declining somewhere during the much later years of Aurangzeb's rule to after his death
India never really was that great or rich, they were too divided, Indian empires never lasted or consolidated enough to make a unified Indian identity (kind of like the Han in china)
4:48 I'm so glad I wasn't tabbed out for this part lol
I would've been so confused.
I saved this into my underrated playlist when I realized this channel doesn't get 400 views from youtube for 20 minute videos anymore, there's still hope for humanity
Can we do a 'if everthing went terrible for a country' ie trying to get the smallest US/britian/india possible without removing them
Best video about Bulgaria I've ever seen 😆 0:48
At 0:45 on the title card part it says "What if history went perfect for Bulgaria" instead of India
Would you also consider making a ''What if Everything went pefect for Serbia?'' I was keen on to ask after I saw your ''What if everything went perfect for Bulgaria'' and started watching your content. Great Work keep it up!
Did anyone notice at 0:46, 1 hour after posting, that the title says "What if everything went perfect for BULGARIA"
Ghandi was actually a bulgarian nationalist
As a friend of a Pakistani-Indian, I see this as a mid win
there is nothing as Pakistani Indian.
All south asian subcontinent people are Indians
Excellent video! I'd love to see a video exploring "What if everything went well for the Scandinavia." As I see it there were four personality types: 1) Vikings who raided and conquered, 2) Merchants who traded far and wide, 3) Settlers who crossed the ocean and went down rivers, and 4) Homebodies who ran the kingdoms, managed the cities and towns, and kept the economy running.
I see two changes that have to happen to encourage success: these types worked together better and those who ventured forth didn't assume what worked in Scandinavia would work everywhere. Had this happened, their expansion into North America and Eastern Europe would have gone much better. They may have been able to dominate the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, take and keep Britain and Ireland. They might have built a hybrid cultures, rather like Alexander the Great did for his conquests. They would end up with a diversified economy, a strong navy, and subordinate or allied nations all around. They would be a great power as Europe, being the ones who colonized the Western Hemisphere but starting from Canada rather than Central America.
Petition to get the what if everything went perfect for italy
Was this a reupload? I swear I remember this channel making this India scenario before
Yes, he did. However, in the original video (the very old one) India has a economy smaller than japan, and India is an US ally. Reason for the two videos being very different: in the old video, India doesn’t reform its “socialist” economy, and probalby doesn’t use its huge muslim population to influence other muslim nations.
Would love to see "what if everything went perfect for the European Union"
nah
Can you do this for croatia, like in the battle where the hungarians defeated the croatians or at another time
Remember that time when you made a video abot all the ancient empires and promised that the medieval ones are next?
Great vid. Please can you do if everything went right for Nationalist China?
@@millio6238Ah yes the nationalists who are feverently anti communist are gonna align with the Soviets. This makes sense
As a Bangladeshi I see this as a absolute lose.We are proud we are not part of India
As a Pakistani same
Also I'm happy for independent Bangladesh too. Bangladesh should have been independent from the start
@@haroonafridi231agree but yr Pakistan vs afganistan is effecting Our Trade with central Asia and gas pipeline. Thanks to for the solution.

Just a fact , and we never tried to capture them like pakistan but instead we chose protecting them .
It was a win-win
No Radicles in India, more liberal nation.

Could you do a what if everything was perfect for Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union. I’d be curious to see the changes up to today.
when you show nehru as founder - i leave
India would be Intellectually very developed ❤❤❤
If everything went perfect for india, it wouldn't have been under the rule of brutal invaders like mughals and britishers.
Before it had suffered for almost a millennia it used to produce the 33% of the world's GDP.
Mughals reduced it to 25% and destroyed the BHARAT ethnically and culturally; while British took the opportunity to defeat the Rajput that just won fighting mughals for so many centuries. In case everything went correct for India (BHARAT) it would be the most powerful and richest nation in the whole world. Richest not only by wealth, but also the richest culturally, scientifically and spiritually. Well at least it still holds the title of Spiritual hub of the current hub.
I would really like to see "What if everything went perfect for Ukraine?", starting in 1917/1918 onwards.
You videos are quiet logical and looks like you have considered some important factors but a better and detailed research on certain topics would make it better.
0:49 “what if history went perfect for Bulgaria” 😭😭
A good attempt. However I suggest few important milestones.
First, it could have been Bharat only and not India/Bharat, as it is currently, if everything went perfectly and there wouldn't have been partition.
Then there is the possibility that the then PM Mr. Nehru could allow for Nepal to be a part of India and after that NOT send aid to China as they made their incursion in Tibet.
Lastly, Bharat to not have had Nehru as it's first PM and the rightfully Congress elected Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in his place.
That said, it is an incorrect assumption that things went bad from British Raj. No. It started a Millenia ago with the Islamic invasions.
You know you should pick another candidate for the prime ministership than Sardar Patel because unfortunately, he passed away before the first election of the republic of India i.e. Bharat.
Nepal would have never joined, and no the problem didn't start with your boogeyman Islamic invasion. The problem started when the British tried to artificially group together people's that didn't like or trust each other.
To this day India has inter-state fighting, and I don't mean political squabbling, I mean legitimate guns and bombs fighting between states that have led to deaths.
@@blackkn1ght Britishers did not unify India, it is because of the people. Else, French grouped Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam Into a single country, we know it broke up when they left.
....
Man, now I'm sad for IRL India, seeing how different things could be
its still an asian superpower and its one of the fastest growing economies in the world, india's gonna surpase japan and germay to become the 3rd largest economy in 2050 so theres not really a difference other then that india would've done this earlier and been larger/stronger
@@HabbyHabsGNG India is a country fast approaching a population crisis, with some of the worst income inequality in the world. Combine this with the fact that India, being a mostly tropical country, will be struck by increasingly powerful and more numerous natural disasters in the coming years along with major droughts and floods in regions not in range of typhoons. And if all that wasn't enough already, India still has major unresolved demographic issues, with religious and ethnic minorities facing increasing discrimination from right wing populist parties endorsed by the incumbent government. Not to mention actively hostile relationships with two powerful neighbours, and a serious lack of allies with a strong military or economic presence in the region.
It's fun to throw around numbers and dream big, but GDP is not and has never been an adequate indicator of national development.
@@fl11tswhich minorities
I would think twice before saying that, cause, India's feud with pakistan and grave million deaths kinda pushing india further to develop and protect in al fronts of life, (like a competition, but the cost is way high (deaths of million) , we came to back to square one again ,from now on it just growth for India, surpassing china, russia eventually US
@HabbyHabs not 2050, that will happen within 2030
Long await fulfuiiled❤
Absolute win
*loss
Real
As a Pakistani I have always vouched for this. India should have never split
Simply wow 😲. Awesomely explained the what if scenario of the Akhand Bharat (undivided India) 🇮🇳
United India looks good on map only, but keeping current situation in mind, where India is increasing moving away from Secularism and becoming an intolerant Hindu Extremist State, partition was indeed the best thing to ever happen. Otherwise, Hindu Extremism would have taken root in Unified India, immediately or some time later after 1947 partition, and that would have resulted in Extreme Violence and massacres perpetrated by RSS, BJP, and other Hindu Majoritarian extremists, culminated in ethnic cleansing, never seen before in the History of Mankind. So, Thank God for the Partition.
As a part indian I love this
0:44 It says what if history went perfect for Bulgaria
Fun fact : When treaty of Lucknow was signed between Congress and Muslim league it was agreed that India would remain united and Muslim majority states will get their own government but later it was broken because everyone got on with their disagreement again

Hey possible history. I wondering if you will do “what if everything went perfect for Iran. Have a great time.
