The subcontinent of India was traditionally divided into many smaller states. In the north, the Muslims prevailed, ruling in the Sultanate of Delhi, but also in Bengal and the Deccan which split off from Delhi. In the south, Hindu states survived; the Chola Empire soon was replaced by the Pandyan Empire, which later itself was replaced by Vijayanagar, founded as a counterweight against the Muslims.

| - The subcontinent of India was traditionally divided into many smaller states. In the north, the Muslims prevailed, ruling in the Sultanate of Delhi, but also in Bengal and the Deccan which split off from Delhi. In the south, Hindu states survived; the Chola Empire soon was replaced by the Pandyan Empire, which later itself was replaced by Vijayanagar, founded as a counterweight against the Muslims. Generally, India developed with much less external influence; the Europeans arrived centuries later than in OTL, and there never were any invasions of Mongols or their successors. China, during the periods when it was stronger, exerted a certain influence in the NE however, and Persia actually managed to conquer Delhi later.
