Samrat

India, or Hindustan as it was known then, was not always what we see in the modern era. It once was a fragmented country with the Mughals ruling in the far North, The Empire of Vijayanagara to the South and many other kingdoms such as the Deccan Sultanate occupying the plateau in Central India.

In between all of this was the Hindu Raj, led by the popular Samrat Hem Chandra Vikramaditya. His popularity extended from Hindu warriors to Afghan ones in the north and the Bengalis in the east. All of these thought of Hindustan as their home as Hindustan at that time stretched from the Hindu Kush in the north right to the Sunderbans Delta in the east and the Indian Ocean in the South. The Mughals were frowned upon by the populace as foreign invaders - which they were. At this time, their rule was still limited in the north.

Imagine if they hadn't been allowed to extend to the south. Imagine if the Mughal Empire stalled before it reached its full glory and a different India emerged. Imagine that the empire of Hemu won the Second Battle of Panipat.

What leads on? Well, the jewel in the British crown missing. I think you can guess what that means...

Because of the Alternate Timeline in which a different army wins the Second Battle of Panipat, there will be other Points of Divergence which will occur and unfold, too.
