For my timeline, I need a divergence after 975 CE, but roughly around that time. I'd like a more stronger, united India, so if the Muslim Dynasties are avoided, or less occur, perhaps larger, more succesful empires could form. I'd probably have the Mughals though; butterflying away the Taj Mahal and other Mughal works seems blasphemous!

It would be better if the European powers didn't have interest in gaining total control over India. I'd quite like to have them support regional powers of India for economic dominance (complete with treaty ports), and in a large-scale war, have India united. However, I have no idea how to go about this, or if this is just ASB. I just really don't like the idea of a European India.
