Greater Indian Raj (Battle of Belusium)

The Greater Indian Raj, was a nation located in in the Indian sub continent, that was a regional power, though it remained secondary to the Chinese Empire. The Raj surived for over four hundred years, before it was annexed by the United Islamic Republic. After the Second World War, and the dissolution of the UIR, the Raj was refounded.

Foundation and Expansion
Initally the Indian subcontinent was under the control of a multitude of sultanates, the most promiment of which was the Dehli sultanate. However, in the year 1515, a series of native revolts began to gather throughout India, leading to the foundation of a Raj in Southern India, where the sultans' power was more limited.

The Indian Raj was officially born after native Hindi revolts, known the "Indian War of Independence", expelled the reigning sultan, and the leader of the rebllion, Ajit, proclaimed himself Maharajah of India. After securing the position, Ajit set out to take control of the remaining Indian region. He invaded the Pakistani region, and defeated the Timurid forces in that region.

Later, Durai, the son of Ajit (the Great), also invaded Sri Lanka and Bengal, bringing them both under Indian control. With Hindu control over India solidified, and the Raj in full power, Durai ended the era expansion. Towards the end of his reign, he sent out diplomatic missions to other nations, with special emphasis to the Egyptian Empire.

Nepalese War
The Indian Raj's era of prosperity came to an end, when they launched a failed war against the Chinese Empire in an attempt to claim Nepal. In 1764, under the rule of Raj Guatama II, an Indian force (consisting of 100,000 infantry, 50 calvalry, and 1000 elephants) marched into the Himalayas.

In response, Emperor Lee Xong Juwen ordered 90,000 soldiers of the Imperial Army into Nepal, where they met the Indians on the outskirts of Kathmandu. The Battle of Kathmandu ended with an Indian victory, and the Chiense were repelled. Unfortunately, the Chinese did not retreat, and remained in the Himalayas. The harsh conditions of the Himalayas began to take a toll on the Indian forces, and many forces, especially the elephants, began to die.

Taking advantage of this, the Chinese launched another assault on Indian territory. The Indian forces, now severely weakened, and poorly equipped, were defeated, and expelled from Nepal. Emperor Juwen soon ordered a naval invasion of India, and the Indian poor naval forces were easily defeated. Eventually, Guatama sued for peace.

After that, India was forced into a more submissivie relationship with the Chinese, and by extension, the Egyptians. Trade advantages were imposed on the Indians, that were very favorable to the Egyptians ahd Chinese.
