WE HAD BEEN THERE BEFORE. A time so cruel for us. A time when we endured the torture inflicted upon us. Forced to part away from our identity, freedom and love. But what would be India’s history if Aurangzeb had not issued the farman?

Well for starters, India would have discovered the route to England via the Cape of Good Hope. They probably would have voyagers conducting expeditions to search for new lands to trade. Britain at that time did not that much to sell. India would have taken Britain’s market on storm, because of the spices and variety of natural resources. This would have made India powerful than ever.

During that time, silver was on great demand for creating swords, utensils etc. As India, where silver had not been discovered by that time would probably be exported from Britain. This would be a one-way win for India as Britain would have been heavily dependent on India for almost everything.

This would have caused a vast cultural change among these two countries, predominantly in Britain as India (in this scenario) has more power in Britain. Who knows, maybe Hindi was the official language of Britain or India would have been the most powerful country now?

We have seen the cultural, economic and political changes if India had captured Britain. But what about the conditions in India? Well, India would have been a much powerful country then ever before. It would have great education system, proper housing for its citizen and oh, the monarch concept.

There wouldn’t have been any riots or even protest because India was its own country! There would have been no Swadeshi Movement, Jallianwala Bagh massacre or even Independence!

In a nutshell, India would have been a country of its own will; just ruled by different dynasties. It would have been called the world’s most powerful country. People wouldn’t have to live under the slavery. Oh, I wish this would have had happened!
