In an Alternate Timeline, Britain never colonized Indian Subcontinent and modern-day South Asia is many times richer than East Asia

In an Alternate Timeline, Britain never colonized Indian Subcontinent and modern-day South Asia is many times richer than East Asia.

In that timeline, the Industrial Revolution and great religious renaissance happened in India after they had routed and chased away all Europeans from the Indian Ocean region in the early 1700s, and they were the ones to lead the world in steam engine and ironclad warships by the 1800s with that technology spreading to the rest of Southeast Asia and East Asia early before the current timeline of Japan's Meiji Restoration (1860s).

The soul that incarnated as "Tipu Sultan" of this timeline is supposed to play the most important role in that other timeline in making India great.

Tibet is an independent country in this timeline and is under an alliance with United India.

Most people would be speaking Tamil and Hindu instead of English, and the Extraterrestrials appear early on in the timeline by the year 1950 with the Pleiadians getting the deal with the United States of India over the Greys ( WW2 never happened ).

Other than this timeline, there are also other timelines where African empires like Mali became major global powers that colonized Americas too and won wars with the Spanish and Portugese to assert control over the Atlantic.
