India was united even before Brits arrived at the scene . What makes one think , it wouldn't have happened again ?
Many part of India were ruled by different Monarchs and Republic but Mauryan's United India .
Many parts of India were ruled by different Home grown and Foreign rulers but Mughals United India .
What makes one think , if Brits weren't around , No one could have achieved the same feat .
in 1700 with around 100 Million population and World GDP share of 23-25% , India was one of the rich nation Economically .
Britain united India and that is historical fact. We can guess on what India is like without the British but these are all guesses.
In 1700, India is not a nation, it's an estimation of economic activity of a geographical expression at best.
