  1. AHC: Hindu equivalent of a the Crusades

    I wonder then could a potential crusade have arisen from south india? Keeping in mind the cholas and various other South Indian kingdoms did expand a lot in the region.

  2. AHC: Hindu equivalent of a the Crusades

    QUOTE="Kcirtap, post: 24270770, member: 153068"] Wouldn't work because the Huns were Shaivites and there was a huge Shaivite population in the Gupta Empire. Could you elaborate on this? I never knew the huns were shivaite and as far as I knew their religion was mostly unknown

  3. AHC: Hindu equivalent of a the Crusades

    Ok just a bit of theorising but the Guptas predate Islam significantly. What if they declared Holy War on the Hunic peoples invading india? Keeping in mind in IRL they did put up a significant fight it's not impossible to imagine they'd be able to do that.

  4. AHC: Hindu equivalent of a the Crusades

    Hmm this raises an interesting point assuming the Guptas remained unified could easily say the storming of the Somnath Temple to be sort of a rallying point. Also the Guptas could see it as an opportunity to expand into lands beyound their stronghold.

  5. AHC: Hindu equivalent of a the Crusades

    That's one thing I realised Hinduism doesn't really have a centralised sort of leader who could call for such a thing. So maybe one fundamental change is that Adi Shankara establishes a more centralised leadership structure in Hinduism seeing the divide between the various sects. As he's also...

  6. AHC: Hindu equivalent of a the Crusades

    I've always been facisinated with fact the fact that Hinduism never really had a holy war in the manner of the Crusades. Is their any point when a hindu version of a holy war of the crusades could have occured?

  7. What if the assassination of Malcolm X failed?

    Malcolm X was born in 1925 so he might well live long enough to see Barrack Obama elected in 2008. Given that he was extremely intelligent and articulate could see him taking up the reins of the movement after dr king's passing.

  8. Legendary real people

    I'm not sure of he strictly counts as a conqueror but King Ashoka from India definitely fits the bill. His reformation from bloodthirsty conqueror sounds like something from a myth. Add to that his largely successful buddhist missionary activity and he definitely comes across as a legendary...

  9. Indian Marine Corps: An Alternate Indian Military History

    Any ideas you would have for potential future deployments?

  10. Indian Marine Corps: An Alternate Indian Military History

    Ok strictly non realistic but what if the event that leads to the marines forming is khan noonien singh?

  11. Indian Marine Corps: An Alternate Indian Military History

    I'm also wondering one thing. Marines tend to be trained to a higher standard than the average infantryman purely by the nature of their jobs. It won't be long before they're deployed into UN peacekeeping actions. I wonder of given a more expansionist indian foreign policy we'll see more action...

  12. Indian Marine Corps: An Alternate Indian Military History

    Had a timeline planned at the back of my head where a coup takes place in India Or escalates to all out war but can't figure out a way to actually see india governed by a military regime

  13. Indian Marine Corps: An Alternate Indian Military History

    I'm not sure the then govt would be willing to escalate the war that much. The Kargil War was a very measured response by the BJP government. It's worth noting indian forces didn't really breach the LOC or try to escalate it by attacking other fronts

  14. Indian Marine Corps: An Alternate Indian Military History

    This actually brings up an interesting conversation. If india developed a marine Corps Pakistan would to given the relationship between the two nations.

  15. Indian Marine Corps: An Alternate Indian Military History

    This does raise an interesting idea for a timeline what if the USSR encouraged india to go into Pakistan in the 1980s? Pakistan had just backed an insurgency in Punjab so can imagine India might well be angry over that. That would be an interesting idea for a Marcos led marine force to do.

  16. Indian Marine Corps: An Alternate Indian Military History

    I honestly don't think india would become involved in Afghanistan with Soviets purely out of pure practiciality. Also sending a force into Afghanistan ignoring the numerous logisticial issues could very well draw Pakistan into the war directly. Forgive the spelling issues typing on my way home...

  17. Indian Marine Corps: An Alternate Indian Military History

    What id Cuba wasn't there as a mercernary force if anything they suffered pretty grievous economic effects from deploying that far abroad.

  18. Indian Marine Corps: An Alternate Indian Military History

    There is going to be overlap. The MARCOS right now do perform a similiar function in terms of the Navy right now. It's not unreasonable to assume Marines and Commandos would be going on similiar missions together.

  19. Indian Marine Corps: An Alternate Indian Military History

    So ok here are some more interesting hypothetical conflicts where the believability is stretched but makes for some interesting story ideas: 1) Operation Lal Dora part 2: india does use RAW in Mauritius, so similiar events threaten the indian community years later. 2) Operation Spear: The...
