As we all know, the Mughal Empire, under Emperor Aurangzeb practically unified India during the late 17th century with Aurangzeb's successor as Emperor of the Mughal Empire Bahadur Shah I strengthened the Mughal Empire and helped solidify it's grip over India, helping the Mughal/Indian Empire survive the encroaching European powers advancing into India, but what if the Mughals didn't more or less unify India? What PODs might have been necessary for that? Aurangzeb doing away with religious tolerance (he was well-known as a very devout Muslim historically)? The Marathas being luckier? A combination of the two?
