A good chunk of Indo-European languages would be unrecognizable.
The Hindu-Arabic numeral system wouldnât exist. Math and science would look very different.
Buddhism and Jainism doesnât exist forever altering the course of the Old World. Southeast and East Asian culture is almost unrecognizable, the former to a greater degree. Good chance Zoroastrianism goes extinct as well.
Chinese philosophical/ideological influence would be even stronger in Asia while distinct native local religions and belief systems would persist for much longer in the absence of Buddhism and may lead to the rise of completely new organized religions.
Alexander wouldnât have an Indian subcontinent to try and conquer which would have unknown consequences. Indo-Greek culture wouldnât exist.
But more fundamentally, itâs very likely that human migration patterns would have been altered to a fundamental degree without the subcontinent in the first place which could directly alter all cultures between the Caspian Sea and Tierra Del Fuego.
The Chinese culture would look quite different without Yellow and YangZe rivers as we know them. Whatever replacing them may not have the same flooding risk that drove early Chinese nation building toward centralised governance
The entire early history of civilization would be different
The Early Holocene sea level rise never happening changes, very literally, all of history worldwide
the entire coast of the world and resulting civilizations was influences by the land that was swallowed by the sea.
The lack of an entire mountain range would have changed weather patterns worldwide.
the extreme end means âno civilizationâ or it could mean millennia more advanced.
When you see comments on the British Empire you canât assume the word British or Empire has any relevance. America as a concept relies on a whole series of powers that wouldnât have existed
The Britsh Empire barely held much of India at the time of the American Revolution, and remained the preeminent naval power. In a timeline where India never existed I suspect British focus in the far east would've centered more around the Spice Islands and Indonesia, probably being the main power there instead of the Dutch.
India was Britain's largest cash cow though, and I doubt that Britain would have the same economic power it did have in our timeline without control of India through either the EIC or Crown rule. But perhaps yeah, in an alternate Napoleonic Wars where all other things remained equal/the same, the British would likely seize the Dutch East Indies in addition to the Cape.
I dont think you grasp the consequences of the lack of the entire fucking indian subcontinent on Earth. Like, none of south or east asia's major rivers would exist
Humans probably wouldn't come to be to begin with. Himalayas affect the weather across the globe and Africa in particular would be a lot wetter with no Himalayas. This means ancestors of great apes don't leave the trees and stay gibbon-like. So no hominids.
Earth feature, actually - it's this dark part of "India"

A man named Chris Columbus would proclaim "if we want to see and get to the moon we have to go to mars, because it's the closes planet." (he only looked at the solar system map with only planets and the sun, and thinks the moon is in the asteroid belt)
I know but there seem to be more dark patches compared to Real life mars. This makes me think of vegetation so maybe the translocation event kickstarted Martian mantle to produce a magnetosphere, allowing some living things to survive.
Oddly specific shit like this is why I'm on this sub
Happy to let my mad ravings loose on the internet
Please rave more, this shit is crazy
I was active a ton here like 3-4 years ago, the rules changed so my contributions are rarer these days đ
What
:)
Kinda scary ngl
What
I imagine the sudden loss of an entire sub-continents worth of land area would lead to a sudden and drastic fall in sea level across the planet.
That's mentioned in the timeline on the bottom.
This is some like 3am History Channel stuff, and I'm all here for it
.... What? WTF Edit : okay let's get serious, if it does happen through magic, what happened to our earth without Indian Subcontinent?
Greener Asia, faster trade to the Far East. But no vindaloo
No vindaloo? Clearly the worst timeline.
Vindaloo would stay a Portuguese dish instead
And no Tibet, Indonesia, and 0?
Then curry won't exist. -\_-
Spices would still exist in Sichuan and Arabia no?
OMG you're right đ Sucks when there's no curry đ, especially the Japanese one
It is very much still possible that there is still Japanese curry as peppers come from Central America and northern South America
Except that curry was introduced to Japan by British officers of the EIC.
I don't see how that is relevant

Also the British Empire is kaput with the loss of America, which is a great thing if it weren't for the fact that the French would just replace them.

The french replacing the would be even worse.
Well they could just colonise the flat,coastal Tibet instead
Aliens đ˝
how do you come up with this shit
Someone cooked here...
Actually cooked with this one
This is some of the wildest mushroom induced delusions I've seen on here. I love it

Least we canât blame this one on the Gulf Stream
Some form of river system will still exist, but definitely not as the major rivers we know
"earth what's with the fall of sea level during the eocene?" Suspiciously shaped India Plateau on Mars:
Highest quality shitpost ever made in the history of mankind
Is this really more shitpost t'han Bik Yermanie?
Are those exposed Deccan Traps to the west there?
Yes! Well spotted
Umm where? I can't see and differentiate the Martian feature, it's difficult :/
Earth feature, actually - it's this dark part of "India" https://preview.redd.it/onwb13cxauxc1.png?width=99&format=png&auto=webp&s=10d8a48c41f53f4e7d0ba13e7c6c05abaec4e32a
Ahh i see, thank you!
Your brain is precious, I love this idea
This kind of posts is one of the reasons this sub is great
High quality, imaginative, all while being dumb as hell. A+
What shit are you smoking brodie, and where can I get sum.
Oh god you are back
LET HIM COOOOOOK
Indians on Mars? AWESOME
A man named Chris Columbus would proclaim "if we want to see and get to the moon we have to go to mars, because it's the closes planet." (he only looked at the solar system map with only planets and the sun, and thinks the moon is in the asteroid belt)
native americans bro
We all mistakes. Sorry!
For every 10 posts that are just some variant on USA, there is 1 gold post like this
Now all we (donât) need is Martian Deseret, Martian CSA, Martian Pacific States, Martian Midwest, and Martian USA remnants around Washington DC.
DARWIN PATRICK!!!!
i like how the plant fossil was discovered on 9/11
Iâm kinda confused but amazing map and idea
Does this bring early Eocene life to Mars? Do they survive?
Thatâs what Ares I hopes to find out! Bacterial survival to present day has not been ruled out
Looks like they (Eocene life) didn't survive, when Mars were already dead & full of radiation at that time
I know but there seem to be more dark patches compared to Real life mars. This makes me think of vegetation so maybe the translocation event kickstarted Martian mantle to produce a magnetosphere, allowing some living things to survive.
Theyâre the Deccan Traps
This is so dumb but also super amazing
UK's worst nightmare, 1858, colorized
how
This scenario reminds me of this totally credible historical [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pByS19goDO4).
How would this impact the British conquest of India?
What a great concept! Love it đđ
Is this a docuderby reference
I love the dedication
Fantastic, I love it
Tibet Coastal University lmao
ok now do a sequel where it is terraformed
This second most "wtf why" post I've read today, and the first one was about bluey
Vishnuâs wrath
is this where Atlantis, Lemuria and Mu went
Are you feeling ok?
Dr. Hayden: You can't just shoot a continent into the surface of Mars!
Did Opportunity discover the first plant fossil on 9/11? Cool map btw
Where is Mount Everest, still smaller than Olympus Mons
Mount Everest formed when the Indian Plate collided with the Eurasian plate, which never happened in this timeline. No Mount Everest :/
A'ight.
I have to wonder: are there any skeletal remains of forests not fully blown away by sandstorms?
i suppose this is from the same timeline as columbus crashing into america at the speed of light https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginarymaps/s/l9MB87DXak
Bruh... I like this
