If the partition of Bharat in 1947 had not occurred, the combined population of the region would have exceeded 1.9 billion by 2024, making it the largest population base globally.
The original Mahabharat’s Bharat GDP could have been close to 80-90 trillion dollars by end of the 21st century. Even if you go by Goldman Sachs’s prediction the combined GDP of the countries that emerged from the partition could by in excess of 70 trillion dollars by 2075. If the region had stayed intact the original Mahabharat could have benefitted immensely from improved efficiency and management/deployment of resources.
World's biggest economies by 2075, projected by Goldman Sachs:
China: $57 trillion
India: $52.5 trillion
United States: $51.5 trillion
Indonesia: $13.7 trillion
Nigeria: $13.1 trillion
Pakistan: $12.3 trillion
Egypt: $10.4 trillion
Brazil: $8.7 trillion
Germany: $8.1 trillion
Mexico: $7.6 trillion
UK: $7.6 trillion
Japan: $7.5 trillion
Russia: $6.9 trillion
Philippines: $6.6 trillion
France: $6.5 trillion
Bangladesh: $6.3 trillion
The region’s combined natural resources, including coal, minerals, and arable land, would have placed it among the top resource-rich nations. For example, Pakistan’s natural gas reserves combined with Bharat’s technology-driven energy policies could have made Mahabharat a global energy hub. Bangladesh’s textile industry and Bharat’s IT and pharmaceutical sectors could have propelled exports to unprecedented levels, accounting for 30-35% of global trade.
Additionally, avoiding the direct and indirect costs of partition—estimated to be in the range of 10-15% of cumulative GDP—along with reduced military expenditures (potential savings of 2-3% of GDP annually from avoiding inter-regional conflicts) could have resulted in a more prosperous, stable region.
It is fair to say that a non-partitioned Mahabharat would likely have become not only the largest GDP but also the strongest and most prosperous nation, shaping the 21st century as a global leader.
Even a partitioned Bharat is sitting comfortably at #2 in 2075 as per predictions and could even replace China in the distant future as #1 but if the region had stayed intact, the original Mahabharat would have been a power never to be contested ever. It would have been by far the greatest power on Earth.
