Is it fair to say that if the partition of India had not happened in 1947, it would have eventually become the most powerful nation of the 21st centur

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.
 
Those extra 18 trillion arent worth the threat to Sanatan Bhaijaan. Its always Dharma over money for me.

"धनानि धर्माय नापसर्पन्ति धर्मो हि धनस्य कारणम्।"

Wealth only serves a purpose when aligned with Dharma. Its the only purpose.
 
I dont think its going to be a good option. As u can see already there are multiple factions and issues in pak & bng, we dont want a disjoint, disoriented system. Whatever we have it's working and atelast going in one direction albeit slowly.
 
Partition was the best thing to have ever happened to Indian subcontinent.

With 50% Hindus and 50% Muslims in a large country like India, we would be seeing daily riots. Communities will start banding together for support and security creating millions of ghettos and no go zones.

Thank you Jinnah 🙏 for not listening to Gandhi and his woke gang.

I'll maintain that Jinnah's action had the long term effect of helping India and Hindus.

Unintentionally, from a strategic perspective he did more for India and hindus than Gandhi and Nehru
 
We would have bordered Afghanistan and Myanmar lol
 
I’m pretty sure my parents would have had to move outside India.

Both of whom I guess would have been better nations. The prosperity and stability of Mahabharat would spread to neighbouring nations.
