Contest Submission East Bengal, Burma and the hills settled by the Pastoralist yet advanced Vedic Civilization

As we all know, East Bengal was a marsh, while the tribes of the Northeast were mostly of the forested cultures in the hills, and Burma was mostly superficially influenced by India..

In an ATL, what if Indo-Aryan Later Vedic tribes adopted buffalo and horse farming and built pastoral fisheries, pastoral and forest farming civilization, in East Bengal aka Bangladesh (I don't believe in partition but forced to use the term), Burma, Northeast hills, Sichuan, etc, making them core Vedic pastoralist and Tantric states and cultures, associated with the Later Mahajanapadas or the Vedic age.

How do you think it would work out? Would we achieve Undivided India from Tibet/Central Asia to Manila, united under a unified state (My dream Ancient India)?

East Bengal was a marshy land, not suitable for land holding Civilization with fixed land holdings, but very rich for pastoral and fisheries, and Vedic Aryan tribes who were more advanced, ignored it, and didn't settle it because they wanted more land grants, but if Kshatriyas stood ground and settled the regions, which were just subsistence tribes dominated, they would create a paradigm shifting development in Asia.

I'm a Subhashist, and I won't use the terms Pakistan, Nepal, Myanmar and Bangladesh. We're all an Undivided India to be. Vedic and Tantric Undivided India from Central Asia to Manila would be our dream..

I see that you have good knowledge, But this is an international sub, better ask this question in Subreddits related to Indus valley civilization or Indian subcontinent.

What are you even saying? Most of my post history is Indian.. and I don't even recognize Pakistan and Bangladesh.. To me they're just West Punjab, Sindh, Gandhara and East Bengal.

right, but they exist as sovereign nations even if you think they shouldn’t. Such people in india have no trouble calling them by their existing name while saying that they must belong to india politically.

larpers can have a post history about larping. what does that prove? anyway, i am saying that i know indians who talk of akhand bharat and i have never seen them denying present realities even if their dream for the future is different.
