>you can force people to marry, but you can't make them care about each other

The same kulcha warriors also decriminalized homosexuality. While your favorite party (read family) was not able to for decades of their rule.
That's incorrect IMHO. The Mughals had ruled over an area greater than India's current area. The Marathas too had almost replaced Mughals after their downfall, and the British replaced Marathas. There was infighting in a few kingdoms towards the south and the east, and that's where the British gained their initial territory.
There was a concept of a united India/Hindustan/Bharat/Aryavart in Ancient times.
