Remnants of the Raj: India, 1936

For years, it was my ambition to redo the Indian nations for Kaiserreich, a wish made stronger after I spent half a year on the subcontinent travelling and teaching. This map came about as a part of my work on rewriting India’s lore and events. Once the jewel in the crown of Britain’s empire, the 1925 revolution shattered the Raj into three competing successor states: each dreaming of uniting India under their specific government. The tripartite remnants of the Raj also face the injustice of the so-called Vulture States’ (Afghanistan, Tibet and Nepal) continued occupation of rightful Indian territory. For although Delhi, Hyderabad and Calcutta disagree on whether democracy, traditionalism or syndicalism is the right path for India, they agree on one thing: Mother India must be restored to her rightful borders.
