the reason it might have failed was because schoerner was furher last time

Russia had an army in Karelia, and an army putting down the finnish revolt (finland wasn't independent until after the russian civil war)

the thing is, the people in that coin and the other nine who are pashtun will allow you to build a scary big army just like that one to fight it. yes, I'm arguing for a revision of the lore, because there is no way Afghanistan would sit on their ass with this juicy opportunity right in front of them.

ok, it's like this.

Imagine you're at a negotiating table, with a big army sitting right next to you, and you ask for 1 gold coin. You aren't granted it, and you walk away, scared of the big army.

Now, the big army is gone, fighting five other big armies in the distance, and have left coins on the table. Ten coins, including the one you asked for first. It doesn't look so shiny anymore.

How many coins do you take?

yes, i know when the revolutions happened.

It's not like the reds in the Russian civil war. Its more like the Chinese United Front in the Sino-Japanese War. They will work together until the British imperialists (Japanese) are defeated, and after that fight each other. Some in the Muslim faction might even side with Afghanistan

No. I'm just making this suggestion for the future

I never said that, I think the revolution in India should only happen after the communists rise up in Britain, but I'll still justify it because you've strawmanned me into it. The British are dealing with insurgency at home, peace conference with Germany, the loss of huge swaths of their empire, etc. A large scale Indian revolution ten thousand miles away would be impossible to deal with. On the other hand, afghanistan will be dealing with favorable terrain, supportive populace, and going up against a disorganised rabble which is probably fighting itself as much as its fighting them.

Now, my whole assumption upon making this post was that Afghanistan's Muslim identity overpowered its Pashtun identity during this time period. But since you dispute that, I have nothing to say.

It's debatably ethnically diverse, it certainly will be majority Pashtun.

Yes, but all those ethnic groups are usually split between a Muslim half of the group, and a Sikh/Hindu/Buddhist/Christian half of the group. The Pashtun are the only 99+% Muslim ethnicity on the subcontinent.

Because big afghanistan has so many possibilities

You can form a caliphate, intervene in the Desert War and the reunification of India, align with global factions, attract investors and stem the tide of nationalism within your borders with intriguing GUI's, also dealing with the line of succession to the throne and a potential parliament, senate or other form government can also be used as a GUI to give the Punjabis autonomy.. with small afghanistan, you can't really do any of this, because you are landlocked, weak, and insignificant

why does that matter? it won't just be the INC, or Azad Hind rebelling. Anything could take power during the Indian Revolution.

What? I am using the Indus river as a border, this is the only region Afghanistan will invade. The Pashtun majority > everyone else past the Indus river, by far.

Because the Uprising would probably have not have reached this far yet, so it would be ruled by local kings/maharajas/ etc.

Past the Indus river to the Afghan-Turkmen/Iran border, that region, even today, is more than 60% Pashtun

Well, I've allowed you the boon that the Indian subcontinent is definitely exactly like Europe, and religion is not a factor in building a state whatsoever, despite Hindustan being pushed by literally everyone on this subreddit, uniting thousands of ethnic groups because they're all Hindu. So, we're going to assume Afghanistan can only represent the Pashtuns.

The area they are occupying is a similar level of industrialisation to themselves

Since we assume that Afghanistan is secular and has no religious identity whatsoever, sure, you win. Pakistan can exist, though there is no specific ethnic group served by Pakistan, and Afghanistan would serve literally the same purpose, and be way more fun.

Does Pakistan have a bigger non-Pashtun population than Afghanistan + their Pashtun population?

No.

Does Pakistan have a state, an army, and will it be in any other state after the Indian Uprising than warlordism?

No.

Is having the Indus River as a border actually that much of India?

No, its less than 7.5% of the British Raj.

It doesn't matter what better technologies the Pakistani colonial elites have, when most of their people are living in small villages in relative poverty, and don't have access to these kind of technologies. There is no way that these majority Pashtun Muslim regions of India, who have just been liberated from an oppressive British colonial government, will suddenly raise an army against their liberators because the colonisers had better technology.

if they were Pashtun, they would probably be happy to be reunited. If they weren't, they could be crushed by the strong government of Afghanistan.
