Future Mergers with Bharat Civilization (or Akhanda Bharat).
With the growing influence of India around the world especially with our neighbours and on the other side the growing monitory influence of Chinese, there would be more discomfort and some countries might need to take a stand not just as a foreign policy but to let the Bharat as a civilization unite to protect their own citizens. Bharat Civilization (unlike Akhand Bharat ideology) will accommodate all the regions and rulers within the constitution. We would treat them as equal partners. If all falls into the place as mentioned below India would add 19 more states which will be 94 states altogether. A country like Bharat with this diversity would definitely need to change the governance model to be Presidential.
Socotra – This small archipelago of four islands also known as Dvipa Sukhadhara was part of the Bombay Presidency till 1937. In the same act Sindh was separated from Bombay, Bihar and Orissa were separated. There are many Indic civilizational people are residing in this island. There are number of Gujarati inscriptions at Socotra from 17th Century. Therefore a strong Bharat Civilisation can influence the Socotra population as well.
Bhutan – I assume within 20 years Bhutan would integrate and it would be recognised as a state. We would treat the King and their royal heirs with respect but they would no longer be able to be govern.
Sri Lanka – within 25 years with their economy and their constraints to progress our neighbour Sri Lanka will integrate as well. We have more commonalities than differences. India is known for unity in diversity but Bharat will be known for Unity and Diversity. Bharat would be proud of its diversity and will be united to achieve development goals. and Sri Lanka will be integrated as all of its 9 provinces will get statehood.
Nepal – Nepal is a Hindu-majority state and we have roti-beti relationship with them. There would be a time when they will realize it’s time we integrate with India rather than being at crossroads in the India-China relationship. Here one country which really affects the entire scenario is Tibet. We do not feel that Tibet would be free in this planet’s lifetime. 7 Provinces of Nepal would each get the statehood.
Maldives – if willing can also proposed to integrate back with Bharat Civilization. The only strategic benefit would be its marine time border which India would benefit. Economical wise or population wise it would not be a significate move. Maldives is suffering from environmental changes and many of its islands might disappear in near future.
