Why this question arise?
Over the past 70 years, India has succeeded to resolve border issues only with Srilanka and Bangladesh. India has a huge tension with neighbors regarding the border and natural resources. Non military issues like climate change, energy security, competition for scarce resources, food and water security, pandemics, migrations, etc., are getting securitized. India has faced 4 wars till independence.
Indian sub-continent is huge, comprises of 7 countries, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Srilanka, Maldives Nepal and Bhutan. It will be a vast area of the region's population and cultural impact on our world.
Currently India is facing lots of demographic issues with their neighbors, but at the same time Indian is showing lessons to developed countries, how to handle those issues to prepare for their own future.
What if India and neighbors, that is India' and sub-continent re-united as one country?
How will it look like if all these countries are united. Let us assume the name as "United India".
Population:

- United India will be high in natural resources.
- United India will have the largest manpower reserves in the world and it may lead to the highest unemployment rate.
- Young age of the average citizen would be 27 years old.
