I think probably their infrastructure wouldn't have supporded a world-wide trade empire but it would be a fun idea to play with. Perhaps change history a little more - if they could kick out the Brits, couldn't they take on some of their better ideas and move forward with that. Add in some fantastic minds to come up with some unique new ways of exploiting their own goods...it would be a fun one to play with. The could spread their ideals and superstitions all over the place. Just imagine, with this scenario, it is possible that India could colonize the Americas...that would be so much fun to play with!
