Akhand Bharatiya Empire
News of the newly acquired territory quickly spread across the Bharatiya Empire through the nation's newspapers. However, public reaction was far from unanimously positive. When it became known that the territory would not be fully integrated into the empire but instead remain a separate entity managed autonomously by the central government, it caught many by surprise. This realisation sparked widespread and heated debate across society.
"Why did the government make such a decision? Wouldn't it be better to simply integrate the new territory into the empire? What is happening?"
"Who knows, maybe it's because of the majority of Old Testament Muslims in the region, or it could be because of the harsh terrain of the acquired land. It's difficult to guess."
