There are no toilets, anywhere. Lots of people have stunted growth from dystentary and related diseases as children. Everything smells terrible. Maps of cities need DESIGNATED SHITTING STREETS.

nigga just read the ramayana and mahabharata

Incredibly fractured culturally. All sorts of weird cults and groups just pocketed away.

This is modern India. Ancient India had sewer systems (Mohenjo-Daro) and public baths 2500 B.C. en.wikipedia.org

What time period are you talking about? Different points in time give you vastly different Indias.

Yeah, we need details on which parts of Indian history you're interested in encorporating. Mughal India was very different from British Raj India and very different again from Ancient India.
One thing I would suggest though, is keep in mind that historically 'India' was more a confederation that a single unity, with no true monoculture or even a set Lingua Franca. The Hindu supremacists are trying to push a revised view of Indian culture with them at the hostorical centre, but a great deal of that is cultural propaganda.

Also, the boundaries of India/Hindustan were wide. At its peak it stretched from the borders of Afghanistan to Nepal. Indian today is massive, now add to it all of Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Nepalese mountains, the subcontinent islands like Sri Lanka, and a cultural projection that went through Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.
That's a massive chunk of Earth.

Also don't forget that period in time where there was such thing as an Indo-Greek kingdom
