wow, im so glad i have a supportive following of people who hold me up as the God of India ....................j/k. But yes India does have problems against massed artillery. Luckily, es saw fit that  they gave them the highest hit point culvern/motor unit( the siege elephant) in the game that effectively takes out other artillery and destroys walls with-in seconds.

Yeah, dutch is the guy you should ask with any question about India.

u can have a score of 2000+ by 40 mins

consulate order - ottomans(settlers), potuguese(building rice paddies and tc), french (gold crate + tajmahal gold which helps to age up fast to imperial and production boost) and towards the end get back to ottomans for great bombards and jans then switch to british for 10%extra hitpoints.

wonderd build order - karni mata, tower of victory, taj mahal and char minar.

    I can't believe he thinks siege elephants are good...why doesn't he use culverins from the Portuguese consulate to pwn artillery? I understand siege elephants aren't as bad as most think, but if you've ever fought petards....You can't get them out in time.

you should send it with something like 4 mins left so you have time to regain all the food usually you should end up with 150k gold or 200k if your good, with 2000+ score or around that

I usually use for my start, but its diiferent from normal one, portuguese so i can get allthe buildings i want quickly, ottoman for their upgrades,then i use french to make my settlers get food faster for fur trade then i switch to british for unit HP or back to ottoman for bombards unless im versing an ottoman player. Siege elephants are good much better HP and you dont use limited export.

If you look at this what rank are you Dutch?

why on god's green earth would you be friends with the ports when you should go with the brits and get 10% better hitpoints, cheaper buildings are gay when you can get 10% better hp for units, this makes howdahs have 1464 hitpoints to 1534, come on people, which would you rather have....but if you are going to be friends with another civ, go with the french above ports. But if you must go with them......not much i can do to stop you, just advise you it is really stupid.  

india r pretty powerful, with the unlimited urumi and their howdahs and mahouts own pretty much all (although i did beat some indian captain with french, my gendarme spam turned muskets vs his urumi howdah sepoy. very close game, but my total skill won )
