I for one, welcome our new Indian overlords. Much like I welcomed our Aztec overlords.

Arguably Rajiv Gandhi was, via his father. But obviously that is so far out of the timeframe that it's not relevant at all to CK2.
EDIT: Drat, typo. Of course Feroze was Indira's husband, not father. Therefore Rajiv is the one who you could call a Parsi.

Yeah, this is what I'm most excited about too. The areas on the periphery of the game map are the most interesting to me and I'd love to see them expanded upon. I almost always start on the eastern half of the map; my favorite area to play in is from Volga Bulgaria to Khiva, so the prospect of adding more of it is pretty cool. They'll definitely be expanding at the very least Afghanistan and Pakistan. Hopefully there will be more in the future too.
Wiki says they can use violence as self-defence.
"Nonetheless, Jains agree that violence in self-defence can be justified, and that a soldier who kills enemies in combat is performing a legitimate duty. Jain communities have accepted the use of military power for their defence, and there have been Jain monarchs, military commanders, and soldiers"
So even aggression wars could be seen as good as long as they are somehow seen as defending themselves from a threat or they don't have other choice.
Around the time Alexander the Great was marching around the map.
Hey, now we can recreate Alexander the Great's conquest! Start as the Duchy of Macedonia (or whatever it's called at the time), convert to the Hellenic faith, and begin conquering...
Yes, but I don't think there were in the CK2 timeframe. In classical times there were some, and in the 18th century the Sikhs probably count.
Happy for this, but I still want a Roleplay expansion! Keep that in mind for next time. 
What. EU4 has practically none of the resources need for a CK2 version of the same. Often not even the provinces match up in the current map.
These 'fanboys' (and 'fangirls'!), if they end up buying the expansion, will pay the wages of PDS's employees, among other things. It's all about the flashy headlines, bottom lines and units sold. Business, in other terms.
However, I dare to suspect that not too many of these 'fanboys/fangirls' will actually buy the expansion at its normal price, so that much for PI's bottom line
My understanding is that 'the customer is always right' means that the employees shouldn't get into discussions or arguments with customers on subjects like politics or religion.
For example, I once got into an argument with a server at a restaurant I used to frequent, who believed that the Moon landing was a hoax. I haven't been back since. "The customer is always right" is, I think, advice intended to keep that sort of situation from arising.
I know a lot of people online wanted to see this, but I'm sort of disappointed. Not the direction I wanted to see them go with the expansions (at least not this one!). I really want to see the existing mechanics and world expanded with deeper feudalism and more RPG elements. I likely will never play in India, being I'm more interested in the "Crusader King" aspects of the game.
Hopefully a DLC expanding the RPG elements and the existing European mechanics follows closely on its heels.

I'm not really expecting much, other than a bunch more land. Look at CoP, the natives didn't even get their own events... I think this is too ambitious of Paradox.
Well this is rather disappointing.
Was expecting a DLC that would improve the current mechanisms of the game like Sons of Abraham or a new system for Cadet branches. Lets hope it will include gameplay improvements for muslim rulers since there will be more of them on the new map.
At least India is interesting, I just hope they make it flavorful and not just another mass of shallow kingdoms.

Nooo kidding.
This adds hope that China might make it in a year or two. Maybe the third wave of DLC? Since this is the second?
But even without, the Taklamakan basin, the Tian Shan, Hiand other massive mountains do make a nice boundary that is, admittedly, very easy to keep off map and still get some events giving the pressure that existed from China.
Though I am guessing it won't go far enough into SE Asia, there were some major powers with a lot of influence in India at this timeframe. Not to mention the Malaysian Muslim powers.
