There are no strong nations that can oppose you, the Ottomans and Mamluks tend to stay off your back while you can spend the first 100 years conquering all of India. If you are lucky at the start and get the Conquer Delhi mission, you gain all of the cores needed to from the Mughal Empire. And of course by forming the Mughal Empire (I did this within the first 75 years of starting), you get out of the Tribal government. After you eat up India which is very easy in HTTT (Holy War or Reconquest CB), you can turn your attention to breaking apart the Mamluks or Ottoman Empire and then focus on China.
Of course Siberia is yours for the taking
And also you can move your capital to Dehli with no negative actions (via National Decision) which because Dehli is tropical, this removes the negative province modifier applied to any other tropical province.
