  1. War and Conquest: The concept of milchemet mitzvah (a commanded war) includes conquering certain territories that were promised in the Torah. If new land is identified as part of the biblical borders, there may be halachic discussions about the obligation to conquer and settle it.

As we all know, religious texts are static and unchanging. Until one is "unearthed" that declares all of India "ancient Israel".
