Not yet. But the Netherlands did come very close to an industrial revolution using wind power. The fact the Dutch came so close useing TL4 wind power suggests to me that an industrial revolution was going to happen somewhere.

Hey picture a world where India's culture was slightly different in the 16th and 17th centuries and both India and England are having industrial revolutions in the 18th century. Or move it forward fo a Napoleonic period with two industrial powers and Napoleon needing to play India and Britain off each other.
