Default Divine/Ethereal Politics on the Indian Subcontinent

Ok, I finally thought of a way to directly phrase my curiosity regarding the political dynamic between the Host & the Trimurti.

Not considering Hell's relative strength or weakness for a moment...

1. Are Angels as overwhelming dominant over Ethereals on the Indian Subcontinent as elsewhere? The Hindu Gods weren't touched by Uriel's Crusade I know, but they might just stay out of the way entirely. Their intervention is a very unique event, usually carried out by a semi-rogue member of the Pantheon & is as opposed by Angels of Dreams, Judgment, & the Sword as anywhere else.

2. Are Angels as active in the Sub-continent as anywhere else, but have a semi-cooperative relationship with the Trimurti. Angels of the Sword & Judgment just stay away because they can't handle dealing with Ethereals which is a necessity in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, etc. The Hindu Gods cooperate with Heaven against Demons preying upon "their people", & otherwise the Host & the Trimurti just try to stay out of each others way; the Hindu Gods only opposing the Angels if they think the Host are trying to undermine Hinduism in favor of Western/Middle-Eastern Monotheism.

If this is the case, how do you think Angels of Dreams (who can't just avoid the area in favor of short emergency operations like Dominicans & Laurencians) handle these Ethereals intervening on the Corporeal Plane?

3. Or do the Hindu Gods run the show on the Subcontinent? Angels are few & far between and must cooperate & show deference to the Trimurti if they want to accomplish anything in this "Ethereal Territory". Heaven only stomachs this arrangement because the Trimurti have been as generally effective at opposing Diabolicals here as the Host has elsewhere in the world.

Which of these three do you see being the case? Or is there another possibility I'm ignoring?
