Even though you'll be a large producer of them
I still have trouble swallowing the Ghurid branch of your already slightly unbelievable nation, as the PU would most likely be recent and out of desperation (on the Ghurid's side) by one of two things.
1) India and Persia. Need I say more?
2) Gradual and long term economic bullying, of which the Ghurid "King" is little more than a Rasulid puppet. Albeit, not the worst puppet as opposed to something Hindu or Zoroastrian, but still.
Reasons being that it allows a few catalysts to occur, namely who will control the last leg of the Silk Road. I foresee a Ghurid proxy conflict where Indians, Persians, Ghurid Seperatists, and Rasulids fight a bloody war.
A Personal Union (according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary) is: "a union of two states constituted by their becoming subject to the same personal ruler without loss of independent sovereignty" personal ruler being monarch. A smarter approach is to attempt to puppet a few regional rulers, that way you can still keep power in the bits you want (the coastal cities), let Persia tramp about the inland areas, and you'll both walk away happy (and wealthy).
But I want the Ghurid thing to be old. Ugh, okay, I'll fix it.
