I think the map I posted earlier makes clear that Indian Republic at the geographic and physical level is defined -
- by the Ganga River Valley.
- by the V shaped Dravidian peninisula.
Ganga River Valley is home to just over
half of India's 1.3 billion people. New Delhi is sited next to the Yamuna River which is a tributary of Ganga. Varanasi a Hindu holy site is on the Ganga. And on top of that Indian's regard it as the "Holy River" which makes sense in that like Pakistan has Indus, Egypt Nile, China Yellow River, India has Ganga River. Although with all the open air poopin and chucking dead bodies into it Ganga is one of the most filthiest rivers on earth.
That logic is as dumb as considering Indonesians and Wst Indians also as part of the "Indo" club because they happen to have the "Ind" root in their names.
