A serious question about India

[KediKesenFare3]

Is India a nation or just an administrative body?​

 

[El Sidd]

It's more like Africa.

Like a collection of misshapen cultures living under a status quo like system of the same cycle of oppression and self hating identity.

A collection of tribal society owned by Hindu businessmen and the privileged early starters of the restoring a caste system based education system.

India is a nation united by shared culture, race, and a common religion.

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

Before the British Raj, did the people of Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Bengal and Punjab consider themselves to have a shared identity, i.e. as people of the same nation?

Even today they still have to use a foreign language (English) in order to communicate with each other, not to mention the fact that the Indian constitution and system of law are all written in English. And their "national" border lines were drawn by and named after British people, like Henry MacMahon. Unless someone thinks that is an Indian name.

South Asia was a bunch of Princely states. There was no united Indian identity.

Nearly 2.6m Indians live in the UAE, and I can tell you that the only thing that binds them, is hatred for Pakistan. Otherwise, they are at each others throats.

Correction.

There is no Indian identity.

Not even a zero. We took that away while they were singing mauqa mauqa.

I call it the place to invest of a major collapse in the next few years bet.

Agreed with you.

You forgot to look in the mirror. When you do, you'll see an inferiority ridden man, afraid to fly his country's own flag. What a shame!

And folks, there we have it!

According to Indians some empire 2000 or so years ago conquered the entire subcontinent, but despite collapsing shortly after the entire region is still a single nation.

I'd say it wasn't really a nation until the early 1900's when the independence movement started. Especially considering the fact that rulers would literally risk entire kingdoms and millions of lives to not be an 'Indian' under the British Raj, and before that the Mughals.

What do you want to know about India that you do not know as of now.
