All great powers have been multicultural. We shall see how far this homogenous nation goes.

There's SO much wrong in this post I won't even bother to dissect it.


JUST:

Proud to be member of the most diverse country

PS just ignore these clueless idiots who know nothing about India accept from whatever they learned in ccp made books

Sikhs and Tamils what do they have in common ? race ? language / culture ?

They have Nationality in common and that's what is most important. We Sikhs, Tamils, Gujaratis, Marathis, Assamese all are the citizens of India and will fight for it till the last drop of our blood

Yeah Cantonese and Mandarins and other small Language groups. there exists cultural differences between Chinese also, stop your B.S here.

Cantonese , Hokkien , Teochew etc are dialects not "other small languages"

Sanskrit was originated in India and majority of the works of Sanskrit are done in India, you seem to lack the knowledge of Languages in China and you are ranting about Indian Languages.

Sanskrit an Indo European originated from the Central Asia, claiming it originated in India is plain Indian lie and propaganda .

To tell you there is always a central authority(strong empire) ruling India and small kingdoms rallied around it. The moment that central authority weakened India was conquered by the outsiders.

Imperial China is not a unified Nation through out the history.

which central govt are you speaking off Congress BJP or the non existent Maurya and Nanda ? If you had the so called central govt , then logically Indians should have a common language , culture , currency etc through out their history but that was never the case with ex - Hindustan but with the British and Muslim Central govts

I find it quite hilarious that Indians claim to have given China its name while all experts say that the origin of the name was from the unifying dynasty Qin over 2000 years ago. They just couldn't think that name Cin derived from the original Qin, both with pretty much the same pronunciation.

what so hilarious its like using others' toilet paper to wipe their own hmmm , what have they achieved on their own to claim credit. The were united as a country by the Brits and Muslims. This wasnt the case with other countries. Even if for argument sake we assume the China was Persian in origin, the Indians have audacity to claim Persian was derived from Sanskrit and not vice versa and Nepalese Buddha, Indus valley Civilisation and Chola are all Indians

Yes but still present day republic of India is inheritor of the legacy of chola empire

They have Nationality in common and that's what is most important. We Sikhs, Tamils, Gujaratis, Marathis, Assamese all are the citizens of India and will fight for it till the last drop of our blood

Thats the only thing you have in common (thank the British) which you forceful impose on minorities (refer Khalistan/Kashmir/Nagaland). Nothing to feel proud as you don't have a common culture to be one united country

 

[manlion]

Think u must have forget the variuos Gupta dynasty, Pala, Kushans, Karavela, and empire under Harshavardhan...
Later it became fragmented, there was no central large empires. But later came Rastrakutas, Yadavas, Cholas and Pandyas.
Its in 1206, Muslims managed to enter current Indian border. And we were unified again by Shah jehan and Aurangzeb (Most of India).
And when british came, lot of empires were still independent, Kashmir, Travancore, Hyderabad, Mysore, Rajputana confiderancies etc.
Know history or never talk.

before advising others know your own history and don't restort to false claims to further your Indian ego.

Just an e.g of your lies, the state of Mysore following Tipu Sultan's death was annexed by the British. The Brits re-insatlled the Hindu King and Mysore was transformed into a Princely state

Cantonese , Hokkien , Teochew etc are dialects not "other small languages"

What about Tibetan Language, Xingjiang Language, Inner Mongolia, Cantonese completely different.

.

May be a mother language of Sanskrit was originated from some where else, But most of the evolution and works are done in India, if you have proof then present it.

which central govt are you speaking off Congress BJP or the non existent Maurya and Nanda ?

There are no rules for a country to be unified and exist, We are not the ones who will oppress others cultures and Languages in the name of Unification. We believe in Unity in Diversity.

If you have any problems with that you can take a walk from this discussion.

Even though most of the cultures and Languages are oppressed in China, they still thrive there.

I knoq my history well mate. Its u who is trying to twist "our" Indian, to be specifics, Tamil History.
Yes, it was given to HIndu states. They were independent , that they made their own laws, had their own taxes, had their own ministers, foreign policies .
But They paid taxes to the british.

I think this news will be spread soon and reach Indian parliament tonight. Maybe tomorrow Premier Singh will cite it as a proof for Indian greatness.

With the Indian diaspora scattered all over the world, soon the whole world will know that India gave China both religion and name.

I just searched for it. Its amazing. So we gave them their name and their religion.

The word "China" is derived from Persian Cin (چی&#1606,which itself is derived from Sanskrit(ancient Indian language) Chiin (ची&#2344. even today in most of the Indian languages China is reffered to as Chiin and Chinese as chini although Chinese members here tend to get little offended when they are referred to as chini

You people are funny as hell.
As Götterdämmerung has mentioned that the name"China" is originally from one of the Chinese ancient Empire 秦 (Chin). You call, pronounce a country's name in your own language = the country's name is created and given by you? I can never understand this amazing logic.

And based on you people's glorious logic:
-China calls the USA "Meiguo", therefore it is China who named America;
-Indian's name "India" is given by British (not to mentions English is India's official language);

Also I'm not going to tell you that the name Viet-nam 越南 is actually given by a Chinese emperor.

Our ancient books mentions about some East Asian people named Cina, these books are older than the dynasty you are talking about.

China which existed within Great Wall of China for centuries.

The Chin Kingdom was established around 770 BC, how old is your ancient book exactly.
China has its own Chinese name 中國. "China" is only a foreign name.

Native American are called "Indian", therefore "Indian" was given name by Western people?

neither was china

Dude, this was the real China throughout history.

Not 770BC, kingdom was founded in 280 BC.

Native Americans are called "Indian" for a reason.


Europeans at the time of Christopher Columbus's voyage often referred to all of South and East Asia as "India" or "the Indias/Indies," sometimes dividing the area into "Greater India," "Middle India," and "Lesser India." The oldest surviving terrestrial globe, by Martin Behaim in 1492 (before Columbus' voyage), labels the entire Asian subcontinent region as "India".

Columbus carried a passport in Latin from the Spanish monarchs that dispatched him ab partes Indie ("toward the regions of India") on their behalf. When he landed in the Antilles, Columbus referred to the resident peoples he encountered there as "Indians" in the mistaken belief that he had reached the Indian Ocean. Although Columbus' mistake was soon recognized, the name stuck; for centuries the native people of the Americas were collectively called "Indians." This misnomer was perpetuated in place naming; the islands of the Caribbean were named, and are still known as, the West Indies.
