How Much Area Indian Sub-Continent lost in Last 400 years Especially Last 100 Years

[Indo-guy]

Sorry, I am using an IPad that completes my words or even sentences.




Everyone knows India begged for independence instead of fought for it.

It is acceptable that self obsessed narcissist like you will equate yourself with everyone .

An iPad will auto-correct IPad into iPad.

LOL, nice catch.

How does any of that matter? By the way, I have been around long enough to know that you are using the word "we" inappropriately.

USA was a lot of things before it was a British colony. So was India. If your contention is that India should go back to being several kingdoms, the same logic dictates that America should do the same - revert to the native civilizations of the cherokees and and Waccamaws and Houmas and Lenapes and...

That's what existed before the British came, and the manner of getting independence is irrelevant. (BTW we did no beg for it either - as if any subjugator ever left because the subjects begged.)

Our ancestors won the land from the natives by craft and force. On the other hand, you guys were the natives.

Sorry. I had spoken too fast. You guys were the aryan invaders that displaced the australoids.

The discussing is regarding land which has been lost by Indian Sub-Continent due to which reasons and why of course I will be posting only Maps and few details for discussion.
Whether called the Indian subcontinent or South Asia, the definition of the geographical extent of this region varies. Geopolitically, it had formed the whole territory of Greater India, and now it generally comprises the countries of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.Prior to 1947, the three nations were historically combined and constituted British India. It almost always also includes Nepal, Bhutan, and the island country of Sri Lanka and may also include Afghanistan and the island country of Maldives. According to anthropologist John R. Lukacs, "The Indian Subcontinent occupies the major landmass of South Asia. while according to political science professor Tatu Vanhanen, "The seven countries of South Asia constitute geographically a compact region around the Indian Subcontinent".

Using a more expansive definition – counting India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan and Maldives as the constituent countries – the Indian subcontinent covers about 4.4 million km² (1.7 million mi²), which is 10% of the Asian continent or 3.3% of the world's land surface area. Overall, it accounts for about 45% of Asia's population (or over 25% of the world's population) and is home to a vast array of peoples.

My Opinion:
India was known as Golden sparrow in it's peak.Ancient India was no doubt a great civilization which invented use of sewerage system and advance building and measuring techniques. Decline of India started after British Landed on its coasts, the main advantage of British over Indians was nor technological nor civilization, but there fox type cunning to kill and fear locals, most of time subcontinent has been a home to peaceful peoples. Majority of Area India Sub-continent lost after British and fall of Delhi crica-1857. Parts of Afghanistan, China and Burma were taken as soon as empire lost it's power. British on the other hand no affiliation with this land so they divided it into small raj's and exploited it day and night Example koh-e-noor diamond.Through All time of there rule British lost Parts of Afghanistan and Iran.And in last ditch they cultivated a lot of hatred in hearts of Hindus and Muslims for each other so India can never be united.

On a different perspective plane Indian subcontinent continues to lose huge territory ...each year as indian plate continues to slide under Eurasian plate ....raising heights of Himalayaa by 1 cm each year....

Sorry, I have no intention to fall for these flaim baits. Stick to the topic, if you can. You have displayed enough ignorance for a week.

British invaders snatched land of red Indians by committing the biggest carnage of any civilization in known history of mankind .

Vomiting few words that you have managed to scavenge over internet will not make you look knowledgeable . It rather shows up your stupidity ...

I digress.. Sri Lanka is considered part of South Asia not the Indian sub continent.. Even for argument sake if we take the maps highlighted by the OP, You could see Ceylon have always always been a separate entity pre and post colonial and both politically and geographically.. So the Sub continent i just that.. The landmass jutting down south of the Himalayas

Yes there are a lot of cultural similarities with the rest of south Asian people but there are many differences as well.. More differences that common histories and societal aspects of what is considered the Indian subcontinent

As you had stated, India is a geographical expression. When I first saw the thread, I literally thought that Indian subcontinent is face major land erosion issues. I thought the Indian Ocean is eating up a lots of land and your Modi is coming up with a solution to stop the erosion.

Only Bangladesh lost its territories none lost anything like that.

I am deeply sorry about your comprehension issues.

Actually, this also came to my mind as well. But land erosion is usually a bigger problem.

Yes, it would be wiser to use the ignore button. Clearly he is here to flaim, and clearly he is not an American.

 

[Not Sure]

As an American (a native English speaker), your English skills leave much to be desired.

He's a South Asian. In almost all of his posts you can notice the very typical flaws that only South Asians or Japanese are prone to commit, while no one born in the US would ever do that. Even in the last few posts his redundancy mistakes (ex. "this also came to my mind as well" - just to put some extra stress) clearly show where he is coming from.

The IPad one was a pretty cool catch though

USA was a British colony. We won our independence by kicked out the red coats. As our soldiers were trained in the frost of valley forge. Unlike India, which begged for Independence, we took our freedom by force.

Begged? That a little harsh. They had their methods and we had ours. Both were successful so who's to say which one was better? Civil disobedience and peaceful protests are the norm today. MLK did the same thing. Are you calling that begging too?
