No, now you understand.
It is stupidity for India to claim all the historical events that happened in the subcontinent as happening in "India", since clearly the Pakistanis/Bangladeshis/Sri Lankans/Nepalese do not buy that "Akhand barat" BS. And the fact that India did not even exist back then.
Buddha was born in what is now modern day Nepal, that is a fact. The Indus Valley Civilization was situated in what is now modern day Pakistan, that is a fact.
Pakistanis, Bangladeshis Sri Lankans and Nepalis do NOT claim to be Indian, that is an insult for them.
You are wrong.
Before the nation states of India, Pakistan, Nepal,Bhutan , Bangladesh came into being all the landmass between the Himalayas and Indian ocean was called 'Bharat'.
And just like PRC is a successor to the Qing, Russia is successor to USSR,India is the successor to the legacy of Bharat, not to mention the kingdom of Sidhartha (not Buddha) was a transnational one in modern sense.
In short every thing that happened within the Himalayas and Indian Ocean happened in ancient Bharat whose legacy is now passed to India.
If you are interested in genuine debate, you have to accpet this, else I will take this is just a childish argument just for the sake of it and leave you in your little well.
