India - "Made in Britain"

Not modern India but Pakistan is the true successor state of ancient Indian(named after indus river of Pakistan)
 
. . . . .
Considering for once that this is not a troll thread, 'India' was well known to the European corporate world much before the British East India Company was even formed. Portugal's Estado Da India was already dominating the pepper market in the 16th century. England was just among other many European countries like the French, Netherlands, Denmark, Prussia, Russia or Sweden to launch maritime ventures across South and South East Asia. India already existed while the first writer of the company set foot at India. This is why I feel the thread failed to meet its objective in the beginning itself.

India was the European term for the rich fertile land south of China, originating from the Greek word for the land "beyond the Inuds", the farthest extent of Ancient Greek conquests. Current Indian Subcontinent was Britain's East India while Indonesia was called Nederlands Indië (Dutch term for India). Vietnam could also be French East India, instead of French Indo-China, had it not been for Vietnam's Sinic influenced culture and people (which confused the French).

Showing off one's inferiority complex or lack of history lessons.

Maybe you can learn something today is you can comprehend it.

" What are the arguments FOR British colonialism benefiting the subcontinent? It is often claimed that the British bequeathed India its political unity. But India had enjoyed cultural and geographical unity throughout the ages, going back to Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BC and Adi Shankara travelling from Kerala to Kashmir and from Dwarka to Puri in the 7th century AD, establishing his temples everywhere. As a result, the yearning for political unity existed throughout; warriors and kings tried to dominate the entire subcontinent, usually unsuccessfully. But with modern transport and communications, national unity would have been fulfilled without colonial rule, just as in equally fragmented 19th century Italy. And what political unity can we celebrate when the horrors of Partition (1 million dead, 13 million displaced, billions of rupees of property destroyed) were the direct result of deliberate British policies of "divide and rule" that fomented religious antagonisms?
