Yes, because in India we never give that much importance to names. Even today, 'India' is used mainly by foriegn countries, and english media. We the citizens rarely call our country as 'India' in our normal talks rather we call it as 'Bharat'. Even our neighbours call us as 'Hindustan', which is again a different name. Our ancient texts refer our country as 'Aryavrat'. It may be possible after 100 years our country is refereed by different name.There was no single empire known as India when Mughals ruled South Asia in Delhi. It was just indian subcontinent with a myriad of different kingdoms.
It happens after every 200-300 years. Maurya empire lacks continuity with Gupta empires. Gupta empire lacks continuity with mughals empire. even in 2001 India was ruled by NDA now it is ruled by UPA there lacks continuity. It dosent mean India was not a country before but now it is?. Even now the head of Ruling party is from Italy. Will you say after 150 years that India was not a country in 2013 because it was ruled by Italian and not Indian? Mate, consider the fact that external boundaries of India were more or less same since 300 BC. Even the Capital is same.Even if I accept Mughals as Indian empire, there is no political continuity from Muarya empire. Mughals were muslims, completely culture and people to local south Asians. How could India lost the status of a country to British? For 2000 years, since 185BC, there was not a single country/empire. The present border of India was drew by the British.
yes. apply the first logic in Indian context. There was always a 'sovereign empire' throughout Indian history, but there existed small kingdoms which resolves around 'sovereign empire' in the center. For the second point, not being acknowledge by some one dosent mean the country dosent exists?One sovereign empire or one country is completely different concept from "unified country"
Two, there can only be an unification only if there exists two different entities, like East and West Germany. Taiwan is not recognized by UN as a country, and it's size is not even 0.5% of China landmass
Hence, china was never been united and is still not united as single country.
