[viper1972]

I'm Chinese from Taiwan. And I do know more about history than average person. So giving that India was united by the British, its a great achievement that India can stay together as a nation after all these years.

India was united as per the times that were prevailing at time culturally India was same and is same British didn't gave us magic wand called India so that we got united stop ur ignorant rant that British united India.

I totally agree with you that the nation state of India was created by the British Empire. When I said the same thing, I was attacked viciously by your fellow Indians.

I'm Indian from India. And I do know more history than average person. India has been in existence since thousands of years. It might not have been united like today, but so was USA, China and infact most of Europe.

Feel sorry for you that being a Chinese you don't even trust Chinese history where silk route traders have mentionmed India from Hi,alayas to the spices ofthe south.

A little correction..

While I agree that people of the princely states wanted to join Indian Union not all the rulers were inclined.. Nehru and Patel requested Mount Batten to discourage dreams of independence. ..

Mount Batten being a British had played his part, let's give credit where it is due...

The previous poster was saying we should credit the British for giving us the feeling of India..thats what I disagree with.

Britishers did not give us a magic wand but they did, unfortunately for them, revive the feeling of being part of a bigger unit called Hindustan...

So giving that India was united by the British,

For which you have no source or proof.

Since you acknowledge arp2041 perception, by implication you admit China was created by Japanese empire.

weird! . Is it attributed to Japanese colonial rule of Taiwan?

Dude, the operating word was Revive. ...

We were subjugated by invaders because we seldom stood together... warring like crazy within.

Indians were one and they new it just that it had to be brought out...

All things have been present from a long time and I will say again, the feeling was dormant, the culture was very similar.. it had to be revived which Britishers did ( Not because they wanted to)

Culturally the same, like Western European culture. So India subcontinent has its unique civilization. But civilization and culture does not necessarily equal a nation. Its the Brits the created India. And keep India together is India's biggest achievement as India was never a nation before British arrival, but a civilization equivalent to Western Civilization.

From 1857 to 1947, that struggle was not that small.

India is kept together by external threats and Hinduism. But without Britain, India today would still be a bunch of small kingdoms and princely states. Something similar UAE. And these princely states might form their own nation.

You are wrong about the external threats, there are very famous examples but then it wont stop you from ranting now will it?

India could have been a bunch of countries maybe like European Union but getting together would be the most logical choice..
