It was and still referred as Subcontinent not india I wonder where did you get yr education.
Can you name any one source to support your claims? I take it you are one of those who believes that the Radcliffe line runs along the Indian tectonic plate.
No one says India has always been a "country". A country is modern thing. There were no countries before modern times. But when we say that countries like India and China are very old, we mean their civilization, culture and traditions are very old.Man all this is funny....India was never really a country it was always pieces of kingdoms....whose borders were always shifting during different eras...
What the foreign writers wrote about India is more of its way of life...its culture rather than a united land mass!
However whatever the case I dont understand why all over PDF this becomes questionable esp if someone opens a thread to rejoice Pakistan
Is there some form of secret jealousy or hatred?!
Thank God you didnt give me some new jargon I just said that or do Indians only understand it when they write it?
Is that what they tell you? Seriously? Maybe you need to get out of India and consult before issuing such stuff...There is no doubt the cultures are well known then again many also equate them to African cultures...And dont forget they use Hinduism as Indian cultures nothing else...Hinduism is equated to India and vice versa...
Well I am not sure if it is world's most well known or India's most well known....Since I have not browsed through every page hence I cant argue that bit!
And what is it that I support? What is not accepted?

It's considered the most scholarly of all encyclopedias in the world, I assure you that. In historical context, you will see most historians using words India for Indian subcontinent.
Really you didn't even read the introductory part on Pak and its history on EB?Wait I just googled Pakistan on Britannica.com
PAKISTAN
The intelligence community of Pakistan is one of the most sophisticated in the world. The ISI (Inter-Service Intelligence), which is responsible to the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense, has undertaken major foreign intelligence and covert operations, such as the funding and training of Afghan partisans during their guerrilla war against the Soviet Union in the 1980s, the arming and training of the Taliban movement before the terrorist bombings against the United States in September 2001, and allegedly providing close support to separatists in the disputed territory of Kashmir. In addition to the ISI, separate tactical intelligence services are maintained by the three branches of the Pakistani military. The Intelligence Bureau carries out domestic surveillance against the general population....
No India anywhere...which book were you reading again?
And what is it that I support? What is not accepted?
Oh yes how could I forget not until someone writes something from word to word an Indian cant understand it ...My apologies! Well, if you really read the encyclopedia you recommended it talks about India then Islam and how it made India what it is...then it also talks about the tectonic plates and it also talks about alot of things which if summed up can mean alot of what each member is telling you...

Really? No one came up with middle east until recently....Heck, most of the states which were called Russia should have been called Turkey then!
Most of Asia would have been called either Turkey or Iran then but it wasnt!Most likely British...The Persians and Arabs called it Industan just coz it was beside the Indus river (also called Hind and hence Hindustan) or prob even Indi for Indus dweller! No India....Who referred it as subcontinent. What is the word for subcontinent in Persian and Arabic languages.
They say Indus valley civilization as oldest not India...You mean to say famous Historians cant even both to be specific? Really? Esp when they will bash you if you arent...I am damn sure you are referring to Indians again....BTW, I never studied in Pakistan so your jargon doesnt apply to me!
However you studied in India and hence what I say may apply to you too...Only happens in India!Now that is new to me! An encyclopedia being given soo much attention as a scholarly book! Usually it is dismissed as a reference book.... Most historians use words such as Indus Civilization I am not sure how Indians see it as Indi a
Again It happens only in India!Oh thats interesting you missed the next line let me help you
At least the author is honest enough to say that that section presents the history from partition of British India...Never did it say that Pakistan wasnt there before the author just chose to start writing from there...any probs?!
I dont see the sentence Pak's history begins with...
I said among the oldest civilizations. And because you didn't provide any counter argument sourced to a reputed and neutral work of history, I hope you accepted the point I was making.They say Indus valley civilization as oldest not India...You mean to say famous Historians cant even both to be specific? Really? Esp when they will bash you if you arent...I am damn sure you are referring to Indians again....BTW, I never studied in Pakistan so your jargon doesnt apply to me!
