Shallow history. As is often the case in South Asia. The whole premise of the article is nothing less then deceptive and based on a cheat. Just because we have geographic names for regions does not confer on them a political or even a cultural unity. For instance we have geographic terms like Africa, Balkans, Latin America but these geographic regions have diverse peoples with diverse histories.It was because of this discrimination that the two nation theory emerged that divided the Subcontinent, first in two and then three countries.
The article uses the geographic term 'India' and presents it as a integrated political unit or a country that came under attack in 1526 and because of the Muslim intervention it led to fracturing of this country in our times. This is utter nonsense. India has rarely ever been integrated as a country anymore then that other geography called 'Europe'. It existed as geographic region with diverse peoples with diverse histories living in fractured political entities. The people he is blaming for 'fracturing' his India in fact did the reverse. They were invaders who integrated the sub-continent and gave it the shape it exists in today as three or four countries. Was it not for them the Indian sub-continent would have been a hotch potch of at least dozen nations like Europe. Thie writer has turned history on it's head to spread his fable.
To make my point tak a look at South Asia transposed on Europe. Islamabad falls somewhere over Frankfurt, Germany [most of Pakistan over France], Karachi near Barcelona, Spain, New Delhi near Croatia, Mumbai hits Africa in Tunisia, Chennai again Libya in Africa near Benghazi, Kolkata over Istanbul in Turkey and Dhaka capital of Bangladesh in Ankara, Turkey. This gives you some idea of diversity and scale. If anything it is Europe that has been sliced and divided by history since fall of the Roman Empire. India itself manages to score Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North Africa and Asia Minor.
