What kept India united after the British left?

[Kamikaze Pilot]

How is the country that has historically been divided into so many small states has been so united and stable since 1947?

The answer perhaps is in technology and modern means of communication and transportation - telephones, print media, railways, airplanes, television, radio etc. Perhaps these are the things which kept India united for 70 years and consolidated the unity. Technology wasn't there in the past when 'India' consisted of many distinct small countries.

Neither it is united nor its stable to begin with.

The large part belongs to the fact that status quo hasn't changed much in India. Which fought two aggressive wars on your tiny neighbours and the fact you keep them harassed by use of terrorism be it the Tamil Tigers or TTP or Mukti Bahani.

Every time you make a booboo at home your establishment starts a war.

Aptly named hypocrite and mother of all terrorism.

Once a hipsters paradise. Now the rape capital of the world.

Incredible India

A mob masquerading as a nation.

So India indeed was created by UK?

India is united because of 2 men - Nehru and Patel.

Patel worked day and night to integrate various parts of India especially the Princely States.

Nehru conducted election after expensive election even though he was actually promoting the opposition by doing so. He also helped create multiple states based on linguistics nor did he impose any language on the nation. English and Hindi were official languages; till date India has no national language.

Look at other countries in Asia which became independent post World War 2. Almost all have a history of military coups, people holding on to power through corrupt and unethical means, even civil war.

Why this?

Why this?

Simple deduction of the regional conflicts of the past 70 years.

Not that difficult considering this is a defence forum.

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

The English language, the British system of government, and the British legal system.

You are better than this, at least that's what i deduct from my brief stint on the forum. I don't see much of Indians either here to piss off.

Why India should be named as rape capital? I did some research and my findings are completely different.

Mutual interest keeps a nation intact, nothing else.

Explain the slugfest before 1100 or so. I think people were more religious then but still not united.
