Blabbering par was the following in your post, and in red in your above post;
"btw, arabia is not equal to pakistan. arabs may find this idea amusing though.
regarding arabian sea near mumbai, who the frig cares when the only ocean named after any country is indian ocean".
Source...
Who ever named the sea in English; had first contact with the Arabs....
When European/English reached the bay area; there already they found the adjacent state name Bengal; so they named it as Bay of Bengal; Bangladesh has nothing to do with it.
I don't understand the reason of above blabbering.
By your definition, Europe would be more of a nation than India.:lol::lol::lol:
India is at least ten times more diverse in your so-called cultural aspects............
So you mean that at time time of Mauriya or Gupta; they had a uniform culture in area under their control.?
This is really funny.
In Sub-continent, even now, for every 100 miles of so culture changes.
Surely, you are playing a prank on me.
Conquest is not enogh to make a nation;
Ghanghez Khan; Tamerlane; Alexander conquered huqe area; but non claimed that they made nation.
Definition of Nation is: a large body of people, associated with a particular territory, that is sufficiently conscious of its unity to seek or to possess a...
You can ask me directly, no need to involve third party.
However, pray tell me, why sea adjacent to Karachi, Mumbai is called Arabia Sea?
Why not Indian Sea or Hind Sea?
In my post I never wrote nation-state; I wrote nation and/or state: nations or states or kingdoms have exited for a long long time. Don't try to create confusion.
Please refer to my previous post
Yea, go to sleep.... you need to have comfortable sleep to stay sane.
:wave:
If a nation already in existence, subjugated by an other, don't keep track of its identity by how Master is making entries in its legal books.
Keep laughing and slandering.....:blah:
Yes; Again you looking for reference in historical records/books of other nation......................
India...
My view is that Dominion of India came into being in 1947, not the name of India, name came much earlier.
I really don't understand what your are trying to convey; British conquest consolidated the different states/kindoms in a single state name India; to which royal and populace associated to...
This is not the first Chinese company that is going to establish a manufacturing unit in Pakistan. These usually work in Joint Ventures in Pakistani partners. A number of successful companies are already in operation.
Local manufacturing or assembly offer reduced rates of customs duty and...
You will have to follow the whole chain of arguments and counter arguments,........ to make it meaningful. Nitpicking will not work.
India as a state existed from 1947.... India as a nation existed after the conquest of British.... when native of Indian Subcontinent settled on a common...
If you have't noted before (or playing possum), my answer was to the quoted post of 'baajey', who also thanked you for above post. Go read the post if you have not, where in he wrote that there was Dominion of India right after British completed their conquest.
I misused the term "British...
What ever you trying to convey is beyond me..............
-- Crown Colony on India existed from 1858 onwards.............OK
-- India existed within British legislation......................eh, from when Nations or state states existed from legislation of other nations......?
-- In fact, India...
My Point is very simple;
People (mostly Indians) say that Pakistan didn't exited before 1947; and in same breath, also say; India or Kashmir existed for thousands of years;
When asked, how so, one would say, Greeks mentioned in this b.c. the Kasperia; the Indus: the Indica: So we should assume...
There was no dominion of India before 1947; Subjugated nations don't have any dominion.
It was British Dominion before 1947: Dominion of India from 1947 to 1950, and Republic of India from 1950 on wards.
What you are trying to do is not clear.................
Kashmir existed because some thousand of miles away, a culture refer to a place as Kasperia (for the argument sake lets assume it referred to Kashmir) about 300-400 B.C., same way, some referred to Indus and Indica in the same time frame to...
Thank you for your post; There is nothing unfortunate about this, as there are multitude of opinion and observations on the concept/question of nation and nationality........; not just Pakistan specific.
This is alternatively() true for Indian-Subcontinent; If you take any place, as a...
So, you are equating Pakistan with the establishemnt of State of Pakistan in 1947.
Interesting; Pray tell me, what was before 1947. @Joe Shearer may shed some light on it.
