A question of Indian history

For some people to process and nullify negative information/criticism, they have to ascribe it to a ready framework of friends and foes. Apparently you fit under the Chinese tent.

:welcome:

Buddy check out some of his previous posts starting from his first one.His most posts are on chinese affairs,on how inferior indian stuff are to chinese(in threads about indian military equipments and not related to china),about low iq of indians compared to chinese..I remember when one ethnic chinese american posted something negatively about china,he was angered and was abusing him a race traitor.Isn't it natural that one 'mistakes' him to be chinese?
 
Since when societal homogeneity a basis for qualification as a nation, going by your premise US would not be a nation

America is unique...and it is also not a nation in the "historical sense".

This is your genetically inferior IQ speaking my friend. Genetically superior people beyond the Himalayas don't give two hoots for you lot. They only sometimes drop one or two posts(with patient smile that is) only for want of educating you people.
 
And yeah better get those disputed lands resolved before mighty and just dragon loses his patience and be happy with whatever land he bestow you as a grant.
 
i think these questions are baseless

for ex: he asked if we are proud of speaking english.... where as truth english is used as link language... India is the only country in which languages of 4 'language familes' are spoken.... so english connects all these languages

we are using english here on PDF does not mean we use it personally too... ..even on internet chatting with our friends we use only hindi written in roman script


describing muslims as foreigners is also baseless
 
2) Why has the Indian subcontinent been unified under foreign powers longer than indigenous rulers? I recognize that for most of its history, India has been ruled by myriad of kingdoms or Northwestern/Northeastern/Central/Southern empires but the duration of Mauryan (140~ years) is too shortlived compared to Mughal (330~) and Company/British Raj (100-200~).

I am going to try and throw some light onto this question of yours. Your assertion that India has been 'unified' under foreign rule more than Indian rule depends on what your definition of 'unified' is. If you are looking at the map of 'Republic of India' and asking who has been able to unify India like this then the answer is no one. Neither Mauryans nor Mughals nor Marathas nor British. But then Mauryans and the Mughal had much larger landmass under them then India today.

Also its not true that the Mughals ruled India for 330 years. By 1760 AD Marathas were the most powerful rulers in India. See map of Marathas below.

I have put together below some maps of the Indian Sub Continent from different Period of Time to clarify a lot of misconceptions there are about Ancient India and its rulers.

only the British and the Republic of India have done that.

Wrong. No one has ever ruled the whole of Republic of India as it stands today. See British India map above. There were many states who were not under the British e.g. Hyderabad and state of Jammu & Kashmir to name of few.

The fact is I think its unfair to compare or certify India or any other country as a nation in only geographic terms based on their existence at different period of time. Many countries had different geographies in history (e.g. Germany, England, France which was greatly reduced during the two world wars etc) but they exist as nations today.
