Wrong again .... the current Republic of India was created in 1947, not in 1800s !!!
(And PRC was actually created 2 years later, in 1949... USA as a "country" with current form of goverment existed before both Republic of India and People's Republic of China).
It is the civilisations which existed through the ancient times, not "nation states".
And off course, in geographical terms as used in history, any reference to India implicitly includes the geographical area now under the countries of Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The oldest surviving religion in the world (Hinduism) has roots going as back as the Indus Valley Civilisation which worshipped Shiva. Rig Vega was written more than 1500 years before Christ was born, and more than 2200 years before Mohammad.
Just by having artificial borders created on land, don't wipe out the shared history of India (and the current Pakistan and Bangladesh).
Type of goverments keep changing ... but that alone is insufficient to wipe out historical legacy of civilisations.
Anyway, its not my job to keep educating ignoramuses like yourself on forums like this. Please feel free to remain so.
Actually, India with a concept of a unified country existed before independent. That is how your founding fathers know about declare independence from Britain and stay together. If they don't know that, they would go back to the old princely states to make up their countries in Indian subcontinent.
Thanks for acknowledging the fact that India subcontinent has its own indigenous religion. It further advanced the fact that India subcontinent is a geographical express, and not a country, as how Winston Churchill expressed it.
As for other countries like China and USA, their history is totally different from that of India and we cannot compare apples and oranges.
