First of all............the question of Indian emergence as a nation.
The history of India begins with evidence of human activity of Homo sapiens as long as 75,000 years ago, or with earlier hominids including Homo erectus from about 500,000 years ago. The Indus Valley Civilization, which spread and flourished in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent from c. 3300 to 1300 BCE, was the first major civilization in India.
But you can consider Maurya Empire as the Birth of India. Link of map is given below where you can see (even without eyes) that almost whole undivided India (including Pakistan and Bangladesh) was ruled by one dynasty, i.e., Maurya.

For your GK, it was one of the
world's largest empires at that time. At its greatest extent, the empire stretched to the north along the natural boundaries of the Himalayas, and to the east stretching into what is now Assam. To the west, it reached beyond modern Pakistan, annexing Balochistan and much of what is now Afghanistan, including the modern Herat and Kandahar provinces. The Empire was expanded into India's central and southern regions by the emperors Chandragupta and Bindusara, but it excluded a small portion of unexplored tribal and forested regions near Kalinga (modern Orissa).
About Indian in West. Let us take example of world leader in progress, i.e., USA..........Here it goes....
There are 3.22 million Indians in the US (1.5% of the population)
- 12% of scientists in the US are Indians
- 38% of doctors(physicians, dentists, PhDs, etc) in America are Indian.
- 36% of NASA scientists are Indians.
- 34% of Microsoft employees are Indians.
- 28% of IBM employees are Indians.
- 17% of INTEL scientists are Indians.
- 13% of XEROX employees are Indians.
Look at the percentage of total population vs. the figures given below. Now dare to tell me your mother country, we can have it compared with India, and find out where you stands!!!
Mind you............
The richest person in Britain Lakshmi Mittal is a British Indian with an estimated fortune of £10.8 billion in 2009.
A study by Joseph Rowntree Foundation in 2007 found British Indians have among the lowest poverty rates among different ethnic groups in Britain second only to white British. Of different ethnic groups Bangladeshis (65%), Pakistanis (55%), black Africans (45%) had the highest rates; black Caribbeans (30%), Indians (25%), , white Other (25%) and white British (20%) had the lowest rates.
Sikhs are on average the wealthiest Indians, and the second wealthiest religious group after Jewish people, in the UK, with a median total household wealth of £229,000.
