India too is an ancient civilisation, more ancient than Chinese. So, China is not the only civilisation to survive.
Uighurs were always the problem from beginning. Just read how they continually attacked Chinese & Tibetans since they became Muslims
Nothing to do with being Muslims.
Since ancient times, Muslim Chinese had been very loyal to China.
From Admiral Zheng He to the Muslim generals and warriors who fought bravely to unite what is China today.
India was never united, but by foreign empires.
The foreigners did not rule as Indians nor became Indians.
India was formed only when the British came and gave India its name.
Maybe India will rise in the future but it is not the same ancient India.
Your language is different.
Sanscrit is not from India, but is first found in Syria.
DNA is different and the search for your myraid origins is still going on.
That's as far as I know, being not well versed in Indian history.
India had the potential to rise, but sadly after 70 years, it is still GOT POTENTIAL.
Especially after Nehru became leader of the non-aligned movement.
Now sadly India is better known for slumdogs, gang rapes and open defecation.
