Flint, first sort this problem out amongst yourselves. debate with srijeesh, and tell us which is correct.
When Bharatias themselves are not of one view concerning what constitutes India, then how can you lecture us?
I can see you're bactracking now srijeesh. Peer pressure makes one change views instantly, I guess.
Thell me, Where did the mahabharat take place, whence the name bharat is derived in literature?
Its not about labelling, but about substance. We're talking geography here.
Maybe you can answer the question i put to srijeesh.
New Recruit
Would that mean Manmohan Singh is a pakistani.Dear Vinod, Multan is in Pakistan. Therefore Brahmagupta would be an Ancient Pakistani.
you got it wrong. kurkushetra is in Haryana, not near delhi. it is 160 km away from delhi. while hastinapur is closer to delhi.
It is basically teh region of doab and Bharat, derived from the ancient king Bharata.
Even ancient Magadh, Pataliputra, is in Doab.
The kings (if you chose to call them that) were almost all small rulers of principalities from the ganga jamuna doab region.
Dear Vinod, Multan is in Pakistan. Therefore Brahmagupta would be an Ancient Pakistani.

backtrack from wat?
Pandava army
A manuscript illustration of the Battle of Kurukshetra, fought between the Kauravas and the Pandavas, recorded in the Mahābhārata.
Seeing that there was now no hope for peace, Yudhisthira, the eldest of the Pandavas, asked his brothers to organize their army. The Pandavas accumilated seven Akshauhini army with the help of their allies.Each of these Akshohinis or divisions were led by Drupada, Virata, Dhristadyumna, Shikhandi, Satyaki, Chekitana and Bhima. After consulting his commanders, the Pandavas appointed Dhristadyumna as the supreme commander of the Pandava army. Mahābhārata says that kingdoms from all over ancient India supplied troops or provided logistic support on the Pandava side. Some of these were: Kekaya, Pandya, Cholas, Keralas, Magadha, and many more.
[edit] Kaurava army
The Kaurava army was consisted of eleven Akshauhinis or divisions. Duryodhana requested Bhishma to command the Kaurava army. Bhishma accepted on the condition that, while he would fight the battle sincerely, he would not harm the five Pandava brothers. In addition, Bhishma said that he would not fight alongside Karna. It is believed by many that Bhishma's decision not to let Karna fight under his command was due to his affection towards the Pandavas - the Kauravas would be overwhelmingly powerful if both he and Karna appeared in battle simultaneously. However the excuse he used to prevent their simultaneous fighting was that his guru (Parshurama) was insulted by Karna. But the real fact was that Bhisma knew that Karna was a Kaunteya(Son of Kunti) from the day he met him in Ranakshetra when Karna offered Arjuna to fight against him. Regardless, Duryodhana agreed to Bhishma's conditions and made him the supreme commander of the Kaurava army, while Karna was debarred from fighting. . Apart from the one hundred Kaurava brothers, headed by Duryodhana himself and his brother Dushasana, the second eldest son of Dhritarashtra, the Kauravas were assisted on the battlefield by Drona and his son Ashwathama, the Kaurava's brother-in-law Jayadratha, the brahmin Kripa, Kritavarma, Shalya, Sudakshina, Bhurisravas, Bahlika, the evil Shakuni, and many more who were bound by their loyalty towards either Hastinapura or Dhritarashtra.
Neutral parties
The kingdom of Vidarbha, with its King Rukmi, and Balarama were the only neutrals in this war. [4]
Same old agenda of cramming the term "India" into everything Pakistan with an intent of misleading people, discrediting Pakistanis, and promoting India.
