The British created India ???

I don't agree that Britishers defined the entity called India. May be India but definitley not Bharat.. Bharat existed and prosopered even when Europe was in dark ages. It has existed even when Greece and Rome which were its contemporaries have long vanished.

As per Europian defintion a nation is defined by boundaries, governments, rules. I don't agree. A nation is defined by soul. And the soul of India was distroyed by British. Even today piligrims from Rameshwaram offer water to temple in Varanasi. Infact before British I doubt if they even cared about states. The fact that former is in Tamil Nadu and latter in UP was introduced by British. The concept of North India, South India was introduced by British and has been cemented by our poilticos. If India has survived it is because of this sole. Sole that leads to melas at Kumbha and ursa at Ajmer. And I think the reason behind troubles in Pakistan and Bangladesh is that they are created against the sole. They are created in the flawed european model and are now being held up against the laws of nature. No wonder you need unnatural nation building forces like army to protect them.

Indian nationhood was different. Let their be states. let them fight. Let rulers be changed. But do not stop people to people interaction. That is the ultimate aim of of any nation building excercise. This is what Europe is trying to achieve now. This is what Gandhi said when he said that he will cross over to Pakistan and not recognise the boundaries.

I somehow feel that Indians would have fought a lot had british not come. But we would have been more propserous..Because the money would not have drained away as it happened with british raj.. And eventually we would have evolved as EU. Don't forget that England and France were the bitterest of opponents till some time back... And to some extent they still are...
