OFFICIAL CONSTITUTIONAL NAME: BHARAT
“India” is as much a country as the Equator: Sir Winston Churchill
Real name “Hindustan”…too hard for British to pronounce
The origins of the word Anglacized “India” Come from Hind
Sindhu…Hindhu…
Sindh….Hindh…
Sindh…Sindhi..
Hindhi …Indus…India..
The monkier “Sindhi” or “Hindi” categorized those living on the banks of the Indus….not those who live on the Ganges
Pakistanis live on the banks of the Indus. Indians don’t..they live on the banks of the Ganges..
Ganges residents should be called “Ganghans”
How many states can you count?![]()
(answer is not “1″, it is more than 570)
This article lists the more than 570 states that comprise the Subcontinent. Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh are only the major players. A discussion of the more than 570 states explains the Subcontinent.
Pakistan existed 5000 years ago as the “Indus Valley Civilization.”
A historical and tectonic divide existed thousands of years ago. The Indus Valley Civilization was on the banks of the Indus. The Genetic Valley Civilization is on the banks of the Ganges.
The people up the river Indus lived with the people down the river Indus lived together in 3500 BC just as they live togehter now.
The word “India” comes from “Hind” or “Sind”. It was called that because of the river Sindh. The Arabs used to call all those who lived on the river and byond Sindu or Hindu. The constitutional name of the country is “Bharat”.
The Persian Empire included Pakistan at times.
The empire of Taimur in the 15th century included Pakistan but not todays “Bharat”. The Malay peninsula has been defiend in many way and included many states and included parts of the Subcontinent and even Iran’s Sistan-Baluchistan. British Indian Empire included many countries of Asia, Afghanistan, Burma, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, Aden ane even Iraq.

The French Indian Empire included the Southern part of the Subcontinent, plus Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos.
The Dutch Indian Empire included southern part of the Subcontinent and even Indonesia. The Danish Indian Empire included parts of Southern Subcontinent.

The religious divide in the Subcontinent. The religious divide was real. This map shows the Muslim and non-Muslim population in the Subcontinent. The British Empire was a diverse land.
Notice hundreds of states in the Subcontinent.
The British Indian Empire showing parts of Burma, but Baluchistan, and Pashtun areas are not included.
The Britsh Indian Empire map showing Afghanistan and parts of Iran and Thaliand as part of the empire.
Many maps different parts of of Asia showing various part of the “Indian” empire.
Many states existed. Some parts of the Subcontinent were under direct British control also.
The boundaries kept on changing. Sometimes it included Aden, Somalia, Iraq, Burma, Nepal, Sri Lanka. At other times it included other parts of Asia. Sometimes it included Afghanistan, at other times it did not. Sri Lanka was part of the British Indian Empire at times.
“Bharat” is the official and constitutional name of the country. “India” was never a country. It was a conglomeration of languages, tribes, states, provinces, East India Company (Company Bahadur) owned poppy fields and British owned lands. The more than 500 states and many countries including Iraq, Somalia, Aden, Burma and others formed the British “Indian” Empire. After 1947 when the British were leaving the states on the West banded together to form Pakistan and the ones in the Gangetic Civilization banded together to form “Bharat” (Constitutional name of “India.”
The British Indian Empire, informally, the British Raj (rāj, lit. “rule” in Hindi) or simply British India, internationally and contemporaneously, India, was the term used synonymously for the region, the rule, and the period, from 1858 to 1947, of the British Empire on the Indian subcontinent. The region included areas of British India directly administered by the United Kingdom (contemporaneously, “British India”) as well as the princely states ruled by individual rulers under the paramountcy of the British Crown.
The princely states, which had all entered into treaty arrangements with the British Crown, were allowed a degree of local autonomy in exchange for protection and representation in international affairs by Great Britain.The British Indian Empire included the regions of present-day India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, and, in addition, at various times, Aden (from 1839 to 1937), Lower Burma (from 1852) and Upper Burma (from 1886) until 1937, British Somaliland (briefly from 1884 to 1898), and the Straits Settlements (briefly from 1819 to 1867). The British Indian Empire had some ties with British possessions in the Middle East; the Indian rupee served as the currency in many parts of that region. What is now Iraq was, immediately after World War I, administered by the India Office of the British government.The first 100 years were the East India Company years.
The British Indian Empire began in May 1858 when the British exiled Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar II to Rangoon in then independent Konbaung Burma after executing most of his family, thus formally liquidating the Mughal Empire. At the same time, the British abolished the British East India Company and replaced it with direct rule under the British Crown.
In proclaiming the new direct-rule policy to “the Princes, Chiefs, and Peoples of India”.. The Viceroy of India announced in 1858 that the government would honour former treaties with princely states and renounced the “Doctrine of Lapse”, whereby the East India Company had annexed territories of rulers who died without male heirs.
About 40 percent of Indian territory and 20-25 percent of the population remained under the control of 562 princes. In August 1858 the British Parliament abolished the English East India Company and transferred the company’s responsibilities to the British crown. This launched a period of direct rule in India, ending the fiction of company rule as an agent of the Mughal emperor (who was tried for treason and exiled to Burma). In November 1858, in her proclamation to the “Princes, Chiefs, and Peoples of India,” Queen Victoria pledged to preserve the rule of Indian princes in return for loyalty to the crown. More than 560 such enclaves, taking in one-fourth of India’s area and one-fifth of its people, were preserved until Indian independence in 1947.
The Pakistan that was proposed in 1940
A discussion of the sovereign and independent Princely States at the time of independence on August 15, 1947 is very pertinent to understand why “India” is a very ephemeral word.
There have been various differences in organisation before, repeatedly quite significant, during the British Raj.
Sri Lanka is now an indpendent state.
Pakistan is independent.
Bharat is riddeen with the same strife as it has always been. Today the Government of Bharat control about 40% of the area. The Naxalites control hundreds of disctricts as shown in this map.
The 250 million Untouchable Dalits are in revolt
The 50 million White widows (who are Hindu widows) are incarcerated in Hindu temples and then sold as prostitutes to earn a living. Source: Indian movied Water.
Afghanistan: Part of the the Indian Empire, it is now an independent country.
Afghanistan today is split by the part controlled by NATO and the other part controlled by the Pashtuns.
There are strong tendencies in the Pashtuns to join Pakistan.
Individual residencies
Nepal and Bhutan are now independent kingdoms.
