The present-Day Modern India is a Man-made country at the core of Southern Asia. The name arises from the Indus River (a major river flowing through Pakistan, China and Occupied Kashmiristan) and the surrounding region. When we all refer to India today, are we referring to the Historic India that ancient historians and explorers wrote about? Turns out it’s not. The India of today is not the historic India…ironically Pakistan is. Are you Confused? You should be!
Unfortunately European colonialism played a big role in how the term “India” was misused and mislabeled. To discuss this more in detail, it first needs to be defined to some basic terms:
When “Republic of India” is mentioned, we are referring to Bharat or modern-day Indian Republic (1947 to present).
When “India” is mentioned, we are referring to its historic definition (the Indus Valley Region in modern-day Pakistan) as cited in Vedic, Persian, Greek, Macedonian, Arab, Chinese and Roman sources.
Please Note: The Words of Hind, Hindi and Hindu-stan are actually corrupted vocabularies of Sindhi, Sind 'h' and Sindhu which are today an essential integrated part of Pakistani Cultural fabric, Society and Geo-history. Modern-day Pakistanis have suffered an identity crisis in their efforts to distance themselves from their Subcontinental origins.
The reasoning is simple really. The present-day territories of Pakistan, Seceded India and Bangladesh were all a part of the British Empire within the British India 1858-1947. After the Partition of British India, the New Union decided to keep on the Old name of the Empire and most countries, including the UN, saw the New Union as a continuing personality of the Old Empire which has joined UN in 1945 as "India", which obviously infuriated Pakistan whom everyone saw as a new state which seceded from India? rather than British India! as an "Equal" in Partition/Independence 1947.
