We must never forget that the india we seem to take for granted is a recent event, before 1947 india was a bunch of many indias, Independence gave the current shape to india, there are many shimmering tension existes in these many indias. We require a Central Government who can take along all these India together,Who is all inclusive and not exclusive of any aspiration, be it be religion or region. Congress is the only party who can do it. Rest all fails on this important criteria.

congress has practically been the only party since independence (fro most of post independence) to have ruled the country, and the state of the country is there for all to c. Therefore, please don't put forth a biased view of the party you support, just because you support it for whatever reasons

During Chandragupta Maurya it was not a bunch of Indias . So it was not during various other times and till at the end of Mughal period, maybe a little earliar. Adi Shankracharya established four Mutts through the length and breadth of his country which was not present day Kerala alone.And so did the followers of Shakya Muni before Adi.You must never let this preposterous disinformation repeatedly parroted by our opinioted historions, take root.

This thinking is the exact reason for difference of opinion among Cong supporters and BJP supporters.
While Congis and Commies think India came into existence in 1947, BJP supporters know that India existed for thousands of years, bound by the culture and religion of hinduism throughout the entire Bharatvarsh.

India was India since ages....even before the Mughals. Read about the Gupta empire as an example. Or better still, check the Maurya Empire at its largest. It was even bigger than the present India,
