1. History of India

The word ‘India’ is actually confusing. And this confusion is actually liked and promoted by the jingoistic sections in current-day India. For, when the word ‘India’ is spoken, it adds a huge historical background and expansion to a new country with miniscule history of its own.
The word India was presumably used by the maritime traders of yore in various locations outside South Asia. It was possibly mentioned as a place from where they bought various kinds of merchandise in some kind of barter system.
It is presumable that not very many persons inside South Asia were aware that they were Indians in those times. This idea can be understood by mentioning that the natives of South America and North America were not aware that they were Americans before the entry of Continental Europeans into their locations.
However, when the Portuguese set up a miniscule dominion in Goa, they must have used the word ‘India’ or some other similar sounding word in their formal and informal communications.
The country of India was the creation of the English East India Company. This creation did not take place overnight. It took a lot of decades to accomplish this creation. And this creation was not motivated by any kind of premeditated aim to create a nation in South Asia. The only motivation that automated this event was the desire to insert a higher cultural and social quality into the populations in the places where the English Company was forced by events to take-over the local administration.
So the English East India Company-created India was the first India nation in South Asia. This event started a few years before 1800.
This nation slowly expanded to a huge geographical area. This was mostly facilitated by the overwhelming desire of the peoples in South Asia to somehow get associated and subordinated to English administrative systems.
This nation of India was possibly a first time event in the history of South Asia. In that, an immense number of varying ethnical populations who lived in far distances from each other got connected under the aegis of a single flag. That is, the flag of the English East India Company.
However, this creation of a huge nation did create terrible ripples in Great Britain. The British Crown did not view this historical event in a benign manner. For, the English East India Company was owned by a few English traders based, presumably, in London.
The British Crown was waiting for an excuse to dislodge the English East India Company. This opportunity was presented by Shipai mutiny that took place around 1857, in a small location in India. It is also possible that some agents of the British Crown might have given moral support to this hideous event.
The British Crown dislodged the English Company from its supremacy over India in 1958. India was taken-over by the British Crown. This was the second India nation that was born in South Asia.
The citizens of India were not fully knowledgeable on the historic change that was enveloping them.
The peoples of India had not supported the English Company for any kind of democratic rights. Instead they had supported the English Company merely to be under the English systems.
The British Crown rule was possibly terribly influenced by the unintelligent leftist and liberal thoughts that had always enveloped Great Britain for a long time. This led to a lot of unintelligent interferences from Britain on how India should be ruled.
This was to lead to the local Indian super-rich persons to manipulate various administrative features for their own selfish benefits.
Democracy was forcefully inserted into the minds of a people who had only desired to be under the English rule and to be proximate to English social systems. The arrival of democracy in India led to the beginning of political and administrative chaos in India.
Low-class unknown local super-rich persons started aspiring for political leadership.
In 1947, when the British Labour Party came to power in Great Britain, everything changed for the English administrative systems that were spread all around the globe. This insane political party’s political ideology was to disband the English Empire, and to make mincemeat of it
All locations all around the globe, which had been under various kinds of English administrative systems, were to be summarily handed over to local politicians from those locations.
Local persons with political aspirations, from all around the globe, who happened to be in England in those days, foresaw the events that were to unravel in the days to come. They placed themselves in close association with the leaders of the British Labour Party.
One such person was Jawaharlal Nehru. He, I believe, had enough proximity to Clement Atlee to plead that India can be given to him.
Clement Atlee was acting in super haste. For, all around the world, the various locations had to be handed-over in Standard English standards. That is, hand-over the power in a very elegant manner. And not to depart without setting up a good quality administrative system to takeover.
India, the Indian administrative and police systems, and the Indian army were divided between Mohammad Ali Jinnah and Jawaharlal Nehru. Both of them used the part of their Indian army to capture all the nearby local kingdoms wherein the Indian army had an outpost.
Thus was formed the third India, in South Asia.
Nehru used the name India for the country that was handed over to him. This retaining of the name ‘India’ simply gave the new nation a lot of claims on so many things that had been created by the English East India Company, and later retained by the British rule.
Moreover, the whole antiquity of South Asia came to be enveloped inside the historical claims of the new India. By this cunning use of India’s name by the new nation, all historical events and cultural settings in totally unconnected populations in South Asia came under the nomenclature of ‘Indian’.
