Talk:Indians (Age of Empires II)/@comment-31256631-20170216152741/@comment-31256631-20170218144530

Quora is one of the more intelligent locations on the internet so... no issue with that xP

I actually don't know much about the  Mauryan  Empire =\ Though it doesn't feel like the unification left a strong legacy though since India wouldn't repeat it for a while.

Well, modern India feels almost like a hindu state bound by a shared religious identity. It would explain why they had to brutally squash many local uprisings from other religions like the Sikhs and Muslims (Jains are too pacifist). I would argue that to form a multicultural nation the regular idea of unity is still necessary -- i.e. France with its 3 cultural/linguistical families (Frank, Occitan, and Breton have completely divergent roots).
