Heard of 'Bharat' or 'Bharatvarsh'? This Sanskrit term was used albeit loosely for the subcontinent in the Iron Age texts millenia before the British Raj. It means 'land of the cherished'. It is a geographical and cultural term. This term is one of the two official names for the modern Indian state given in its Constitution.

Viewing the Indians from the prism of Western Nationalism is a huge injustice to its timeless culture and to its great and little traditions. India has been a civilization state since the dawn of history. Check out the history page in AoFE, and see the timeline of Indians and compare it with others, then you will know.
