  1. There will be people who actually believe this garbage, so a point by point rebuttal is in order. 1. Mughals named Hindustan so we should be proud of them: they named the region they controlled in India to an exonym(name called by outsiders). Should my progeny let alone future co religionists be proud of me if i rename India to Hodu, if I convert to Judaism? 🤦 2. Mughals gave India its current borders: Bharat went beyond that definition before and till today appeals to the spirit within us. Hindustan was transient, so is India but not Bharat. 3. War was between the nation of India under the Mughals and the nation of Assam under Ahoms: this is the fault of civics education in our country which prioritises the "nation state" model(confluence of culture, language and genetics) as the only qualifier for what a nation is. Kingdoms are linked to state entities and made out to be a nation state. We reject the concept of nation state by our philosophy and historical base. We have always been a country with multiple kingdoms.
