I don’t know how this video got it wrong. I’m no expert on Pakistan but I know Punjabi’s speaks Punjabi and that Urdu was Chosen as the national language so it doesn’t look to favor the biggest ethnic group, Punjabis. Also, not sure what you meant by undivided India. I’m assuming you mean the India in 1947? Because historically, greater India was not undivided but many different nations or states.

@PseudoProphet greater India (what we now know as India Pakistan Bangladesh) was probably never undivided until the Brits. India we now know was rarely undivided and almost always a few different nations or whatever the appropriate term would be (state?).

@BOIOLA08 exactly. It’s only important as a back up route but it’s super expensive and not practical other than in time of need.

@BOIOLA08 exactly. And even then, it only provides some relief because no way it could replace even half of what Chinas has coming through those straights near Malaysia.

BRICS will never turn into anything more meaningful than just a forum for them to talk like a weaker version of the G20. China is has close and better relations with Indias biggest enemy and India is part of QUAD with U.S., Australia and Japan to counter China in the region

Apparently not!

@trumpfuckbidentrumpfuckbid4859 China's total debt to GDP is higher than the US and that's using the GPD figures reported by China itself. Some estimates have China's GDP real gdp at maybe half of what China reports so their total debt to GDP could be easily over twice that as the US. Considering that Chinese currency is only the 5th most used currency and the US is far away above, this is a big problem for China. Or it will be if their economy sees more stagnant long term growth.

@vyom7387 the Mughals mostly did have it unified but for a short time. They quickly lost the South where a little bit wasn’t conquered. When the Brits came, Mughals had already lost most of their lands. I guess it was culturally United but so many languages and so many religions that I don’t know how united culturally it was
