@WhatifAltHist I hate to say this man, but most pluralistic states are always having internal trouble. America, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Nigeria, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Turkey are all currently dealing with internal divisions. Rather it be mostly mundane like with Belgium and the German speaking parts of the country disagreeing on what language to have on their street signs, to the race riots that are going on in America and Canada, the the all out war in western china or the major insurgency in north India. Now know I do support the idea of multi ethnic countries, I only wish to point out that most only exist because of three main resons. 1. The nation is ruled over by a ethic hegemon, that will often suppress all other ethnic minorities, 2. The nation was formed from a mixture of groups that competing powers wanted, but was spared to keep the peace, and 3. They were forced together by arbitrary lines draw on a map from people who had no idea about the local cultures. Etho or pluralistic, both have massive fundamental issues and to act like one is better then the other is always a bad idea to who ever is making the call. Lover your work, and your views on future middle east as a major industry powerhouse. Keep up the great work my man.😄

@mihirmutalikdesai the ethnic hegemon I was talking about was the majority Hindu Aryans (not counting the non hindu speaking portions of the ethnic group). And to be more specific I and referring to the ruling casts, which still hold sway in the country side. Or at least that is how all my friends from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh seem to think it is. Also a language hegemon can be just as bad as a ethnic one, seeing how most of India rejected the us of hindi as the main language (especially in the southern half of the nation).
