come on there was no 'india' before the british raj
it was britian that simultaneously put the country under a single political authority and then gave them an identity on the premise of them having a common enemy
the opposite thing happened in india as it did with turkey
also i think it's a bit delusional to think that if britian never wouldve come around the whole arab world would still be united under the turks and there wouldnt have been the arab revolts
but that wasnt what i was talking about
the islamic world instead of embracing the modern world more kinda rejected it then doubled down and grew more dogmatic
which has never worked for any country ever but even the chinese did the same mistake though it took a different form
but outwardly it ended up in these retarded countries like egypt, iran, iraq, etc
i genuinely think a lot of the characteristics that we associate with islam or modern day sunniism today didnt really exist or existed to a lesser extent and was morphed through this search for identity that happened in the 20th century
actually india is a great example for this because you really didnt see the level of hatred between hindus/muslims under the mughals even though the rulers were muslims you didnt really see wars or repression on religious grounds
that developed much later when british ideas got infused into the country
