When I said nation I meant it in the context of ethnicity, you'll agree that some ethnic groups in India are as different from each other as they are from somebody from China, they all have their own cultures and histories, India is an artifical country with its current shape carved by the British. I admit race/lineage etc. is irrelevant in this day and age but language defines ethnicity, other aspects of culture are not so important because everyone now follows a cosmoploitan culture but language defines your ethnicity/nation and Indians have a different language for each state so...
As for heritage and all that, demographs change, the nations/ethnic groups which inhabited India were not the same nations/ethnic groups that inhabit India today. All this heritage talk is bullcrap, it's like a Caucasian American claiming the heritage of Native Americans as his own, it's the history of their land yes but not their heritage.
You talk of the Indus civilisation and the Vedic civilisation, that's my point they were completely unrelated and the Indus civilisation is not even in India, it' was in present day Pakistan and so is the river you claim the name 'India' to be derived from.
The Moguls were not Indian, they were foreign invaders, they were Persianised Mongols, when did the Persians become Indian? The name "Hind" (from which we derived the name India for you) was also first given by foreigners (Arabians) to the South Asian part of their empire.
I admit many nations inhabited South Asia and many empires ruled it in the past but they are not the same country as presentday India, they are just a part of the history of the land India and it's neighbours own, but that's it.
All of South Asia and parts of Central Asia were not always this one big great country called India like Indians like to imagine it to be. Just because India, Nepal, Pakistan and Afghanistan (Central Asia) were part of the same empires for certain periods of history or embraced common religions for little periods of time does not mean that they become one nation.
You seem to have a very over glamorised and illusionary, incorrect picture of India in your heads.
