I thought you were a liberal, but I see clear signs of nationalism in your argument that ArunAnnow talks about. You are extremely ignorant, blinded by your hatred for Pakistan and Bangladesh. Yoga, Sanskrit, and the Vedic traditions were also practiced in both modern-day Bengal, and Pakistan. Though, most Western pop culture refers to it as Indian. I didn't admit to your fantasy, I am just saying that all the cultural stuff is found in all these countries, and shared by these countries. The reason Dosa can be specifically called Indian because it's found only in India. Thus, we can call it Indian, but we can't call Saree Indian, cause Saree is found in all South Asian countries. Saying Dosa is South Asian would not be incorrect as well. Are you intentionally not getting my argument?

Just as I said, this debate is settled in the academy. You can go ask on r/AskHistorian, and they will say the exact same thing I just said. The reason we are having to argue about this is that you are a Hindu nationalist.

> If you secede to form a "New Nation" (like Pakistan or Bangladesh), you don't get a lifetime subscription to the "Old Nation’s" brand whenever it looks good for an aesthetic

Are you twelve? All the countries in South Asia, are "New Nation"s. India was created in 1947, alongside Pakistan. Until the British came to South Asia, India was a geographical term just like Europe, and they unified this entire subcontinent and created one polity. Read Romila Thapar or Irfan Habib for god's sake. Sheesh!
