I am an extremely liberal & secular person.
Having said that, even pre-2014, there have been scores of instances of "bhoomi pujan" while launching projects of govt & govt. funded institutions. No one seems to have had any issues with it.
Post 2014, RSS/Modi have been playing politics with it.

Let our imagination wild.
If states/areas south of Vindhyas (Maharashtra, AP, Karnataka, Kerala, TN & Goa) was one country, it would be much more developed & prosperous with higher per capita income. These 6 account for 46% of the GDP.
Revenues from these states are being diverted to BIMARU states.

Yes, we can only guess & imagine - what could have been.
The point to note is that the European countries have realised that size & geography matters, hence the European Union - a "replica" of what we have - Union Govt & Individual states.

Singapore is an exception, One of the reasons - its geography - a small island & its strategic location.
In the sub-continent, there would be many land-locked "countries & kingdoms" & that would be a disadvantage. I repeat, sharing of river waters would be a matter of conflicts.

True. We will never know.. Like the constant present-day narrative of the sanghis - if Patel was the 1st PM instead of Nehru, then India would have been "Utopia" with US$ 15 trillion economy, blah, blah, blah.
Colonise other lands? How can the colonised be the colonisers?

Result constant conflicts especially sharing of river waters & you name it.
Remember, there were 560+ princely states at the time of Independence.
The geology & the geography demands that the sub-continent be under one entity.
"jo huaa woh theek huaa". IMO, British rule did more good than harm

If British had not done what they did, the sub-continent would have had 15 to 20 or more countries - Travancore, Baroda, Ambar, Nizam, Mysore, Patiala, Udaipur, Kolhapur, etc. None would have had any influence on the world stage. Tweeny weeny nations.

(shut down in 1939 due to efforts of Tagore & Gandhi) were exceptions.
Other benefits also accrued to India. A massive railway network for example.

Not all British administrators in India were evil & cruel. Majority of them were reasonable, upright & fair, It must have also dawned on them that ruthlessness would not pay in the long run. They were here for the long run, so they imagined.
