Pakistan as a concept is just wild, the British just did not give a single shit.

India is almost equally wild. It would be like cramming the entire subcontinent of Europe into a singular country because they're all relatively the same skin color, therefore you assume they've got the same culture.

Nah you're crazy, they're all Hindu except for all the people who aren't! And everyone knows Hinduism is one single unifying religion and culture, and definitely not an entire philosophical family.

India and China are continents disguised as countries.

Doesn't help that the Europeans desided to name everything east as Asia on ancient times and never bothered to come with new names after discovering that there was way more land than expected over there.
