What do you mean by "India as a concept"? A concept can be a very subjective
thing based on individual perceptions and experiences. So unless we first sort
of what the hell the "concept of India" (like the "idea of Pakistan") means -
we will have no basis for any discussion beyond ambling rhetoric.

Shiv,
I'm glad you chose the words "ambling rhetoric". My point exactly.
Strong personal opinions are sometimes stated as FACT . It is irrelevant
that it may/may not be true in this instance.
I was referring to the sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic
republic of India.
