INDIA AND THE CONCEPT OF NATION-STATE
It is doing the same repopulation with Tibet. While China may have succeeded better than India in maintaining the unity of a larger nation-state, it has succeeded only through the power of brute force, which most Indians are not likely to emulate or want to see happen in their country.

Islamic countries have also failed in producing any large nation-state like India, China or the United states. The Islamic world consists of various small states like Iraq, Iran or Saudi Arabia, Which are generally military dictatorships or medieval style monarchies, often at war with one another.

The only type of larger state the Islamic world produced were religious empires, not states defined by a geographical region or common culture. Islam has failed in producing any real secular state or uniting any subcontinent into a country.
