For sure.
Do all Indians have a sense of pride for “India,” or do many of the tribes not care?
Discussion
I really don’t know if all have pride. I guess everyone loves their country. There are things to be happy about and then there are things to be concerned of.
Let’s try again.
Do they consider themselves “Indian” or something else.
Until very recently most Americans would consider themselves proud of their country. Today we need a national divorce.
Are the areas likely to stay India over the next few decades, or will the country shatter into 30+ countries? Or something in the middle?
Oh, in that sense, definitely Indian. In fact, the other two countries, Pakistan and Bangladesh were part of India until they were partitioned during the Indian independence (1947).
There have been a few murmurs of separation among 1-2 states but nothing really big. As for the future, who knows. Of our elaborate plans…of everything that stands
Important question raised here imo, and I can relate.
My country of origin has hundreds of tribes, languages, and different cultures. From afar, we appear as a country with a flag, a national anthem etc, but from within, tribal identity is undeniably very strong.
Two provinces have started a secession war 3-5 years ago.
Africa's artificial borders have always been a source of instability, and it's a real and urgent problem every where you look.
Is it just the artificial borders, or would it happen either way? Meaning tribal battles would happen anyway..?
The answer is quite obvious. Wherever there is life (vegetal, animal, or human) there is competition for the scarce resources of the environment.
The competition will usually take the form of a conflict. This is true across time and space.
The point I was trying to make is that government intervention will always make things worse. In this specific case, through the creation of artificial borders, and the forced association of different tribal groups.
I'll add that I also believe that Bitcoin is hope because it can play a very important role in mitigating all the mess created by past, present and future governments.
That wasn’t the question.
Tbh I’m lost now, what is even your question?
Is it, would there be agitations / battles amongst groups of people. If so, imo, yes, there will be factions - countries, states, provinces/districts/counties/neighbourhoods.
What is even a nation? An area bounded by government control.
I don’t know what I’m answering here.
