Except for few brief periods of history when powerful rulers occupied the whole of indian subcontinent, it was never one country. Rather had several small states throughout the history. People living in India too are not a homegenous group. They have different languages, different cultures, different religions, differen races.

You might have heard about Shakuntala and Dushyant love stories, their son name is Bharat and he ruled whole sub continent, that the reason indians call india as bharath desh
Never Think of Past - It brings Tears.
Never Think of Future - It brings Fears.

^The statement stands, other than few brief moments of history where it was brought under one ruler by force, India was never a country.

Depends on how far back you want to go. India has pretty much been one country (give or take a province or two) for almost as many years as USA has been in existence.

I do acknowledge that current boundaries are not sent down by God. The point i was trying to make is that no body divided India, it has always been many states in it.

Every country has diversity. There are regions which are different from the other regions of the country. At some point of time these regions may or may not have had rulers different from other regions of the country. You cannot expect every place to be the same just because they belong to a single country. These regions may or may not fall under different states in the present set up of the country. This has to do with the way the country is divided for administrative purposes.
