India wasn't even anything until maybe 300BC

I thought that India, especially the Punjabi region, was populated since 7000 BCE, with the Indus Valley Civilization flourishing since 3000 BCE...

Please visit the GIT[^], and take part in the discussions there. That will help you get a vibe of how things work here (there may still be vast differences between the lounge and GIT, but you'll at least become acceptable here if you spend some time there).

It wasn't a country (or anything remotely resembling one) back then

I think India also invented "exageration" (or the integer overflow).

That's Indian slang for "leap of faith".

Ah, but I have read that India has toyed with the idea of invading Pakistan. Now that would be a site to behold. ;) EDIT: What is this considered then? 1965 Invasion of W. Pakistan[^]

You can share such India related information in GIT (General Indian Topics). That is better place to share.

Then why you send so many people to US? ;P Ant invasion! Worst yet, we started it here in Mexico a long time before you :laugh: So far we are wining! Sooner or later Texas and LA will be declared mexican territory :) Florida is out, we leave it to cubans and southamericans...

I already thought they belonged to Mexico. Actually, I don't think Mexico ever stopped owning those territories. I grew up in LA and went H.S. in LA and we had 2500 students in our H.S. and only 32 were "white" and 11 were "black" and the rest were Mexican and Asian...mostly Mexican. So for all intents and purposes, I grew up in Mexico...so I guess that makes me a quarter Mexican. ;)

Why is everyone so worked up on this? If India has existed for, let's say 7000 years, and in that time they never invaded any country then they sure did not invade any country in the past 100000 years, or long.MaxValue years or any number of years. This little fact (true or not) states that India has not invaded any country, not that it has been around that long. The fact that the website has the .gov domain is what worries me more. No governments would talk bad about their own country, so what we see there might be 'slightly' exeggerated uhmm... 'facts' :rolleyes:

It's an OO world.

It might be new for you, it is not for us. Also majority of people posting in Lounge are not Indians. These kind of threads might be well received in General Indian topics forum.
