Ever since the missionaries landed on the holy land of भारतवर्ष, They have been trying to slice off chunks of populations and land mass for converting the followers of सनातन धर्म into their own criminal creed. One of the tools they employed was to portray that the idea of India as a nation state is a recent phenomenon and it never existed earlier. One sub plot of this devious plan is to show that the southern part of our country was never part of this consciousness and belongs to a different race, called Dravidian race (a term coined by missionary Caldwell).
The NCERT goons of the present regime have picked up the thread from there under the tutelage of the Italian mafiosi. Take a look at this extract from the book of class 7.
Take
the term "Hindustan", for example. Today we understand it
as "India", the modern nation – state. When the term was
used in the thirteenth century by Minhaj – i – Siraj, a
chronicler who wrote in Persian, he meant the areas of Punjab,
Haryana and the lands between the Ganga and Yamuna. He used the term
in a political sense for lands that were a part of the dominions of
the Delhi Sultan. The areas included in this term shifted with the
extent of the Sultanate but the term never included south India. By
contrast, in the early sixteenth century Babur used Hindustan to
describe the geography, the fauna and the culture of the inhabitants
of the subcontinent. As we will see later in the chapter, this was
somewhat similar to the way the fourteenth - century poet Amir
Khusrau used the word "Hind". While the idea of a
geographical and cultural entity like "India" did exist,
the term "Hindustan" did not carry the political and
national meanings which we assosiate with it today.
In short, South India was not a part of India. This is what the evangelists are using to create the North - South divide.
Let us look at the facts.
Notice that the most famous chronicler 'Al - Beruni' is missing from the list.
The reason is that his description of India does not fit the agenda of the church. This is how Al - Beruni describes India
As to the orographic configuration of the inhabitable imagine a range of towering mountains like the vertebrae of a pine stretching through the middle latitude of the earth, and in longitude from east to west, passing through China, Tibet, the country of the Turks, Kabul, Badhakhshan, Tokharistan, Bamiyan, Elghor, Khurasan, Media, Adharbaijan, Armenia, the Roman Empire, the country of the Franks, and of the Jalalika (Gallicians). Long as this range is, it has also a considerable breadth, and, besides, many windings which enclose inhabited plains watered by streams which descend from the mountains both towards north and south. One of these plains is India, limited in the south by the above-mentioned Indian Ocean, and on all three other sides by the lofty mountains, the waters of which flow down to it.
The middle of India is the country round Kanoj, which they call Madhyadesa, i.e. the middle of the realms. It is the middle or centre from a geographical point of view, in so far as it lies half way between the sea and the mountains, in the midst between the hot and the cold provinces, and also between the eastern and western frontiers of India. But it is a political centre too, because in former times it was the residence of their most famous heroes and kings. The country of Sindh lies to the west of Kanoj. In marching from our country to Sindh we start from the country of Nimroz, i.e. the country of Sijistan, whilst marching to Hind or India proper we start from the side of Kabul. This, however, is not the only possible road. You may march into India from all sides, supposing that you can remove the obstacles in the way.
If still some doubts remain, they are dispelled by Al Beruni. He continues:
The southern frontier of India is formed by the southern ocean. The coast of India begins with Tiz, the capital of frontiers of Makran, and extends thence in a south-eastern direction towards the region of Al-daibal (देवालय was the first city fort of Sindh which was marauded by bigot called Muhammad bin Qasim) , over a distance of 40 farsakh. Between the two places lies the Gulf of Turan. A gulf is like an angle or a winding line of water penetrating from the ocean into the continent, and is dangerous for navigation, specially on account of ebb and flood. An estuary is something similar to a gulf, but is not formed by the ocean's penetrating into the continent. It is formed by an expanse of flowing water, which there is changed into standing water and is connected with the ocean. These estuaries, too, are dangerous for the ships, because the water is sweet and does not bear heavy bodies as well as salt water does. After the above-mentioned gulf follow the small Munha, the great Munha, then the Bawarij, i.e. the pirates of Kacch and Somanath. They are thus called because they commit their robberies on sea in ships called hira. The places on the coast are : Tawwalleshar, 50 farsakh from Debal ; Loharani, 12 farsakh; Baga, 12 farsakh; Kacch (कच्च), where the mukl-tree grows, and Baroi, 6 farsakh; Somanath (सोमनाथ), 14 farsakh; Kanbayat (खम्बात), 30 farsakli ; Asaivil, 2 days ; Bihroj, 30 farsakh (?) ; Sandan, 50 farsakh ; Subara, 6 farsakh ; Tana, 5 farsakh.
Thence the coast-line comes to the country Larm, in which lies the city of Jiniur, then to Vallabha, Kanji, Darvad (धारवाड़). Next follows a great bay in which Singaldib lies, i.e. the island Sarandib (Ceylon श्रीलंका ). Round the bay lies the city of Panjaydvar (sic). When this city had fallen into ruins, the king, Jaur, built instead of it, on the coast towards the west, a new city which he called Padnar. The next place on the coast is Ummalnara, then Ramsher (रामेश्वरम) opposite Sarandib ; the distance of the sea between them is 12 farsakh. The distance from Panjayavar to Ramsher is 40 farsakh, that between Ramsher and Setubandha 2 farsakh. Setubandha means bridge of the ocean. It is the dike of Rama, the son of Dasaratha, which he built from the continent to the castle Lanka. At present it consists of isolated mountains between which the ocean flows. Sixteen farsakh from Setubandha towards the east is Kihkind (किश्किन्दा), the mountains of the monkeys.
There goes the missionary propaganda for a toss.
