There were so many small provinces in India. it was a hell of a job done by the britishers in uniting all the small small territories into one large one.. Only when they learnt their mistake, it was time to go. So they divided India and left back.
Anyways, thanks Goras for getting us all together.

Does that mean that Mughals didnt rule the whole of India as we know it today ??? My dear India was as we know it now, never existed. There were always squarelling petty kingdoms. And India is the name given to all kingdoms on the east of the Indus River. Its the Mughals (We all agree to their brutality), who actually united India. The Marathas took over from the Mughals and the British merely took over from the Marathas. Read your history first.
