There are many culteral differences and even different languages that are not mutually intelligible between different states and provinces. Europe is a union, but not a single country. Perhaps India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and other nations in South Asia could be part of a union, but I don't really think that it would work out as a single country.
In fact, present day Myanmar/Burma was also governed by the British prior to World War II, but it didn't become part of India (mainly due to the British separating it from India in the late 1930s).
Would Nepal want to be part of the single country, given that it was never colonized by the British?
- Aloha 5y agoI think it would have worked out as a federal structure, yes, a high degree of regional autonomy, with a shared economy, military and foreign policy.
