> I get a feeling that "Indians" is just a nation concept, it's actually made up of many ethnic groups. It's like Korea and Japan, and China being one country. Funnily enough India being a country is exactly like the idea of China being a country. The difference between the two nations is China having one of their golden periods in the recent past which allowed land territory to be mostly unified under common rule, pre civil war. Post PRC formation, there has been much more effort to homogenize the identity of a Chinese person. Also, the idea of China and Japan being one country is more similar to say India and Indonesia being one country just because one of them influenced the culture of the other in the past.
