Indian reunification

Indian Reunification is an idea of reunifying the Indian subcontinent into a single country under one government. Proposals of reunification include the countries, such as India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and other countries under one rule just like it was before the Partition of India based on religion. Parting on religious grounds has been the main cause of conflict between India and Pakistan as well as several religious riots and conflicts within several countries. This has even led to the cause of terrorist attacks on India from Pakistan. The reunification could be a possible solution to these problems. Countries such as South Korea, North Korea, Germany and Vietnam have been trying to or have been successful in reunifying the their countries.
History
Indian reunification doesn't only refer to the reunification of pre-British rule India. In the past, during the British rule, Subash Chandra Bose once advocated the unity of British India, (which consisted of modern-day India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Myanmar; he excluded the latter in his theory), Sri Lanka, Maldives, Nepal, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Iran. He held this belief based on the vast cultural relationships between these countries, for example; most Iranian people, Afghans, and Tajik people speak dialects of the Persian language (with the exception of Afghan tribes, most of which converse in Pashto language). Bose then linked the relationship between Persian and the languages spoken in British India, and the cultural and religious similarities, referring to large numbers of Muslims in British India. He then connected this theory with Nepal, due to its similarity in culture and language with the Hindus of India; Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), due to its cultural relationship with India and its linguistic influence from Sanskrit; and Maldives, being a fully Muslim country like Afghanistan, Iran, and Tajikistan, and its language, Dhivehi, being closely related to the Sinhala language spoken in Ceylon.
