Undoubtedly, down through the ages India has maintained geographical unity. Even, the seers of the past had visualized it. The geographical location of Bharatavarsha had been described in the Vishnu Purana.
“Uttaram yat samudrasya
Himadreschaiva Dakshinam
Varsham tad Bharatam noma
Bharati Yatra Santatih”
It means- “The country that lies to the north of the ocean and to the south of the snowy mountains is called Bharata where dwell the descendants of Bharat.” The kings of ancient India like Chandragupta Mourya, Asoka, Pushyamitra Sunga, Kanishka, Chandragupta II, Harsavardhan and others considered India as one geographical unit. In the medieval period Akbar, Shahjahan and others considered this land as a single entity and ruled over it. The British authorities also did the same thing.
