Eighteenth century witnessed the decay of mughal empire in what we today call as India. Especially after the death of Aurangzeb in 1707, Mughal empire disintegrated within 50 years.

When British domination began in India there was no concept of a united country. Mughal Empire which had ruled over the Indian subcontinent had declined and it was the time when no major power was in control.

After the Mughal Empire, Maratha were the only superior power left and when they were defeated by British Empire, no major power was left to challenge them. It is important to understand that it was never really a native kings vs British Empire fight.
The concept of a united country came with the Indian freedom struggle. Typically in my opinion which started after the arrival of MK Gandhi which was also not as easy as it sounds because people were further divided based on caste, religion, wealth etc.

That’s why we have a national anthem, flag etc. they tell us that I have something in common with a random guy living in let’s say Tamil Nadu who speaks completely different language and follows completely different traditions. What I mean is, No we are an easy prey today because there is a sense of Nationality that unites us that didn’t exist before or existed towards certain rulers only who didn’t represented the entire subcontinent
