While India has been united for considerable periods of its history, the Western worlds have never been united - not since the fall of Rome in the fifth century. In spite of appallingly bloody wars the political subdivisions of Europe are seemingly permanent. Frontiers have changed only marginally over the past 700 years. In India, on the hand, the states of the present Union are largely artificial. It is not that European prince's did not overseas. All attempts to unify. Europe itself under one emperor, after the Roman model, failed. The Holy Roman was an empire only in the name. The Emperor, in spite of his bombastic titles was scarcely even king of Germany. These are some of the questions a and paradoxes that the author has tried to answer and explain in this stimulating and thought provoking volume.
