Reply to comment by Extension_Ad6338 in TIL according to the Census of India of 2001, India has 122 major languages and 1599 other languages by Sistermateriial

That's a very Delhi centric view.

Ask the cholas, cheras, pandyas, satvahanas, nagas etc if they claimed to be the rulers of india ?

India was not defined as being the same as your country necessarily. India as a nation defined by boundaries may not have existed necessarily but it did as an identity (one of many), culture, etc.
