I was thinking of the contrast that serious separatist movements have gotten no traction since the Civil War in the US, but India has had two of them and wondering if a third was a thought.
Within today's India, there was first Tamil separatism, then Sikh, Kashmir and then a few small eastern tribal groups. They have each waxed and waned over the years for different reasons. Ultimately it is the duty of the Indian state to preserve & strengthen the Union while ensuring that its value for each constituent outweighs any ethnic or religious separatist sentiments.
The US is unique in being formed basically from scratch, and growing from there, rather than as a merger of historical nation/states.
It just seemed like our Civil War shutdown the separatists and India separatists had some success, so I was wondering if there is a likely further break or not.
