Umm... how is then India not separated? Too many languages (I know only 3 Indian languages, useless in 80% of the country), too many religions and sects (including 170M Muslims + Parsis, Buddhists, etc.), too many cultures (a north Indian might have culturally more in common with Pakistanis than with Indians from other parts).

Also I would request to pause the "you step off the plane, put that flag up in front of your house, and boom you're American" for some time. The meaning of "American" is currently under active and violent change.
