美学者:1947年前是否存在印度?是否该被称为南亚?

Should pre-1947 India be called S Asia? US academics lock horns over name

1947年前的印度是否该被称为南亚?美国学者就名字发生争吵

WASHINGTON: The battle for India, pre-independence India, is being fought in California. In a long-running wrangle that has stretched over decades, academics and historians are once again fighting a pitched verbal battle over how sub-continental history will be taught in American schools. At the heart of the latest clash, the nomenclature of pre-1947 India as "South Asia" at the instance of some left-leaning academics, because, they maintain, the geographic entities of India and Pakistan came into being only after the two countries gained independence from British India.In other words, India did not exst before 1947.

有关印度的争吵,关于独立前印度的争吵,正在加州上演。一场争吵已经延续了几十年。学者和历史学家再次就美国学校如何教南亚次大陆历史而发生口水仗。最新一起冲突是,一些左倾的学者把1947年独立前印度命名为“南亚”,他们坚称印度和巴基斯坦是脱离英国而独立后才出现的。换句话说,1947年前印度是不存在的。

The proposal has enraged academics on the right side of the debate who say attempts to delete references to India and replace it with the "geopolitically motivated Cold War-era phrase `South Asia".... is "misinformed and bizarre."

这一提议触怒了这场争论中右倾的学者,他们认为删掉印度,并用冷战时期术语“南亚”来替代,是误导人的,是奇怪的。

"If this is indeed correct that `India' is not an accurate term for India before 1947, how is it possible that the word `India' has been in usage in some form or another from the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans? Did Columbus go sear ching for `South Asia'? Are the islands of the Caribbean Sea called the `West South Asianes' instead of the `West Indies'? Was it the British East `South Asia' Company that led colonial trade and exploitation?

“如果印度这个词描述1947年前印度是不正确的,那么印度这个词怎么可能在古希腊和古罗马时代就开始使用了?哥伦布是冲着南亚去的吗?加勒比亚海的群岛是被称为西南亚群岛,而不是被称为西印度群岛吗?是东印度公司还是东'南亚'公司引领殖民贸易和剥削?”

India exted even before America was discovered by Columbus. Remember the reason why Americans were called Red Indians.

哥伦布发现美洲之前,印度就存在了

记住美洲人被称为“红种印第安人”的原因?

India is S;outh Asia , it was never south asia. When I went to UK. Whenever some body asked me are you south asian. I said emphatically no I am Indian like are from and not east asia. JAMBOO DWEEPE BHARAT KHANDE....

印度是在南亚,不是南亚

我去英国时,每当有人问我是否是南亚人,我就会强调我是印度人,就如是来自,而不是东亚

India indeed didn't exst before 1947, but Hindustan or Bharat did!!!

1947年前确实不存在印度,不过印度斯坦或者说巴拉特倒是存在

 
Atul Jain

Bharat is d right name, all other names r offshoots

说巴拉特是对的,其他都是衍生而来的名字

I think next JNU cultural event would be to debate whether India exsted or not...... These hopeless leftist AHs...

也许下一次文化活动会是讨论印度是否存在

那些人真是不可救药...

 
Dilip

It should be called Akhand Bharat or Greater India as known erstwhile

应该称为“大印度”

 
Rajan Loknathan

India as a country came only after 1947 and that also because of the British unifying all princely states. The basis being Hinduism as Sri Lanka and Burma which were also ruled by the British were not unified with India.

作为一个国家的名字,印度是在1947年后才出现的,这也多亏了英国统一了所有土邦
