SPC (Join to see), India spanned to the western limits of Pakistan, to include Balochistan. India spanned to its eastern limits of Mizoram to Arunachal Pradesh, to include Bangladesh which was a part of the Indian state of Bengal. Some historians suggest that India extended south, to include Sri Lanka due to the Ramayana. Due to the Ramayana, some Hindu pundits suggest that India extended into the southern plains of Nepal. However, the great stories of Lord Ram and Sita (Ramayana) are intended to ancient folklore that have been practiced from generation to generation over a awfully long period of time. We have no idea whether these stories were written to develop a religious culture or to keep a certain standard.

The history of Kashmir and how it became an integral part of India dates back to 1947- 48. Kashmir was a princely state ruled by the Dogra dynasty, from Gulab Singh to Maharaja Sir Hari Singh. At the time of independence, Pakistan with the assistance of Afghan cannons attacked Kashmir and realizing that Kashmir would eventually fall, Maharaja Hari Singh turned to India for help. India under Jawal Lal Nehru gave Hari Singh the option of assession of Kashmir to India and Hari Singh accepted the terms. The Instrument of Accession was signed and Kashmir was integrated into India. Kashmir extended from the border with Afghanistan in Gilgit and Ballistan to the edges of China east across Aksai Chin. In the north, Kashmir extended to the Karakoram Pass, Siachen Glacier, K2, and the Trans-Karakoram Track. Its southern borders extended to the south of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh in India. Maharaja Hari Singh was given a free pass to the UK by the British Raj in India because the British Raj brokered the Accession of Kashmir to India deal. This is how Kashmir became an Indian territory.

Now, back to your question. Indeed, Pakistan and Bangladesh were part of India prior to independence in 1947. The British Raj split India along religious lines in appeasement to Mohammed Jinnah and the Awami Muslim League (AML) for a separate state for Muslims. The British Raj gave Jinnah a parcel of land cut away from India by an imaginary line drawn by a British surveyor Sir Cyril Radcliffe along religious lines. The British Raj felt that by splitting India the divide and rule would take effect, but instead the opposite took place. The cry for the British to leave India grew even louder. Sir Cyril Radcliffe was also employed to draw the line between India and East Pakistan at the time. Thus, the Radcliffe Line (IB) was born. The McMahon de facto or imaginary line which separates India from China. In the aftermath of the 1962 Sino-Indian War the McMahon Line was redrawn in the Eastern Ladakh Sector and India lost Aksai Chin to China. The British Raj divided India along religious lines to regain control of India, but this operation failed and the British Raj finally left India giving India its independence. Jinnah won Pakistan, but today Pakistan is drowning in its own economic vows that even the Jinnah palace and the Jinnah Park need to be leased out to bring in some income. Pakistan is getting warm with the idea of making India an economic recovery partner. However, India has made it crystal clear that India will not assist countries from whose soils Terrorism operates.
