[truth_]

> While British did unify India in terms of governing it, the people always recognised themselves with the king's region. E.g., Mysore region, Hyderabad kingdom etc.,

This is only true for non-Presidency regions. This was not true for Calcutta and Bengal, Madras and Madras area, and Bombay and Bombay area.

Not coincidentally, these regions were, and still are more progressive areas of India.
