Over past 60 years, experts on India have contested fiercely on the question: Why should India exist? For some the answer lies in advancing the cause of Indian civilization. For others, India is no different from so many other nations, it has no civilizational purpose, and that it exists merely to meet the utilitarian needs of her people. Many in this group go to the extent of arguing that dismantling of India is a historical imperative. Some consider India as a contested space with unsettled destiny.
