If Europe is classified as it's own separate continent, India should be too.
>>
And Turkey/Saudi Arabia too

why?

>>218979378
>>218980088
Might makes right, we are a continent because we chose to be one, you are not because you were told to.
>>
>>218980088
Because both are peninsulas of asia
>>
>>218979378
No, because it shares many important elements that make up the concept of a 'continent'. India has similar flora and fauna as the rest of Asia, it shares a history with the rest of Asia, and there's no geographic uniqueness unless you look at the Earth's crust.
Europe has many unique qualities that separate it from Asia. Trying to claim that Portugal and China are on the same continent is nonsensical. But China and Turkey being on the same continent makes perfect sense when you think about things like the Silk Road.

But it already is

Europe too, by all criterias europe is just a peninsula.
>>
>>218980190
Europe has copy paste flora and fauna of north asia with extra steps
>>
>>218979378
Europe being it's own continent is just copium, there is no real reason to separate Eurasia

What would change if it was?
What countries would be included in?
>>
>>218980666
It's opposite, Eurasia is brown coping concept. We support the idea that Europe and Asia is separated continent because we secretly wanted to seen Japan as different continent too.
>>
>>218980790
Eurasia is Eurasia. A continent without copes. Nobody cares what you want to be
>>
>>218980830
"Continent" itself is the invented concept of western nature science.

This hurts to watch

>>218981087
its scientifically accurate
>>
>>218980936
So it's funny that they contradict themselves, it breaks logic. Also if people created name to something, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Lions weren't creted by humans because word lion was created by humans o aglo. Do you understand?
>>
>>218979378
I agree so they stop including Indians in Asian street interviews.
>>
>>218980130
You didn't chose shit.
>>218979400
This would be retarded as Anatolia and Levant are THE Asia.
>>218980190
>>218980666
Europe being a separate continent goes back to the Greeks, and in general the ancient view of the world.
I don't know why autists try to come up with dumb definitions, which always fail to meet a satisfactory answer.
Simple fact is Africa, America, Asia, Europe, Oceania and Antartica are continents due to traditional reasonings.
>>
>>218981122
>Also if people created name to something, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
And it proves that Europe and Asia are different continents scientifically even before Europeans defined it. You step Asians only scattered around Asia (including China), but none of them could reach at European continent.
>>
>>218981122
This is the issue of universals and particulars, dates way back.
>>
>>218980190
I dont think India cucking the Chinese and Japanese with their obscure religions make them similar, just like Anglos arent middle eastern.
>>
>>218981170
Indo-Europeans were on the steppe first, and they did arrive to Europe, obviously. But even later nomadic steppe peoples arrived to Europe, there's the Huns, the Hungarians, the Turks, the Pechenegs, the Kalmuks, etc.
>>
>>218981223
How is it cucking? Buddhism is a kino religion.
>>
>>218981256
Buddhism is a religion that was created by an Indian prince that wanted to challenge Hinduism and the norms of Indian society. To be a buddhist you had to agree that specific stuff of Hinduism are actually true, like reencarnation, which the Japanese didnt use to believe before Buddhism. Also eating beef became illegal in Japan for centuries. Thats pretty cucked imo
>>
>>218981282
eating beef was not illegal in Japan. You have to restart next life with less karma point though.
>>
>>218981163
Why isn't MENA one continent then? There's cultural and trade continuity from early on.
Under roman empire, persian empire, egyptian-levant, ummayads, etc.

The Yankees spiritually corrupted you, Senhor Takashi
>>
>>218981342
Because it was never thought to be one continent? Greeks lived both on Europe, the Balkans, and Asia, Anatolia, it wasn't about culture.
Did Indians, historically, ever think that India was a separate contient from Asia?
>>
>>218981170
Are you pretending to be this dumb or really are? You also lack knowledge of history. I don't want to talk with fools
>>
>>218979378
Conveniently forgot to draw on Caucasian mountains and Bosphor?
>>
>>218981381
You're proceeding with your argument while denying the fact that Europe and Asia are separate continents, which is why your argument falls apart.
>>
>>218980130
North America is a continent thoughever, svengol.
>>
>>218979378
Europeans ruled the world so they got their own continent.
If Jeets ruled the world instead then saars would get their continent as well
>>
>>218981541
North America is a subcontinent, not a continent.
>>
>>218979378
India should be relocated to the middle of the Pacific and carpet nuked

Not like Europe, but it was thought to be part of the arab-muslim world. Many historic leaders, and even current era leaders like gamal nasser, saddam and gadaffi wanted it to be one civilizational & political unit due to historic memory.

>Did Indians, historically, ever think that India was a separate continent from Asia?
Continent is a modern term, mainland India was the "known world" for people living in it. Seperated on the north by a mountain range, to south by sea.

They was internally fragmented kingdoms and dynasties like Europe, that cared more for local identity like tribe, caste/jati, village or kingdoms rather than a civilizational one. But like Europe there was a strong tribalism with what lied outside the vedic cultural sphere. i.e the persians, chinese and central asians.

When I was in school I was taught India was a "subcontinent"
>>
>>218981665
You're a dumbass just as I imagine about the stereotypical stepslimes
>>
>>218981685
Yeah, Europeans have traditionally regarded Europe, Asia, and Africa as three distinct continents of equal standing. If you've seen Ptolemy's map, you'd notice that, but thirdies who swallow modern internet information won't realize it.
