Nope country word is new but its concept is not new or unknown to Indian subcontinent. The kingdoms in India existed after due recognition and semi autonomy was given to tribal leaders in their areas by the Kings. Kings were considered God or "Vishnu" or Rather projected so that people revere them unquestionably. Quite similar to Greek, Rome or Egyptian kingdoms.(OT It was very funny to read one of such religious ceremony performed for IIRC Raja of Patiala in 1800's described an European)Country is a new concept or started in Europe in 17th century and then spread across the world in 20th century before that people blindly followed King-doms/Clan-Caste-leaders.
The difference with the Indic/Hindu people is ''our Kings are not considered as Humans they are GOD'S''. That is why so many people blindly worship the leaders in Indian subcontinent even today.
Nothing much has changed. Caste/Tribe politics still decide who holds power. The solution is intermingling of population via immigration to achieve more homogeneity. But for that every part of India needs to have equal job opportunities and industrialization level.
