Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated that India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan were historically part of a larger entity called 'Bharatvarsh'. Speaking at a book launch, he asserted that the British conspired to divide India to weaken it, leading to the 1947 partition. Adityanath referenced ancient texts and historical coins to support his view of a unified ancient India, criticizing Western intellectuals for promoting division.
