Finally they got replaced and united by the round coin with a square hole.

@@NabaTeron1479 China was consistently one state with periods of chaos. India has the Maurya, the Guptas and Delhi Sultanate don't count since that is only mostly Northern India, then the Mughals (which is not really even Indian really). Marathas is too short-lived and didn't reunify India. So in reality, India only had 2 major empires, the Maurya and Mughals. China has the Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Jin, Sui, Tang, Song, and Ming as unified and intact dynasties. I did not count Yuan and Qing dynasties because those are Mongolian and Manchu dynasty, but China is also unified under these 2 dynasties. In comparison, India was really disorganized ever since the fall of the Mauryas around 180BC, and didn't really become almost unified again until the 1500-1600s under the Mughals. This is why Professor X is correct, for majority of Indian history it was not an unified state.

While it's true that Qing held all these territories, it should be noted the Qing dynasty expanded China to its maximum extent, just because China did not have all these extra territories in the past does not mean China is not unified. Most of the time, the dynasties are listed are around the same size in approximately the same territory ever since the Qin/Han dynasties. The Shang and Zhou gradually expanded China as well as 2 of China's earliest unified dynasty. For comparison, no other empire in India matched the Maurya until the Mughals came, which is why I said Guptas and Delhi Sultanate doesn't really count since their territories are mostly in Northern India.
