You are 100% correct. LOOK at the all the wars they fought amongst themselves - often over the most trivial dogmatic disputes - in just a 200 year period:

Military experts said such construction techniques are associated with groups known for building tunnels in the Middle East, including Hamas and Hezbollah ynet|02.25.26 | 18:07
Polish border authorities have uncovered several underground tunnels allegedly used to smuggle migrants from Belarus into Poland, and officials suspect the structures may have been built with the help of specialists from the Middle East, according to a report Wednesday in Britain’s Daily Telegraph.

A global threat
If only there was a way of identifying Koranimals....
If only Poland, Ukraine, Belarus and Russia were UNITED with the rest of Europe in EXPELLING ALL MUSLIMS from the continent, instead of spending 4 years trying to kill each other.
Come on, Europeans love wars. Both World wars started in Europe. Even inside one country they fight each other such as in Ireland.
Only Hamas knows how to build tunnels! Those cartel tunnels under our own border? It’s actually Hamas.
It’s not exclusive to Europe.
Besides the Mahabharata which is basically a catacylsmic war, you have the Kalinga extermination by the Mauryas.
The Cholas, Chalukyas, Harsha, Pallavas etc. also spent centuries bloodying each others, destroying each other’s temples, etc.
For over two centuries (8th–10th century), the Pratiharas, Palas, and Rashtrakutas fought a grueling series of wars for control of the city of Kannauj.
The Chola Empire of the south launched naval invasions against the Srivijaya (Indonesia/Malaysia) and marched north to the Ganges, displacing local rulers through military force to assert dominance over trade routes.
The Maratha cavalry (Bargis) in the 1700s launched a decade of raids into Bengal that are remembered as some of the most horrific events in Bengali history. Contemporary accounts, such as the Maharashtra Purana, describe Maratha soldiers cutting off the hands and noses of civilians, burning villages, and systematic looting. It is estimated that 400,000 Bengalis were killed during these raids. The destruction was so profound that it crippled the Bengali economy, arguably making it easier for the British East India Company to eventually take control.
The Marathas also campaigned heavily in the Tamil-speaking south (specifically around Thanjavur and Trichy). Maratha armies frequently looted temples and oppressed local Tamil populations to extract “Chauth” (a 25% protection tax). Maratha forces were known for “scorched earth” tactics that led to widespread famine among local populations during their wars with the Mysore and various Southern Poligars.
The Europeans aren’t any more bloodthirsty than the other folks, they just got the ability to project destruction more effectively
As to “Even inside one country they fight each other such as in Ireland.”
This was basically two “nations” fighting within Ireland - the “Protestants” were pro-English crown, Scottish immigrants vs the native Irish.
This is no different than the clashes between Jain and Shaivites in the Pallava kingdom

lol
How many centuries you had to go back to find internal wars in India between different kingdoms?
I am referring to last 150 years or so. During this period Europeans have been more busy fighting wars than India. World war 3 is quite possible if Russia-Ukraine war does not stop soon.
To the last 150 years then look at the India Pakistan wars. Pakistan is essentially ethnically, racially and linguistically the same as north India. Bangladesh is Bengali like west Bengal.
150 years ago, India had the British raj, curbing warfare between the various nations of India
“I am referring to last 150 years or so. During this period Europeans have been more busy fighting wars than India. World war 3 is quite possible if Russia-Ukraine war does not stop soon.”
Let’s take the period 1875 to 2025.
India (i.e. Greater India) has had a number of wars:
1. WWII fighting off the invasion from Japan
2. 1948 - Indo-Pak
3. 1965 - Indo-Pak
4. 1970 - Pak-Bangladesh
5. 1971 - Indo-Pak
6. 1999 - Indo-Pak
7. 1978 - Afghan civil war
8. 1990s - Afghan mujahideen takeover
9. 1990s - Taliban takeover
10. 2003 - US invasion of Afghanistan
11. 2021 - Taliban takeover
from 1875 to 1945 India was part of the British raj, so no inter-fighting between Indian nations.
Since 1945 - until 1990, there were no wars in the European sub-continent.
WW3 is not going to happen based on Russia-Ukraine. Russia is unable to take over all of Ukraine - and no one is going to declare war on Russia if they do (or did) take over all of Ukraine. Similarly - Russia has no allies that have (or would have) declared war on Ukraine or anyone based on the Ukrainian counter-invasion of Kursk.
WW3 is not going to be due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine
Ww III will start when Russia will be attacked inside Russia. Desperate retaliation with use of nukes.
It already happened - didn't you watch the news last year??
No nukes
I am talking about a major attack, not a local attack
That was a major (counter-)attack by Ukraine and they also launched drones and rockets at Moscow.
Moscow can do nothing.
And no, this particular war isn’t going to escalate into WW3.
Something else might, but not this
In short
1. a leftist Eurocentric history focuses on the wars in Europe, ignoring the rich histories of the rest of the world
2. India is a sub-continent just as Europe is a sub-continent and just like Europe, India has multiple nations that, if the battle of Plassey 1757 had gone differently, would have been different countries
3. Indians nations are distinct - the Marathas killing Bengalis or destroying temples in Tamil Nadu are no different to Germans killing Poles or destroying French churches
4. European wars are no bloodier than other areas.
5. The Ukraine-Russia war is a localized war with no one else jumping in to fight for either side.
The Maratha’s have not fought wars since Shivaji was around 300 years ago.
European wars are on going.
