    That is the definition of separatism.

    Wikipedia says:

    Separatism is the advocacy of cultural, ethnic, tribal, religious, racial, regional, governmental, or gender separation from the larger group. As with secession, separatism conventionally refers to full political separation.

    You’re specifically talking about cultural separatism, which overlaps with ethnic separatism and is the most common kind.

      So India was engaging in separatism from the UK in 1947?

      No one is buying your attempts at pointless pedantry.

        Yes, although it’s usually termed “the British Empire” in this context. Separatism isn’t really a disparaging term.

        I would gladly discuss anything else you bring up.
