I don't believe that the Indians teach their children or proclaim through their officials that India was an autonomous country inhabited by the Indian people from the dawn of time until the British conquered it.

Having thought about this issue a bit more, some comments :

There is a variation of this concept in India currently. Not surprisingly it is along religious lines. Example : There is a site in Northern India, where the Hindus claim it as "land where a hindu god lived many thousand years ago" (and therefore a hindu temple should be built there). In more recent times (like a few hundred years ago) a Muslim Mosque was built on that site (was broken down a few years ago). Now there is a religious fracas on "who owns that land" and should a temple or mosque be built on it.

To be fair, none of this is "taught in schools", and the Government official response is "let the courts decide".
