Its mainly because 'India' is really a creation of British imperialism. Before colonisation, it was made up of a bunch of kingdoms (not called kingdoms, but that's pretty much what they were) with different cultures and religions and ethnic groupings. The area which India covers wasn't one country until Europeans came and drew those lines on a map. That means that although India is one nation now, the seperate states within that country have cultures which in some ways are much more isolated from one another than in the US for example. They have more history within each state (than the US) and perhaps less shared history between states*

That might need more clarification at some point!
