Indus Valley Civilization is a Pakistani Heritage, Not Indian
During the entire over 9000 years of history of Indus Valley
Civilization, it was only on three different occasions that its
landmass was politically unified with that of Ganges Valley, its tributaries and adjoining plains. This was only during the period of Mauryan Empire, Muslim Empire, and the British Empire. For the remaining almost over 8000 years of its history, the Indus Valley Civilization remained a separate entity.
Therefore, there was much history and geography behind the creation of a separate Muslim state anchored in the subcontinent's northwest, abutting southern Central Asia. Muslim advent in South Asia began with the concept of al-Hind, the Arabic word for India. Al-Hind invokes the vast tracts of the northern and northwestern parts of the Indian subcontinent that came under a mainly Turko-Islamic rule in the Middle Ages and were protected from the horse-borne Mongols by lack of sufficient pastureland. To the extent that one area was the ganglion of this Muslim civilization, it was today's modern-day Pakistan.
Rather than a fake modern creation, Pakistan is the very geographical and national embodiment of all the Muslim invasions that have swept down into India throughout its history, even as Pakistan's southwest is the subcontinental region first occupied by Muslim Arabs invading from the Middle East. The Indus, much more than the Ganges, has always had an organic relationship with the Arab, Persian, and Turkic worlds. It is historically and geographically appropriate that the Indus Valley Civilization, long ago a satrapy of Achaemenid Persia and the forward bastion of Alexander the Great's Near Eastern empire, was always a separate entity as compared to the rest of India.
The more one reads this history, the more it becomes apparent that the Indian subcontinent has two principal geographical regions: the Indus Valley with its tributaries, and the Ganges Valley with its tributaries.
Aitzaz Ahsan, a Pakistani writer, lawyer, and a politician identify the actual geographical fissure within the subcontinent as the "Gurdaspur-Kathiawar salient," a line running from eastern Punjab southwest to the Arabian Sea in Gujarat. This is the watershed, and it matches up almost perfectly with today’s Pakistan-India border. Nearly all the Indus tributaries fall to the west of this line, and all the Ganges tributaries fall to the east. Only the Mauryas, Muslims, and British bonded these two regions into single states.
For the overwhelming majority of history, when one empire did not rule both the entire Indus and the entire Ganges, the southern and eastern parts of Afghanistan, most of Pakistan, and northwestern India were nevertheless all governed as one political unit. And the rich and populous Indus Valley, as close to the Central Asian frontier as it was, formed the pulsating imperial center of that unit.
The genetic studies of people living in Pakistan also confirm that they are genetically more closer to the people from Western Asia than the people of present-day India.
It has also been proven that the people of IVC, even after their decline, did not just vanish but remained in the same areas. As the core of Indus Valley Civilization remains in Pakistan, a large majority of the people of Pakistan are the direct decedents of the people of IVC and have little genetic commonality between the people of current day India.
And therefore, it is the people of Pakistan, who are the heirs of and also hold the cradle of this great civilization and not Indians.Any how,
Pakistan was formed on the basis of religion. The idea was that Islam as a political tool is sufficient to bind a country without the need to integrate regional identities.
India on the other hand, took a different approach but that approach not working well with minorities peoples in india.
