That only shows, we became Pakistanis by choice. You became Indian by chance. Had the British not colonized this land, there would've been no India (country) and no Pakistan. There would be many countries in the Subcontinent of India.

I think he means old city, that is still alive. Hmm so Kushans were an "Indianized" Dynasty :rofl: That has to be the joke of the day. So let me ask you sir, who else were 'Indianized': Sakas? Mughals? Perhaps even British? :rofl: P.S: Alexander the Great was an avid fan of Cyrus the...

No. Please see wikipedia article named "History of Peshawar".

I found an interesting report on this. Excerpt: "Possibly the magnificent Kanishka stūpa is depicted on a Gandhāran stone relief, exhibited 2008/9 in Bonn,Germany. The stūpa is shown on a quadratic pedestal, with pillars at the four corners. There are lion capitals on each pillar. Parasols...

Australia is a continent. If Greenland becomes inhabited vastly, it too will become a continent.

It would cost a few dozen million dollars.I don't know how many. China may help given it was Chinese Buddhist pilgrims who used to come here, and they documented its details. The World Bank may also help. It is funny to talk about it given the current economic situation of Pakistan. But in...

Please stick to the topic. Don't make it India-Pakistan history debate. I believe there is one man who can build this. The legendary Nayyar Ali Dada. Dada is currently working on a Mughal-style Grand Mosque in Bahria Town, Lahore. Previously he gave us Alhamra Art Council, Habib Bank (Mall...

Actually, nothing remains of it. And it CAN be built with the same old materials. Not every modern structure has to be made up of concrete and steel. And I am talking about building it as a Modern Wonder. Not exactly the replica of the ancient one, but in its memory.

Or, we can keep it what it is, and add a second name recognized in our constitution. Thank you for this. The preservation quality is truly remarkable.

Imagine if the pagans of Arabia were to rise today and say to Muslims: "This Kaaba has historically belonged to us . Our religion doesn't permit the construction of Muslim Kaaba here" How would you like it then Mr Fanatic? How would you like if US and European governments decide to raze all...

India is a subcontinent; a geographical region. Just like Africa and Europe. So no it doesn't cause burn. But it may burn some that the first civilization of India started in Indus Valley (Pakistan). Cheers :no:
