    Hindustan is not India

    'Copy pasted' :yahoo: Seriously, what is your point here, if you have any to begin with in the first place? :what:

    Hindustan is not India

    Again, you have totally missed the point of my argument. I am not arguing for the similarities or differences. I have already said earlier that the basis for them, is the Hindustani language, you have completely missed my point. And no, the word Khuda as well as Allah is used, I don't know where...

    Hindustan is not India

    I do agree with the fact that both Urdu and Hindi mostly have their basis in the Hindustani language. However the fact is that Urdu developed over a period of around eight hundred years, while Hindi is merely around a hundred years old. If you take English, and purge it of all Greek, Latin and...

    Hindustan is not India

    Not really dialects in the conventional sense, since both incorporate elements of different language families and are written in different scripts, but in a sense they could be. But that is not my point here. What the Wikipedia article does is take Hindi to be synonymous with Hindustani which...

    Hindustan is not India

    That is Hindustani you are talking about, not Hindi. I recognize Hindustani. Hindi, on the other hand is a language that has been purged of all Persian, Arabic and Turkish influences in the 19th century, by Hindu nationalists. These days the term Hindustani has become synonymous with Hindi but...

    Hindustan is not India

    Alright, this is getting really absurd now. Do you have PTSD related to this subject? You don't have an argument here do you? I tried to be respectful and to understand what you were trying to say, but your labelling of something that you cant argue on as 'propaganda' is hilarious. Again, as I...

    Hindustan is not India

    Ok, fair enough, but if you didn't want to argue on this, you could've simply you know...not comment maybe? Calling people fakes and then refusing to explain why is not the way. Honestly, your reaction is kind of over the top for this, either tell me how I am wrong before calling me 'not...

    Hindustan is not India

    Honestly, why are you dodging the question, labelling me as a troll and a 'goon' (lol), when I havent abused anyone or have been troll-like? If anything, you'd fit the definition, labelling people as trolls, goons and fakes without bothering to explain why.

    Hindustan is not India

    @Joe Shearer Please tell me how anything I have said is 'fake'. The thing is, that there has been no literature of 'Hindi' i.e Hindustani + Old Sanskrit used for higher vocabulary, before the 19th century.

    Hindustan is not India

    Do you even know how Hindi was formed? Urdu and Hindustani are synonymous with one another...both terms are intertwined. Hindi is a bastardisation of Urdu. In the late 1880s, north Indian Hindu nationalists were fed up with Urdu/Hindustani becoming the dominant language. After the failed 1857...

    Children of the Indus

    I think it was Adi Shankara, an 8th century Hindu saint, more than any of us or Aitzaz Ahsan really, that had the strongest case for the seperation of the Indus Basin from Ganges-Dravida land. He was the one who formed 'Shankaracharya' or the heads of monasteries in four corners (in addition to...

    Children of the Indus

    Nope, technically the oldest written records are those of the Indus Valley Civilization, which however are yet to be deciphered, but that does not mean that they dont exist (same used to be the case with Egyptian hieroglyphs). And all modern scholars believe that the Rig Vedic texts were...

    Children of the Indus

    Well, the Rig Veda and Vedic literature was mostly carried on by oral tradition, yes, however the earliest evidence of it being written down comes from 11th century Nepal. And anyway, the literature still is Rig Vedic and is of the Indus, its only written in a seperate place. It is wholly...

    Children of the Indus

    We do not need to decipher the script of the Indus Valley Civilization to know that the civilization actually existed and it was one of the oldest in the world, Mehrgarh included (sometimes counted as seperate as IVC, but anyway) and most advanced. Ofcourse, in all probability, the IVC script...

    Indus Valley Civilization may have been created by Japanese
