Yea I understand what you are saying. Its annoying because south asian culture =/= Pan India is all I am saying. People should not be fighting over Buddha, because it was his teachings and philosophy which stood the test of time (and not his dynasty or his physical features)

I never insinuated that Nepal has some kind of exclusive patent to Buddhism. I do find it mind boggeling when someone tries to claim an entire Nepalese dynasty /empire as being part of India. I do think that Buddhism has deep ties to south Asia, and I will leave it at that. I will admit...

lol please stop this. India isnt the only place in south asia with ties to vedic culture/civilization. You act as though Nepal is an isolated place somewhere in the orient lol. Sakha clans were tied to indo Aryans ;) , and probably looked more like the people from Himachal, Uttar Akhand and...

You dont think the per capita income and HDI would drastically improve if India cut off its population to 50% of what its now? How is having a large population which do not really contribute inthe development of the country considered to be an asset?

Ofcourwse there is a population crisis. Esp when large majority of the people in south asia live under abject poverty and havent got the basic education. If India had half of its population gone, it would have been catapolted into becoming a 2nd world country like China.

Got to disagree here. Siddarth Gautam was a Nepalese Prince, ruling over the Lumbini province. I think I am partially going to agree with fatty acid here. While South Asia has always has its own identity, from a larger perspective, it was never a same country. You are confusing "empire" with...

Yea ultimately the infighting within the subcontinent will be the only cog holding it back to its full potential imo. Actually the overpopulation does not help either.

lol okay . found it funny that you recognized me :lol: Btw, whats your take on the original post then?

I think I know who you are. Gayetri?

lol come on man, you can tell me.

The terrain reminds me more of the middle east than northern parts of south Asia.

I see it. I would have thought so myself.

sounds a lot like Pahari people. We have had to make due with not as much vegetation though while the Punjabis who were right below the foothills were lucky enough to have fertile lands. This is why they look like a sturdier version of us I guess.

Exactly. I want to give back /contribute to the evolution of humanity. I would have issues with my self if I was only in the receiving end of what modern society had to offer.

Yea makes sense I suppose. How do you mean lifestyle btw? Are you referring to the Dardic/Pashto speakers ?

I come from a Brahmin family. I have just noticed that people use religion to control other people. This is not just evident in Hinduism either. I have no problem with religious people because its their life, but when religion is used as an agent to control the mass, thats when it becomes a...

Is there a big difference between eastern pakistan and western when it comes to the overall look?

yes it is

lol They say that the subconscious mind is truely what makes us human... now does this mean that if we are sinners in our sleep , we are going to get judged? :lol:
