"At the same time, 90% of the subcontinent's industry, and taxable income base remained in India, including the largest cities of Delhi, Bombay and Calcutta. "

BBC - History - British History in depth: The Hidden Story of Partition and its Legacies

This is common knowledge but ignored by Indians.

But do you know whatever industries setup by British was systematically dismantled by them and cloned in Britain before they moved out of India including ship building and textiles? It is also a common knowledge and you seem to ignore that(you see I am not going to generalize by saying ignored by Pakistanis)

By independence, the world's leading ship building, metallurgy and textiles industries had been systematically decimated (and subsequently cloned in Britain); a society with a system of mass education was now almost fully illiterate

See Indians keep extending boundry of mythical "India". Not long ago @INDIC said according to Greeks anything east of Indus was India. Now you have extended in to east Afghanistan. These people had 0 in common with Indians genetically or culturally. Every human being is related but there are differences and genetic tests show that.

Gandhara extented to parts of Afghanistan, Gandhara was the part of Indian civilization.

Dharma is an Indian philosophy. Dharma doesn't mean reincarnation. You need to know more about dharma. And 'Dharmic Faiths' is a classification used by sociologists and historians to refer to Hinduism/Buddhism/Jainism/Sikhism. You talk about research. Any sane researcher will laugh at the suggestion that concept of dharma and dharmic faiths are not Indian in origin.

And FYI, Gandhara and modern Kandahar are geographically not same. Gandhara was a north western Indian mahajanapada (in what is now NE Afghanistan/NW Pakistan), so that makes Padmasambhava very much an Indian. Modern Kandahar is in SE Afghanistan. I am not saying only Indians had knowledge from "higher realms" as you put it. What I am saying that philosophy of Dharma is completely Indian in origin.

This post is laughable .

Dharmic faiths have been aBOUT reincarnation,theory of karma ,social order and righteousness.abrahamic faiths do not have such concepts.

Gandhara was a big kingdom and hindu afghan leaders had good influence too.

Kandahar was part of Gandhara according to globalsecurity.org . lol,there goes your theory of Kandahar being not part of Gandhara. Get your facts straight.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/afghanistan/history-gandhara.htm

An alternative etymology derives the name of the city from Gandhara,[8] the name of an ancient Buddhist kingdom located along the Kabul and Swat rivers of Afghanistan and Pakistan,[9] although Kandahar in modern times and the ancient Gandhara are not geographically identical but are far away from each other.[10][11]

As per nationality basis Padmasambhava was afghan.

Any serious historian would laugh at the straw man you are grasping.

Whats more hilarious that people are claiming people born in Afghanistan as Indian. These guys don't have knowledge about other religions themselves ,but yet lecture others who have done research on other religions.

Not a wonder,Indians are seen like fools across the world.

People of ancient Gandhara aren't much related to modern population. Gandhara didn't contain all of Afghanistan, it was a territory North of Islamabad.

Actually they are the descendants of the people of ancient Gandahar . How about you people try to stop changing goalposts. And Gandahar contained good part of afghanistan and had considerable influence in central Asia and the state bordering it.

Kandahār or Qandahār (Pashto/Persian: کندهار or قندهار, Greek: Αλεξάνδρεια αραχνοειδής Transliteration: Alexandria Arachosia) is the second largest city in Afghanistan, with a population of about 450,000. It is the capital of Kandahar province, located in the south of the country at about 1,005 m (3,297 feet) above sea level. The Arghandab River runs along the west of the city. "Kandahar" is the latest modified form of the ancient name Gandhara.[3]

May be partial ancestry. The Pashtuns living there speaks an East Iranian language, ancient Gandharians spoke Indo-Aryan.Most of them share ancestry with later invaders.

Gandhara comprised of Pothohar, Peshawar valley and Kabul river valley.

Lol, check the map of Gandhara by globalsecurity.org. And the major religions of Gandhara were Buddhism,Hinduism and Zoroastrianism ...

So there was iranian influence on Gandhara already .

Lol,globalsecurity .org is pretty good source. Its the US military now in Afghanistan and their archaelogical department is carrying out research.

Do you know in the official history of the khazarian empire. No,but according to russian historians it existed.

The age of pyramids according to Egyptian historians is 3000-4000 BC. But Carbon dating says 12,000 B.C.+
