CPEC is Silk Road 2.0 after 2,000 years OR How Pakistan will change China again

[Mangus Ortus Novem]

Very true. We are a great example of multiculturalism that actually lasts, becuse look around. The traditional pakhtoon, punjabi, sindhi and baluchi, creations are being used by all ethnicities. From instruments to fashion they are all adapted without any fuss.

And most delicious food on the Planet... from GB to Gawadar there is that particular Pakistaniaat ... with each region/people have their own particular twist..but the Overall Structure of Food and its Texture remains the same!

Ya but he was a Nepalese monk so he was already well versed in religion. So my default he was Naples that created his own religion.


Funny you say that, because it was the people and cultures of Pakistan the uplifted the religion of otherwise, uncultured folks. The art of buddhism that you see or the depiction of buddha were all created in Pakistan.

Without the Greeks coming into Bactria and later Gandhara, the Greco Buddhist art of Gandhara would not have originated either..Gandhara had 300 years before the intrusion of the Greeks to create Buddhist art, but it didnot

 

[Pakhtoon yum]

I am not claiming the Gandhara culture of Indo-Greeks,Kushanas, etc

I am claiming Buddhism as a religion was born in India...Buddhist thoughts of the Buddha happened in India...He gave his first discourse in India...Scholars all over the world has always identified Buddhism as an Indian religion

The bushism now is very much Pakistanized look for previous post on why that is. It was a Napalese religion that become heavily influenced by Pakistan and then sent to the far east.

 

[V. Makarov]

First time Silk Road opened after Han Chinese war for the Heavenly Horses of the Western Range. Immediately after that monks of Pakistan took an Indian religion and turned China into Buddhist. Pakistan brought the gift of religion to China and transformed it for the better. Chia is forever in Pakistan's debt because of Buddhism and now China wants to show its gratitude through CPEC..Fast Forward 2,000 years with CPEC the same history will repeat...China will bring luxury,trade and economic development to Pakistan and in turn Pakistan will bring Spiritually Uplifting Islam to the Chinese

Just like China became a Buddhist country following the leadership of Pakistan around 1,500 years back during Tang Dynasty, similiarly China will become Islamic following leadership of Pakistan during the CPEC era


Just like non-violent revolution of Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr. brought emancipation for men of African origin, non violent actions of Imran Khan will bring emancipation for men of the Islamic faith in China.

China will become the largest and finest bastion of Islam just like previously it became the largest and finest bastion of Buddhism

All this will be possible because of the premier spiritual leader of Asia: Pakistan

Not only CPEC will turn Pakistan into a developed economy in 50 years but will also turn China into Muslim majority Islamic Republic in 50 years. This is my bold prediction.

Too much effort put into a lengthy brain fart.

Ye bhi koi puchhne ki baat hai?

Ofcourse it is, lately what we thought were jokes by Indians were actual events that happened. I mean, you're openly and proudly showing your fascist & nazi loving nature. Bravo.

Hahahahaha, nice one. Where did you pull this out of? Dis you know there were whole communities of greeks living in Pakistan before even Alexander arrived? I bet you don't so do go study this. Also those greeks that were here, were heavily influenced by local cultures. TheyThe alphabet, language and culture changed from that in the homeland. Also those Greeks that came after as as much Pakistanis as the ones that were already here, along with anyone else that was part of conterminous PakistanAgain go cry me a river.

Wiki is not a scholarly source. I know its the indian bible but people in academia will laugh at you if you use this to support your arguments. On the other hand, scholarly sources do accept that he was Napalese. So again, cry me a river.

But even people adopt that. You see Punjabi daal (very famous in kpk) in pakhtoon areas and you see Pakhtoon kababs, rice etc in other regions of Pakistan. Also balochistan chicken, Sindhi biryani etc. Its a true melting pot.

And what are these? State me one thing, where does it say a Nepalese got indian citizenship in an indian kingdom thus giving birth to buddhism was Indian and not Nepalese but even then it was by a Nepalese.



This is like saying Alexander is southern greek even though he was born in Macedonia which was a small kingdom in the north that had little connection to the southern greeks.

@DESERT FIGHTER @Indus Pakistan @waz the indiot wants book about buddhism and Pakistan can someone post the links. I dont have too spoon feed him.

Buddhism is universally accepted as a religion that orginated in Ancient India...Show me one respectable scholarly opinion with citations that say otherwise

And my favourite Peshawari Qawa... we used to drink it in the winter... oh, the fragrance... and then Kashmiri chai...

Even Kabuliz are Pakistanified, PakBrother mine!!!

We are truly blessed with Pakistan...

I just wish YoungPaks see for what We Are.... but MarasiMedia along with English print media in Pakistan is Gangufying the PakSociety... we need to fight it back...

We need to have a thread on OurArchitecture @ghazi52 has done some great work on it...

What fasicnates me is this seamless transition that takes place along the region... Adaptations as you put it... but overall Rythm of OurArchitecture remains the same... same goes for our music...

I guess we Paks are Crazy Lot and react to Beauty in Our own particular manner...

All this talk of PakFood is making me hungry... Zalim!!!

We, The Oldest Living Civilisation, gave the World so many things...

*Nepalese, Indian opinions are not universal opinions, intact far from it. The universal opinions that I know are that he was Napalese and gave birth to a Nepalese religion.

The more you talk the more stupid you sound.

We adopt anything that we find beautiful or attractive. You are very right about that. Just like how Persian we adopted because it was a beautiful language and carried lots of poetry. The Kabuliz that are in Pakistan dont fit when they go back, that's the reason they keep on coming back.

I gave you a list of 20 books that were produced by the Buddhist studies department of Western and Japanese universities that correctly identified Buddhism as an Indian religion ...you on the other hand offered nothing other than your own opinion
