Cultural links between India and the Greco-Roman world

[Kashmiri Pandit]

I agree that it's a fairytailthat Indians believe India existed since ancient times. India was a geographical expression. It only became a political entity since British India. The first monarch of India is queen Victoria.

Your Views on this :

Bhāratavarṣa = 1st Century BCE - 4th Century CE ( Puran )
Hidush = 486 BCE
Hodu = 400 - 300 BCE ( BIBLE )
India = 440 BCE ( Herodotus )
Indikē = 300 BCE ( Megasthenes )
Bhāratam = 100 CE ( Puran )
Indoi = Arrian
Al Hind = Arabian name of India
Hindustan = Persian name of India
Tianzhu = Chinese name of India

Fairytales dont count.

I know what value the words of Kaffur and Pagan people carry in certain categories of people.

I am not here to convert you as we do not believe in conversions

GEMINI XI
"This photograph from an altitude of 410 miles encompasses all of India, an area of 1250 000 square miles," GEORGE M. LOW, then the Deputy Director, Manned Spacecraft Center, NASA, notes. "Bombay is on the west coast, directly left of the spacecraft's can-shaped antenna New Delhi is just below the horizon near the upper left. Adam's Bridge between India and Ceylon, at the right, is clearly visible. A cloudless region surrounds the entire subcontinent. Differences in color, green near the west coast, and brown inland, delineate regions of heavy vegetation and semiarid areas."

Anything that is and was in mostly OUR BORDERS, we have the right to claim to. Indo-Greeks,Scythians,Parthians were all strangely in modern day Pakistan's borders.



No matter how much times your prove these Indians wrong; they will still not admit.



Where does American culture come from? Migrants (Europe,Latin America, Asia) Where does Pakistan culture come from? Migrants (Indo-Scythians, Indo-Parthians, Indo-Greeks, Central Asians, Persians, Indians) ; there is nothing wrong with that, it is what makes a country great. Our religion is Human in origin. Yes there was religious difference of people living in modern day Pakistan and modern day India; Modern day Pakistan mostly followed Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Animism and some local religions compared to India who were mostly Hindu. IVC isn't the only thing we have and if you were its inheritors it would be in your borders. Also, what Arab imperialism? Talking to you is like talking to a brain-washed hinduvati 6 year old.

First claim and take pride in your own son's of soil Raja Dahir,Porus,Ranjit singh and Hari singh nalwa who resisted outsiders for their own folks before claiming Greeks who have nothing with you both culturally and racially.

That would be like Americans taking pride in Native Americans. Also, Porus and Ranjit singh were based off outside of the borders of Modern day Pakistan.

All of those people expect Dahir were all based off in India and yes, Around 10% of Indians (North Indians) can also have their lineage traced to the Central Asian migrations in which modern day Pakistan was the epicenter of.

To honor Sikh Empire is like Turks honoring Anatolian Greeks. They have all but moved on.

We are Pakistan, and that is all that matters. We will honor whatever the hell we want.

That proves my point and i have no issue if you honor gaddafi instead of dahir.
