Culture wars: Pakistan to demand 4,500 old artefact back from India

[Indo-Pak]

That's good - Get everything related to Harrapa, Mohenjodaro, Taxila back and also ask bharat to stop using word India to associate themselves to Indus and Indus Valley.



Satti and other things like that was culture of your ancestors, why you are not doing that now?

Whats your opinion? why are Hindu not doing that now??

Because we can change an evolve. We do not believe in an unmutable book of laws which cant be questioned, reinterpretated, modernised for 1400 years to reflect with the modern times

These artifacts represents the history of the land of Indus, which is modern Pakistan. People of Indus through out the history have had different culture, language and religion, and all of that is part of the history of this land. Just because modern day Indus have different language and religion doesn't make it's history alienated to the land. These artifacts belong to the land where they originated from, which is.modern day Pakistan.

it has to be considered on a case by case basis

Then the Pashtuns are certainly not the people of IVC, they can't invade their own land, can they?

BTW, Mughals were Pashtuns?



Oh yes, barring some expected regional differences, we share the same spiritual philosophies that even IVC people used to share.



Buddhism itself is an offshoot of Hinduism and shares the same dharmik philosophies. Besides, Buddhism came much later after the desertion of IVC. In fact, idols of Hindu gods were unearthed from IVC.

See, I have no problem to share the legacy of all of ancient Indian civilization including IVC with Pakistanis, but first Pakistanis have to take a stand on who they are primarily. They cannot be the 500 years (or 1000 years, as Pakistanis claim) of rulers of Hindus, 'proud murderers' of Hindus in Hindukush, the heroic invaders and conquerors, etc. AND the people of IVC at the same time. But can Pakistanis accept that largely they were not the conquerors but the conquered who later made heroes out of their conquerors?



But isn't taking pride in the genocide of their own ancestors, as we see in case of Hindukush, is simply deplorable?

Bengali Babu, do you know anything about the history of our region apart from some false random rants taught in your schools? Man, this school syllabus in India must be scrutanized by the world - falsehoods, distortion of history and clear influence of jingoistic media.

Just for a moment, have a close look at the facial features of that dancing statue found in MohenJoDaro. She has more of a Aboriginal/Dravidian looks than fair and blue eyed Adonis lookalike Pakistanis.

What made you think original Pakistani was austroloid aborginal? Do you know why India is not releasing genetic results of Harappa skeletons?

Why don't you tell us something about yourself? Let me guess, someone from Pune a typical Modi/Swami fanboy who thinks he cn lay claim to anything, even to the invention of Airplanes?

What an absured argument!

Going by your logic monkeys can lay claims to some monkey-shaped statues that are discovered??

I've read somewhere that there exist Hindus in south India, I think Tamils who hold ravana , the arch enemy of lord Ram in high esteem and divali is celebrated coz ravana was killed by Lord Ram, right! So this might be the reason for south Indians for not adopting this north Indian festival?

deepavali is celebrated by Tamils to mourn the death of Tamil hero king by the invader Aryan Rama - who out of envy destroyed the Tamil civilisation in Lanka.

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

They've already done far worse, but no matter, the truth remains the truth. Let Pakistan pursue its claim formally and see what happens.

Hmm elaborate

We have also evolved since times of Harrapa, Mohenjodoro and Taxila.

Do you know that in majority of Indian states kids are taught in school that Punjabi freedom fighter Bhagat Singh and many other non Hindus were terrorist! It's part of the syllabus there------

 

[coffee_cup]

Hmm elaborate

Don't expect any elaborations here, man.

The dude is known for her hatred for Pakistan and one liner sadistic comments to inflame things.

Perhaps the only pleasure few people get in real miserable lives. How unfortunate! I really feel pity for such people!

As a moderator, all the artifacts should be handed over to BD before the decision be made who owns what.
