I think that will be better for Indians. Even hindus are vegetarins but Indians restaurants try to copy Pakistani dishes to make them Indian (Mutton Biryani, Tandoori Chicken, Lamb Kabob), which vegetarian in India eats lamb and mutton. Yes, you are going to say Indians do eat chicken now? Now so they are trying to be like Pakistanis because before they were vegetarians.

Another Indian stunt, when you meet Indians, all of them know Pakistanis speak Urdu, Indians pet comment: " Do you speak Hindi", answer No, I speak urdu which is the language we speak.

@paksher:The dishes you spoke are mughlai,its one of the common things shared by indo-pak,dont troll

There was no India either, so using the names of the Kingdoms shouldnt be a problem. The whole point of the article is that people use the British India map to trump all regional identities of the subcontinent with the only intention to mislead.

Who said there was no India??? Alexander was fighting against the Indians. The king Purushottam was Indian ans the main source of info is the book written by Greek writer Megasthinis is 'Indica'.

This is Pakistan History. The fort in Lahore is a Pakistani Fort and the Mughal Architecture in Pakistan is our heritage. Mohenjodaro is part of Pakistan.

Port Qasim was built in Sind where Mohammad Bin Qasim invaded India and Taxila where Alexander deployed is 20 miles from Islamabad. These are treasures of Pakistan.

This is treasure of Pakistan now but there is no indication that the Lahore fort and other Mughal architectures, Taxila or Mohenjodaro was Pakistani, but Indian. Ashoka, Vikramaditya, Akbar were the emperors of India.

The Indus Valley and the Ganges plane are two distinct and different civilizations, there is some overlap, but to a large extent the difference's is more than the commonality, even if Islam (God Forbid) had never come to South Asia, there would still have been a separation and partition. IMHO.

So Jinnah (from Gujarat) was not from Pakistani civilization, and Manmohan Singh (from Chakwal) and Advani (from Sindh) are not from Indian civilization?

They were distinct but both were in India. And many of the sites in current India as well.... like Lothal, Kalibangan etc

but to a large extent the difference's is more than the commonality, even if Islam (God Forbid) had never come to South Asia, there would still have been a separation and partition. IMHO.

This difference suddenly came up just ten years before partition. If some how India or Pakistan be-parted than the new nations will also claim that they were different for thousand of years. But that not true because from was India.

Show us one evidence that few decades before 'Pakistan' there was talk about partition of India regarding the region you are talking about.

As of 1945/46 Jinnah were ready to give up partition if Congress would have fulfilled his demand.

who are you to decide, we are proud of both, it is not a zero sum game my friend/

You are right. It is a past we both share. It is what we both should be proud of and not fight over. Ask any Alaskan Americans, they are proud of their Russian past and heritage. By rejecting its pre-Islamic past, Pakistan stands to lose so much. There is so much that we have in common, it is a shared past. India is the past that Pakistan shares with India. Yes, that includes the Greeks, the Mongols, the Persians, the Arabs, the British and many more.

MBQ is our pride, he came and liberated the people of Geographic Pakistan from darkness to light

Our ancestors were living in Jahiliyya (darkness) until the liberator Muhammad bin Qasim came and smashed the idols of the false gods and showed our ancestors the true path. Now we are proud to have embraced the light of Islam.

and i presume that the so called 'false gods' and 'idols' you are reffering is related to hinduism,if that is it then you only remain in darkness,a darkness of hatred,btw iam not surprised to see your degraded mentality,happy trolling

Who is false god and who is correct god who are you to decide! If you ask your ancestors then they would answer that their god was rite not the one you fallow, its depends on belief. And not just the idols but MBQ also smashed your ancestors as well otherwise it would not have possible.

Pakistan Ancestory.....is till 1946, before that there were no Pakistani or Pakistan. So this is one point you will have to bear with.
The only way out can be if you could prove your lineage if by finding how or at what time of life Islam made its presence in your life.

Of course now that you have become an independent country, the dillemma would be, tobe out of the clutches of India, so the need arose to take on an new Identity. So what better place than the Muslim world..Iran, Iraq, etc Etc and OIC nations. Now to put a new identity, most Pakistanis are trying hard to somehow be one with Persians, Arabs ets. but the sad part is not much of incouragement from the other side.
Still I know its quite embarrasing to be without History, but instead of trying to find history amongst nonrelated sects, who will give you only discouragement, try it from your actual roots.

Finnaly Ancient Pakistani concept holds no water.

 

[LadyGaga]

There is no such thing as "ancient pakistan".It is an entity created in 1947 and any history that predates 1947 cannot be attributed to this entity.I am not insisting that it should be attributed to India either.In any case,how does this kind of jingoism help in the current scenario?

 

[rockstarIN]

Pakistanis should accept their ancestors & cultures as it is and should proud of the same. Like Egyptians, who also are Muslims but proud of their history and Indian history is for all the people in the Indian Subcontinent.
