Mehrgarh (7000 BC-2500 BC) in Balochistan, Rehman Dheri (4000 BC) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Harappa (3300 BC-1300 BC) in Punjab, Mohenjodaro (2600 BC-1900 BC) in Sindh, and many other similar sites in Gilgit Baltistan are testimony to the fact that the Indus Valley Civilization has archeological and historical linkages with all corners of Pakistan. The core of this civilization remains in Pakistan with a bit of spill over in Iran, Afghanistan and India. The Indians falsely claim that Indus valley Civilization is Indian Civilization, which it is not.
The sub-continent has mainly been divided in two major regions. The landmass served by Indus river valley , its tributaries and the adjoining plains and the areas served by Ganges river valley, its tributaries and its adjoining plains. These two areas are separated by a distinct watershed. The Indus river valley and its adjoining plains etc has been the home of Meluhha, the people of Indus Valley Civilization which is known as Pakistan. The map spread of Indus Valley Civilization roughly aligns with the map of Pakistan and has known history of over 9000 years. The only time this land was politically united with Republic of India happened on three occasions during the times of Mauryans, Muslim and British rules and for around 8000 years it remained as a separate political entity. These two areas have remained separate entities for around 8000 years out of 9000 years of known history and therefore existed as two different nations. The Two nation Theory therefore has historical linkages which can not be denied.
The remaining people in the sub-continent live in Republic of India which gained independence in 1947. They have their own history and a different identity which many do not know and falsely claim that IVC is Indian Civilization, which it was never Indian during its entire history, from its peak to its decline and fading out. The Indians seek their identity in the Vedic and Hindu scriptures which they try to relate with the IVC. The fact that IVC pre-dated the advent of Vedic and Hindu scriptures and literature defies such a claim.
It is time that Indians find their own identity and stop claiming that IVC was an Indian civilization which it has never been.
