Let me bust this myth that once upon a time people of Panjab and Sindh were 'Hindus' in large numbers.
Lets look at Hinduism.
Hindus have multiple statues of their gods , these are in the form of monkey ( Hanuman ) in the form of Elephant ( Ganesh ) and many others with some having multiple limbs and some in the form of a snake etc etc.
They make large number of these statues; big and small and of all sizes.
Now my question is WHERE in Pakistan have excavations revealed statues of monkey form Hanuman, elephant form Ganesh or Kali or Shiva and so many more , WHERE ?
Answer is that NOWHERE in Pakistan have ANY artefacts been found that resemble these forms.
Statues of Gautam Budh that have been found, big and small and they have stood the test of time
So similarly shouldnt the statues of Hanuman, Ganesh and all others (if they were ever there) have stood the test of time and at least some traces of these be found ? The fact that none have been found leads one to believe that this type of Hinduism never existed in this land called Pakistan
Also look at the temples that Hindus build, they are huge, extensive and intricate , how come none have been found in Pakistan ? The ancient ruin that we have in Harapa , Moenjo daro , Taxila none have any sign of these type of temples that Hindus have .
It should be asked well why not ? If their are ancient ruins of other structures why there are not ancient ruin of hindu temples ?
The lack of these can be attributed to two things
a. There never existed in the land that is Pakistan the kind of Hinduism that is there in India.
b. If it did exist at some time, all traces of it were wiped out so extensively that noting that is there today relates to it not even any ruins.
In both case then the people of preset day Panjab and Sindh have no big relation to the Hindus of India.
So HOW can Indians continue to claim that Panjab and Sindh were 'Hindu' , the archaeological evidence just does not support this bs claim.
Basically all fascist beliefs tend to claim anything and every thing as theirs , like Hindus even claim that Buddhism is also a form of Hinduism , Harapa and Indus valley were also part of Hinduism and there are even those who say that the pagans of Mecca with their statues and all were ALSO part of Hinduisms.
These calims are just ludicrous, we need to look at facts rather than the spin that our neighbours from the east put , one has to admits that they are good at spinning facts.
