So Present Day Pakistan is the Birth Place of Hinduism, and we rule that Birth Place ?

No doubt indians are the descendent of pakistanis

Indian prophet such as respeced hanuman trace back to modern day bangladesh.i mean his kind

from neolithic era

Mehrgarh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ehrgarh, (7000–5500 BCE), on the Kachi Plain of Balochistan, is an important Neolithic site discovered in 1974, with early evidence of farming and herding,[11] and dentistry.[1] Early residents lived in mud brick houses, stored grain in granaries, fashioned tools with copper ore, cultivated barley, wheat, jujubes and dates, and herded sheep, goats and cattle. As the civilization progressed (5500–2600 BCE) residents began to engage in crafts, including flint knapping, tanning, bead production, and metalworking. The site was occupied continuously until 2600 BCE,[12] when climatic changes began to occur. Between 2600 and 2000 BCE, region became more arid and Mehrgarh was abandoned in favour of the Indus Valley,[13] where a new civilization was in the early stages of development.[14]

Race/ Ethnicity and religion are two different things, If I am not mistaken ,,majority of Indians have different ethnicities and race from us, while we both can share the same religion. E.G, Pushtoons in Pakistan are Muslims, so are some Tamils Muslim in Tamil Nadu, but I think the Tamils are Dravidian in origin or something.

Edit1: So just because we may share religion with some Tamils, that does not make them our decedents, Same was the case when polytheism was a hot trend back then, and we shared Sanathan Dharma as a religion, or Buddhism.. Or something..

My point being, ethnicity/races and religion are two different things.

Genetic studies conducted by different organizations tells that north indians are more close to Pakistan genetically than south indians. In other words ganga & indus civilization was inhabited by two different races.
