I am fed up of hearing everyday from Pakistanis that they have the perfect version of history in their textbooks and that Indian textbooks are wrong.

Here is a video from a Pakistani Scholar who takes an interesting look at the lies in Pakistani history. PLEASE WATCH THE WHOLE VIDEO BEFORE POSTING COMMENTS...

This is the real history of Pakistan

1 Prehistory
1.1 Soanian Culture
1.2 Mehrgarh


1.3 Indus Valley Civilization
2 Early history
2.1 Vedic period
2.2 Achaemenid Empire
2.3 Greek Invasion
2.4 Maurya Empire
2.5 Gandhara culture
2.6 Graeco-Indians
2.7 Indo-Scythians
2.8 Indo-Parthians, Romans and Christianity
2.9 Kushan Empire
2.10 Gupta Empire
2.11 Indo-Sassanid culture
2.12 The White Huns
2.13 Rai dynasty
2.14 Harsha, Rajputs and Pāla Empire


3 Later Medieval Age
3.1 Arab Invasion
3.2 Ghaznavid Dynasty
3.3 Delhi Sultanate
3.4 Mughal Empire
3.5 Post Mughal era
3.5.1 Durrani Empire
3.5.2 Maratha Empire
3.5.3 Durrani reconquest
3.6 Sikh Empire
4 British colony
5 Freedom Movement

But we only happen to concentrate our students on subject 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4 and 5


Which leds us to study a disconnected history and a lot of confusions. The confusion gaps created by discrepant history are tried to be filled with Islamic obsession albeit unsuccessfully which lead us to fragmented Pakistani society of today.

One needs to pick up the book of Pakistan studies and get a clear picture of our pathetic situation.

Much of the events in Indian history originated from Pakistani side and that makes us the leader of South Asian historic events yet we fail to recognize this position and concentrate on few events of
history. We tend to forget the strategist and commanders born in our own lands and going on to make an impact on the collective history of the continent. Instead our heros have become few forgien invaders who came out of their own interests. And fast forward to today, we have truly become the second class of world political stage where are contantly trying to find cover under so called allies..sometimes its USA, Sometimes its China, Sometimes its the great Arabs who liberated us and recently we are trying to romance with Russia. With international think tanks look at our confused posture on world event, what they see is not a great country to ally with but a fragmented state which is in constant need of foster parents.

Maharaja Ranjit Singh, born in Gujranwala, Punjab. He was referred to as the "Maharaja of Lahore".

Countries under imperliam decry the systematic erosion of their heritage and culture..like Algeria under French rule banned traditional Rai music.

We are criminals of erasing our own history due to our own bigotry. If Pakistan history is taught in a true tone with real fact and figures - there is no reason any one would back the radical mullahs in our country in their fight against the so called "infidels" because history would negate many of their false claims.


Soanian Culture

The Soanian is an archaeological culture of the Lower Paleolithic (ca. 500,000 to 1,250,000 BC), contemporary to the Acheulean. It is named after the Soan Valley in the Sivalik Hills, near modern-day Islamabad/Rawalpindi, Pakistan. The bearers of this culture were Homo erectus. In Adiyala and Khasala[disambiguation needed ], about 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) from Rawalpindi, on the bend of the Soan River hundreds of edged pebble tools were discovered. No human skeletons of this age have yet been found. In the Soan River Gorge many fossil bearing rocks are exposed on the surface. The 14 million year old fossils of gazelle, rhinoceros, crocodile, giraffe and rodents have been found there. Some of these fossils are on display at the Natural History Museum in Islamabad.



Mehrgarh
Mehrgarh, (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.




Indus Valley Civilization
The Indus Valley Civilization developed between 3300–1700 BCE on the banks of the Indus River. At its peak, the civilisation hosted a population of approximately 5 million in hundreds of settlements extending as far as the Arabian Sea, present-day southern and eastern Afghanistan, southeastern Iran and the Himalayas.[15] Major urban centers were at Dholavira, Kalibangan, Harappa, Lothal, Mohenjo-daro, and Rakhigarhi, as well as an offshoot called the Kulli culture (2500–2000 BCE) in southern Balochistan, which had similar settlements, pottery and other artifacts. The civilization collapsed abruptly around 1700 BCE.
In the early part of the second millennium BCE, the Rigvedic civilization existed,[16] between the Sapta Sindhu and Ganges-Yamuna rivers.[17] The city of Taxila in northern Pakistan, became important to Vedic religion (and later in Buddhism).

The birth of Pakistan was very traumatic for Indians and since then these people have set out to de-construct the narrative which formed the basis of Pakistan. To achieve this they seek out intellectually dishonest journalists, media person, commentators etc from Pakistan and provide them support for spreading their propaganda in this regard. Najam Sethi is just the sort that these Indians will seek out do this.

I second that. I tend to believe more of agenda behind it.

It was traumatic because we stole a lot of their history with the Partition..for example..Ranjit Singh can easily be claimed on the side of our heritage. Yet we failed to recognize this position...and trying to indoctrinate our students which has no semblance to our existence and in fact humiliate ourselves in our own history. The narrative of Pakistani history is such that we are in constant need of a forgien power to "rescue" us. This carves our a dependent mentality and the political situation of today.

I would label you a troll..nothing wrong with islamic idealogy..many other countries around the world were established on Islamic ideology..Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia, CAR, etc....but subcontinent was invaded by numerous powers and they all took their share as well bought new influences.. That is a collective part of greater Indian subcontinent history..nothing more nothing else....No need to portray someone a hero...

I second that. I tend to believe more of agenda behind it.

Agenda is when we are being doctored with false history but all the claims are real fact and figures..we simply cannot begin our history from the invasion of Arabs or British... as it is popularly taught..we are people much older than that and have a much richer history of our own..Unless we don't learn to admit what we were and what we are..we will never establish an identity..Look at Iranians..they accepted Islam too....and became the Sunni powerhouse of learning, arts, culture and sciences. But they did not abandon their history in the favor of religion. Instead both co-existed peacefully and a large part of Persian art then became incorporated in greater Islamic culture.
