The number zero was invented in Ancient Pakistan

What ever they are, they are definitely not indic

Yes yes! they were actually north-east Arabic.

Why such heartache I'm sure that the Ganges based bharat civilisation, has also some great achievements - which you can rightly claim, and which no Pakistani (inheritors of the IVC and all other cultures based in our country) will have a claim on.

We do not claim bharati civilisation, and you cannot claim the Indus Civilisation.

The Indus Saga and the Making of Pakistan: Amazon.co.uk: Aitzaz Ahsan: Books

Drawing on primary sources, especially literature, this work endeavours to establish the separateness of Indus from India. Discarding accepted myths of Indian history, it presents a history of the political culture of the Indus region (now Pakistan) from ancient times to the modern age. It is aimed at historians and scholars as well as general readers interested in the history of the subcontinent.

There is nothing called "Ancient Pakistan". Whatever happened in Ancient India belongs to all the three parties: India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh

Pakicetus.

Wikispecies has information related to: Pakicetidae
Pakicetids or Pakicetidae are a carnivorous mammal family of the suborder Archaeoceti which lived during the Early Eocene to Middle Eocene (55.8 mya—40.4 mya) in Pakistan and existed for approximately 15.4 million years.[1]
As Cetacea, Pakicetidae precede the whales and dolphins in transition from land. Because their fossils were found near bodies of water, they are presumed to have spent part of their life in water.
Pakicetus was the first discovered in 1983 by Philip Gingerich, Neil Wells, Donald Russell, and S. M. Ibrahim Shah, and all species are known only from a few sites in Pakistan, hence the name of the first genera and the family as a whole. The region is believed to have been coastal to the Tethys Sea when the pakicetids lived, some 53 million years ago.
The pakicetids are presumed to be ancestors of modern whales because of the three following features unique to whales: peculiarities in the positioning of the ear bones within the skull, the folding in a bone of the middle ear, and the arrangement of cusps on the molar teeth. The current theory is that modern whales evolved from archaic whales such as basilosaurids, which in turn evolved from something like the amphibious ambulocetids, which themselves evolved from something like the land-dwelling pakicetids.

When this prehistoric animal was discovered, some nationalist indian intellectuals tried their best, to get india's name on to it, but Pakistani intellectuals successfully argued that since this animal lived on the land mass of Pakistan, it should be named thus.

We are greedy lot. We want to have it all. Why disown Indus civilization just because Islamic Republic of Pakistan rule that land now? Makes no sense, does it?

As far as great achievements are concerned, some of the greatest empires of ancient India were east-indic. Mouryas, Guptas, Palas, you name it.

It is the indian members here who are insecure about their identity, Pakistanis know who they are :-

What is bharati - it's yours, and we have no claim on it, likewise the Indus Civilisation is ours. Simple

Internationally all this history is acknowledged now to be Ancient Pakistan

"Ancient Pakistan " is as old as "Ideology of Pakistan". I know there are are not many things on which present day Pakistanis can be proud of so it is but natural for them to seek honor and glory where ever they can find and nothing wrong with it.

it good to know that they are reclaiming "their" heritage but do they teach same heritage in their text book and to the young generations of Pakistan so they can also share same feeling. if so please post a link to any text book of history in pakistan which is taught in national education board.

Gorgeous isn't it. Won a prize in the UK as well, no one batted a eyelid, because they know the civilisation is ours.

what if the british decided not to split.. what about the other spots of the same civilisation inside Indian territory.. and where was the boundary of that civilisation..

Civilisation was there in pockets all along the banks of that river.

They chose to settle there for some reason unknown to us.. and they have travelled to other places..

Men dont grow from seed in the soil..

Rafi.. first decide what you are.. are you an invader who came to the subcontinent to rule or one of the ruled who got converted to avoid prosecution? Either way, you cannot take credit of the culture of the land. So stop your futile attempt of glorifying Pakistan's history by using illogical facts (like that prehistoric creature named after Pakistan and showing a plane's tail).
