History of Calcutta belongs to Calcuttans
History of Bengal belongs to Bengalis
History of India belongs to Indians
History of the subcontinent...belongs to Indians.
See what happened there? Of course there is shared history but Indians have a problem with Pakistanis labelling their own history and insist it should all be labelled Indian and absolutely nothing else. And all you have to show for it is some colonial era paperwork or what some Greeks maybe thought.
You seem like a reasonable Pakistani, so please answer my previous post regarding Rafi's claims:
Why is it that Pakistan names its missiles after Turkic and Central Asian invaders? Do you claim to be them as well? Do you claim the Mughals, even though it was based on the Ganges in 'Bharat'? Why not name your missiles after the ancient Hindu rulers in the Punjab and Sindh regions? They were your ancestors weren't they?
btw, I think Pakistanis have an equal right to be proud of the IVC, Mauryans, Guptas, etc. as Indians do, because Pakistan was always part of Dharmic civilization. To say that an Indian living in, say, Uttar Pradesh cannot be proud of the IVC is akin to saying a Greek from Thessalonica cannot be proud of the Greek stand at Thermoplyae, since Thessalonica and Macedon fell to the Persians while the Spartans, Athenians, and their allies fought on. But those Thessalonican Greeks can be proud of the Greek stand, because they shared much of the same civilizational and cultural values, even though they were not politically unified at the time. The same applies to ancient India, Hindustan, Bharat, Aryavarta, or whatever you want to call it.
