Tells us alot about how much you know/cherish your heritage.


By bringing religion here you are only asserting our point about the significance of 2 nation theory for Pakistanis and the phrase ancient Pakistan being anachronism.

My dear b, just stating a fact - IVC was not Hindu, all the peoples of Pakistani whatever faith own our history and culture

7000 – 3300 B.C -Mehrgarh Culture
Mehrgarh was an ancient settlement in Pakistan and is one of the most important sites in archaeology for the study of the earliest Neolithic settlements in that region. The remains are located in Balochistan, Pakistan, on the Kachi plain near the Bolan Pass, to the west of the Indus River valley and between the present-day cities of Quetta, Kalat and Sibi.

Mehrgarh is sometimes cited as the earliest known farming settlement in South Asia, based on archaeological excavations from 1974 (Jarrige et al). The earliest evidence of settlement dates from 7000 BCE. It is also cited for the earliest evidence of pottery in South Asia. Archaeologists divide the occupation at the site into several periods.
The chalcolithic people of Mehrgarh also had contacts with northern Afghanistan, northeastern Iran and even with the southern part of central Asia

3000 – 1300 B.C -Indus Valley
Indus Valley Civilization (c. 3300–1300 BC, flowered 2600–1900 BC), abbreviated IVC, was an ancient riverine civilization that flourished in the Indus river valley in Pakistan. Another name for this civilization is the Harappan Civilization, after the first excavated city of Harappa.

drdo only 2 sites are true cities Harrapa and Mohenjadaro - the rest of the sites are still not confirmed as being part of IVC - in fact many of the indian sites that claim to be IVC are very dubious, that is why all the main research is taking place in Pakistan

What is firmly established to a high degree is the people of the IVC were not Hindu, they buried their dead, ate beef, and no temple complexes have been found in their beautiful planned cities.

Plz, don't make fun of ur self. Talk only if you know what ur talking.

1.) Who told you that Hindu don't bury their dead??????? If there is a child death in any Hindu family that child's body will be burred in the earth or cremated in a river. Also in many sects they bury their dead.

2.) In IVC people used to worship Lord Shiva.

Can u recognize the above from IVC?????? that's a Nandi of Lord Shiva.

The "horned god" and phallic worship of the Indus valley civilization may have been a prototype of Shiva worship or Shaivism.

Several pottery figurines suggest that female deities had been worshipped.

Religion in Indus Valley Civilization

These "mother goddesses" appear to have been objects of

worship for the common people, while the horned god was apparently favored by the priests and upper classes.

Indus River Valley Civilizations

Some Indus valley seals show swastikas which are found in later religions and mythologies, especially in Indian religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. The earliest evidence for elements of Hinduism are present before and during the early Harappan period.[54][55] Phallic symbols resembling the Hindu Siva lingam have been found in the Harappan remains.

Many Indus valley seals show animals. One famous seal shows a figure seated in a posture reminiscent of the Lotus position and surrounded by animals was named after Pashupati (lord of cattle), an epithet of Shiva and Rudra.

Listen guyz...with all due respect to peoples of both nations.... I have no idea how you guyz like to interperate stuff.... but all I understand is our Quaid-e-Azam gave a statement before the partition. That is

Quaid-e-Azam speech on Two-Nation theory

Hindu India & Muslim India must be seperated because the two nations are entirely distinct and different and in some matters an animosity to each other. We differ in our History, Culture, Language, Architecture, Music, Laws, Jurisprudence, Calendar and our entire social fabric and Code of Life.

Quaid-e-Azam (extracted from the video posted below)

====================

So we were the Muslim Indians before the partition now whatever it is the world recognize it as Indian 0....just like India won the Gold Medal in Hockey at Olympics in 1928, 1932, 1936... Now geographically there could be many players playing hockey from the Today's Pakistan during those days of pre-partition... but still It will be written as the Indian team won since we were technically all from the same nation...

Its a simple logic so is it so hard to digest?

 

[Rafi]

The people of the IVC are not Hindu, thousands of beef bones have been found, that show signs of human consumption. The cow is a holy animal for Hindus, in fact in modern india, many states have a ban on the killing of cows.

Well you quote this

So just show me what similarity in your culture and harappa culture

And now read post #506

Indus vally`s geography now divided b/w India and Pakistan but culture ... you know that

 

[Rafi]

Pakistan existed 5000 years ago as the “Indus Valley Civilization.” A historical and tectonic divide existed thousands of years ago. The Indus Valley Civilization was on the banks of the Indus. The Genetic Valley Civilization is on the banks of the Ganges.
