Why do Pakistanis feel compelled to deny the existence of the Indian nation before 1947!
You chose to go your separate way in 1947 because of the two nation theory (TNT). That theory said that Hindus and Muslims are separate nations. That they had fundamental differences and they can't live together.
Of course the continuance of such a large Muslim population in India seriously compromises that theory. But notwithstanding that, your highest thinkers of TNT (Jinnah and Iqbal) were staunch Indian nationalists for most of their lives and turned to partition only much later in their lives.
Even they never questioned the reality of India being an ancient nation. They knew it and they loved and accepted it. Partition for most Indians is a sad event but one that is over and done with. As much as you want India to accept it, you also need to accept the reality and the reasons for the partition.
Like much else, this is a post facto thinking of some Pakistani friends. Like their sudden embrace of the little known IVC while trying to be blissfully vague about the rest of the Indian history. What if new research proves strong linkage between IVC and the Vedic/Hindu civilization? Would you still be as enthusiastic about it?
