Two ancient Pakistani women from Gandhara. Circa: 101 CE

@Neha_Khurana16 @ChiffonSaree Yes. But that doesn’t give religious identity to a whole civilization. Back then people had different beliefs systems. Mostly and mainly related to paganism.

@Zig4na @ChiffonSaree Only 5 per cent Excavations has been undertaken. Let more unfold. But there is a clear overlap with religious elements and these civilisations considering timelines

@Neha_Khurana16 @ChiffonSaree You missed the point entirely. There is not a single archaeological proven temple from IVC. Like we see religious architecture in other civilisations (iraq etc)

@Zig4na @ChiffonSaree When did I mention Egypt ? Mitanni Empire in now Northern Iraq Lord Rama & Hanuman carving hinduexistence.org/2015/10/13/six…

@Neha_Khurana16 @ChiffonSaree

@Zig4na @ChiffonSaree 1400 IVC sites 5000 plus years old. Temples 5000 plus years old

@Neha_Khurana16 @ChiffonSaree There were 0 temples in IVC. People of IVC followed Paganism.

@Zig4na @ChiffonSaree What ? Lol How can it be 3000 years old when temples are 5000 plus years old? Make sense. Rakhigari is the oldest and largest IVC- Still under excavation hisar.gov.in/rakhigarhi/

@Neha_Khurana16 @ChiffonSaree Even Indian archaeologists who worked on Rakhigari site have reservations about these dates from other sites, let alone international fraternity.

@Zig4na @ChiffonSaree Baghor Kali shrine located in the Sidhi district of Madhya Pradesh, India. Archaeological excavations have dated this site to around 9,000 BCE to 8,000 BCE, making it approximately 10,000 to 11,000 years old.

@Neha_Khurana16 @ChiffonSaree Rigved is only about ~3000 years old. This is established history. In fact Rigved came when IVC was going towards its decline.

@Zig4na @ChiffonSaree You’re looking at one site and missing out archaeology, DNA, cultural practices and religious elements in India, Asia to Iraq. Vedas is at least 10,000 years old.

@Neha_Khurana16 @ChiffonSaree

@Zig4na @ChiffonSaree No it doesn’t, there are plenty older sites in India dating back 9500 years, one in particular Bhirrana in Delhi which shows practise of Vedas /Santana /Hinduism.

No guys, Indus Valley Civilization was not a ‘Hindu’ Civilization. IVC predates Hinduism by almost 2500 years. Hinduism is only about 3,000 yrs old. Indus Valley Civilization is ~5,500 yrs old. And Mehrgarh period is even ~9000 yrs old. Please Ask Bollywood to fix this :)

Yes, Pakistan Always Existed. Known by many names over the centuries, it has witnessed many civilizations and empires rise and fall on its soil.

@Neha_Khurana16 @ChiffonSaree Neha, The Indus Civilisation (modern day Pakistan) predates Hinduism by 2500 yrs approximately.

@Zig4na @ChiffonSaree Mari Shiva temple in Indus Valley - what is it then? How many 3000 year old Hindu temples in Pakistan?

@altvu Cultures within a civilisation evolve over time under external factors like environment and interactions with outsiders. They’re never stagnant. Pakistan is more culturally closer to the IVC than India.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Geography doesn’t lie.

@Zig4na A civilisation is a cultural continuum. Not a geography. Pakistan is an Islamist garrison state. Not a civilisation. It is an Arab civilisational outpost full of illegitimates search for a root.

@Peshozai Yes, And Taxila (Takshashila) as well.

@Zig4na Ancient Gandhara was centered mainly in what is now northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, especially around the Peshawar Valley and nearby regions. The core heartland of Gandhara included: Peshawar (ancient Purushapura) Swat Valley Charsadda (ancient Pushkalavati) Geographically = KP

@Architworkk History says otherwise

@Zig4na There is nothing called ancient pakistani

@ChiffonSaree People living in modern-day Pakistan are the real people of the Indus Valley. Modern-day Indians have nothing to do with the Indus Valley. This geographical separation changed into a formal border in 1947.

@Zig4na They're not referring to indus region as Indica. It's completely refered to India. And the region west of Indus (ancestors of Pakistanis) were described as not very good as those on the east (ancestors of Indians). Again my fight is with your country cuz you stole the geography

@1SuperFilms @ChiffonSaree Bihar 😆😆😆 Gandhara civilisation was 600 kilometres away from modern day India.

@Zig4na @ChiffonSaree Maurya empire Bihar Not Pakistan

@ChiffonSaree They referred to ‘indus’ region as Indica. Indus region is in Pakistan. And it will always be. As i said earlier, your fight is with geography.

@Zig4na Still doesn't change the fact it refers to India and not Pakistan 👍

@ChiffonSaree You couldn’t be more wrong :) 98% of the Indus River flows through Pakistan, while around 2% flows through Kashmir (which is not India). So your fight here is with geography, not with us. Lastly, Persians (Darius I) came here before the Greeks, So Sindh → Hind → Indos → 🇵🇰

@Zig4na The river originates in present china and flows through India before reaching Pak. Why are YOU stealing the name? And secondly, unlike Pak India is a civilisation not just a country. It was Indica in 1st by Greeks long before sind -> hind -> ind transition.

@chenabism I forgot it’s Gandhara 😭 So Chief minister khyber pakhtunkhwa.

@Zig4na Yeah they've good taste , bet they like em hermes bag too

@ChiffonSaree There was no such thing as India before 1947. Current country of India is named after a river which is in Pakistan. Stealing the name doesn’t rewrite history.

@Zig4na There's no ancient pakistan. Pakistan is just 78 years old after the lines were drawn. There's a reason why there's "indo". There was only India back then.
