Re: From Meluhha To Pakistan: The Embodiment Of A Civilization
Gandhari would be from Gandhara which was present in northern Pakistan (Taxila, Swat, Peshawar, Charsadda and Takh Bai etc) and parts of Afghanistan. Remember Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan?
Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan used to be Buddhist till 5-6 century AD, you can call that Indian civilization or what ever. But then China and other Asian countries were also Buddhist. I consider the Pashtuns to be locals as they are in this area for thousands of years. They are as much invaders as Mauryans or Guptas.
