Re: I have a question
it was all india back then
Girl you are sooo naïve.
Ok so Pakistan didn’t exist back then and I admit Pakistan is younger than India but India did not exist back then neither, it was not "all India" like you assume, yes you heard me India didn’t exist back then it was only united into an empire called India/Hind by foreign Muslim invaders. Indians seem to think India existed since time immemorial well let me tell you that is not the case, now it’s time you threw away the demontale textbooks your greasy Shiv/Pashupati-Sena/VHP/RSS, Pandit Ji gave you and open your head a bit.
I admit to a large extent Pakistan does have a common heritage with India, and ok I admit the dominant cultures in South Asian countries (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives) are all closely related, my point was Sanskrit is our heritage as much as it is India’s, we left Hindu cults behind and don’t want anything to do with them because we have a new and better ideology and spiritual path but we chose to retain the non-religious parts of our culture such as language and dress because our religion doesn’t have a problem with that, if faggot/queer thinks Pakistanis are ashmed of their culture then he is mistaken, Pakistanis still follow the same culture and Sanskrit/Hindi names and words in Pakistan are very common, the only thing we have changed is adopted a better spitirual path and superior ideology, we were enlightened because we're not bigoted and closeminded, that doesn't mean we want to be Arab, I've never met a Pakistani who wants to be Arab except maybe those that live and work in the Middle East.
Having said that cultures change and there is nothing wrong change and adopting things into our culture from other cultures if they are for the better, all languages and cultures evolve on interacting with others, Pakistani culture and language is essentially Indic/South Asian but it has took from other cultures such as Urdu having Arabic, English and Persian words and Pakistanis wearing Shalwar Kameez which was imported but these things have now come to be associated with this region. Change with time is good provided it is for positive reasons.

It says that the Indus Valley people (Mohenjadaro and Harrapa) were most likely Dravidians, who were pushed downwards by the Aryans when the migrated to the sub-continent. So that way, you actually got no right on these civilzations, nor do I, cos none of us is South Indian. Lol, ain't that funny. So why dun we just agree that, sod it-- it was part of our heritage no matter what, feel good about it and just leave it at that?

I don't really care for race or caste (caste too is a result of racism based on skin color), people are defined by how they live their life not by where or what their ancestors came from.
Just for clarification Pakistanis and North Indians do have Dravidian blood mixed into them, that's not a permanenet tan they have, none of us are pure Aryan, even the Brahmins mixed with the local Dravidians, a lot were driven down south but sometimes their women were captured and took as forced wives or concubines by the VEDIC Aryans.
I'd like to see the caste sytem and racism obliterated from India as much as from Pakistan, both nations are racially very diverse from region to region and people need to ignore racial background and follow the national culture if they want their nations and region to be strong.
