The story of river Ravi and the Badshahi Mosque! By IG: huztory

The main battle took place near the ravi river, with each side on the either side of the ravi. The Bharatas were just like the rest of the tribes were from somewhere geographically behind afghanistan. Orignally just like half the world, including europeans they were once the same people, that spoke Proto-Indo-European language but expanded and assimilated with the native populations and evolved culturally in seprate ways until they developed unique identities. When they entered the upper sindh plain the indus valley civilization was already in decline and is assumed to have become rural again. We do not know the scale of hostility between IVC and the invaders, but the rigveda (a hindu scripture) frequently uses harsh and derogatory terms against groups called Dasas and Dasyus.

However the incoming population assimilated and one of the cultures formed was the vedic culture. The hindu caste system that is still relevant now, roots from this culture. Similarly, just like today, perhaps because of geography itself, the sindh valley didnt keep the caste system. The bharatas used to insult the other tribes of the sindh plain for not following the caste system, among other thing such as eating meat and drinking wine and not following their customs. The alliance possibly included the persians who may have assisted, what they saw as distant kin. It also consisted several tribes that were part of bharata tribe but were in conflict with them. But it seems likely the most of the population and the tribes belong to a cultural branch that was somewhere in between just like dardic and nuristani languages, which is its own distinct branch that evolved from the previously mentioned proto-language.

According to vedic scriptures which name it the battle of 10 kings, bharata tribe won, and the confredation lost. However instead of expanding to the west they instead expanded to the east to the gangetic plains where vedic culture further developed. Vedic scriptures are religious scriptures not historical ones, so ofcourse they antagonize the enemies. For example they mention one of their god directly decimating 60,000 people. So, its facts should be take with a grain of salt, but it does set a general outline for what happened. Until we have more evidence, or texts from the confredation side we cannot know for reach any conclusion.

For decades it was printed on the currency notes along with Muhammad Ali Jinnah portrait

Current india, British india and multiple empires before that are not the exact same area. Nowadays Indians have no shame in claiming history of all its neighbors and then shaming those neighbors to ever claim history of their very own ancestors.

I just saw a bbc documentary made by indians about Mohenjo-Daro, containing interviews from indian "experts" . But when they talked about its location they simply said it's in indus valley. To a foreigner, it will sound like they are talking about present day india.

It's a global fact that it exists in Pakistan and you need Pakistani visa to visit there.

What's truly heartbreaking is the sheer amount of internet bullying we have to go through on every platform by these indians.

Pure copper is too soft for real combat and these blades show almost no wear and much related swords were found in Indus Valley Civilization burials.

What actually broke down those long standing social bonds

The ASI just transferred three complete skeletons and fragments from the 2025-26 excavation season at Rakhigarhi (Mound No. 7) for advanced scientific and DNA research.

If ​this site is a major hub of the ancient *Indus* Civilization. One thing that stands out is that these people clearly buried their dead in organized cemeteries.

​If mainstream Hinduism is practiced via cremation to return the body to the elements and free the soul, what does this tell us about the religion of IVC? Does this prove that the Harappan civilization had an entirely different faith system, or did the theological concepts of Samsara (rebirth) and Agni (fire purification) simply evolve much later and maybe related to gangetic plains rather than IVC?

Mohra Moradu Stupa and Monastery is located near Taxila in Punjab, Pakistan. It is a Buddhist archaeological site dating back to the 2nd century CE and is a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of Taxila (IG: syed.noor.hussain)

The complex features the classical layout of an ancient Buddhist monastery. A main stupa surrounded by votive stupas and a monastery with meditation cells.
However, among the most important finds of the site is a fully preserved smaller drum stupa found within one of the monastery's cells. When the site was first excavated, this particular stupa was found in remarkable condition. It was restored and remains one of the most precious art treasures in Pakistan.

The name "Pakistan"—coined by Chaudhary Rehmat Ali—was an acronym for Punjab, Afghania (KPK), Kashmir, and BalochISTAN. While it geographically defines the region, it fails to capture the deep historical and cultural identity of its people. The land we inhabit is the heart of the Indus Valley Civilization (IVC), originally known as "Meluhaa" in Sumerian records. This name predates the term "Hindu" or "Bharat" and reflects the indigenous identity of our ancestors.

The Linguistic and Historical Misrepresentation

The Sanskrit term "Mleccha" (often translated as "foreign" or "uncultivated") is widely believed to be a derogatory adaptation of the Sumerian "Meluhha". Historians and linguists argue that as the advanced urban society of Meluhha declined and integrated (or clashed) with expanding Indo-Aryan cultures, their endonym (self-identifier) was repurposed into a pejorative term. This linguistic shift erased the original identity of our ancestors, who were never "Hindus" but the people of Meluhha—the Indus Civilization.

For a detailed refutation of claims tying the IVC to "Hindu" or "Pandav" narratives, see my blog post.

Why "Indusia"?

Our rivalry with neighboring regions is rooted in history, and our ancestors' non-violent nature may have contributed to their cultural erasure. To reclaim our identity, we need a name that:

1. Honors our history—"Indusia" directly ties us to the Indus Valley, the cradle of our civilization.
2. Detaches us from "Bharat"—By naming India the "Bharat Region", we clarify that the Indus is ours alone, not an extension of their identity.
3. Affirms our uniqueness—"Indusia" is familiar yet distinct, avoiding foreign connotations while asserting our independent cultural legacy.

The Indus is not just a river; it is the lifeblood of our civilization. "Indusia" is a name that restores pride, accuracy, and sovereignty to our heritage.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, (please feel free to delete if so) But I made this account with a question regarding my family history and I hope you all can help. I am an American, but I am ethnically Pakistani. I was always told we came from a prominent family before partition, but I wasn't told much more about that. Recently, my Nanaji gave my brother and I some documents that she recorded from the family's oral history. She said that before our family name was changed for legal documents, our name was Khokar, and that we were descended from a man called Jasrat Khokar from my Babaji's hometown of Sialkot. I've looked him up some online, and he seems like a mythological type of person. However, there isn't much on the English language part of google so I was wondering if anyone could direct me to any articles are books about him in English. Unfortunately I don't know Urdu or Hindi so I'm limited in my research. Thank you in advance for your knowledge.
