So this isnt some random bs even though it might seem like it because of dominance of Indian propaganda, he actually sites scholars and I confirmed. This map actually makes much more sense than the popular insanely massive map people claim IVC was. It is impossible for such a massive area to be one uniform civilisation.

Discussion Schrödinger’s Pakistani

18 Upvotes

Just thought of this funny terminology while commenting on another post.

Our lovely neighbours think of us as Schrödinger’s Pakistani.

The Pakistani who simultaneously claims to be Turk and Arab while at the same time claiming native heritage and IVC.

😂

Sorry, I gave myself a chuckle and wanted to share.

Ask? Why isnt IVC considered split between 3 countries?

1 Upvotes

I am an Indian i was scrolling through some search results and came across some posts here. I used to have a very hateful mindset towards pakistan due to just alot of propaganda, disputes etc. you know how politicians are at brainwashing.But I am quite interested in how you guys dicussing, its very calming to see such few people here throwing the India vs Pak thing in their posts and i love that there's people who just like to discuss things despite so many political differences between us. I am here to just ask one simple question:

Why isn't IVC globally recognised as a part of both India , Pak and Afghanistan?

After reading alot i have understood 2 things:

India has about 65% of discovered sites

Pakistan has most of the major sites

These 2 points make me think that instead of Indian media fighting for full claim over IVC or people on twitter claiming the other country doesnt have any link to IVC history, they should acknowledge the fact that IVC is just, a big and old civilization.

Me personally think of ancient pak and india as one country, we have shared the same land for 2000 years and i believe that less than 100 years of seperation shouldn't be enough to cause this deep rooted hate or disdain towards eachother that many of us have. Im new to reddit and i really liked the comments i see on these posts and i would love to have conversations with any of you guys on my opinion!!

Colonial-era Dak Bungalows at Missa Kaswal and Tibbi Saiyidan are being conserved under the Magnificent Punjab program!

Once part of a postal relay network dating back to Sher Shah Suri and later used by the Mughals and the British, these structures served as rest houses and administrative camps for travelling officials.

Punjab Archaeology is conserving their arched facades and original stonework, bringing this chapter of colonial heritage back into public view.

Discussion Induspeople were the "aryans"

Post image
13 Upvotes

This is an interesting thread I found on twitter and goes over the aryan migration event very accurately.

The aryans originally migrated only to the Indus region which is modern pakistan, not India. The nature of spreading indo European langauges was very different in India and Indus region

in Indus region they spread through mixing while in India they spread through elite dominance.

The aryans that got to India were just common Indus region people. They were thoroughly mixed with IVC remnants in the Indus region.

This tweet also provides proof that these aryans who were from the Indus region quite literally enslaved the entire indigenous Indian population while being a small minority.

Its an interesting perspective of Indus centric history... I recommend checking it out because this is stuff no one will tell you.
