East Pakistan's separation was inevitable; they were separated by thousands of miles sea, surrounded by a hostile nation and had distinct languages, culture, history, ethnic groups, etc... Religion can bind people to an extent, but it would be naive to consider it the sole fabric of national...

I'm waiting for this:

It happens, no need to make a big deal.

"South Asia" was never under our rule, we were not the Mughals. Each ethnic group of Pakistan has a major historic figure famed for fighting and resisting the Mughals; examples include Shah Inayat Shaheed, Khushal Khattak, Abdullah Bhatti and any more. Besides some major cities such as...

It was primarily used to write Gandhari, but has also been utilized for Sanskrit and it's regional variants.

Kharosthi was not limited to North-West Pakistan, but was the dominant script of the entire Indus Region, it's inscriptions are found in every region of Pakistan, though more concentrated in the North.

I am working on the revival of the Kharosthi script, it is a significantly easier script to learn than the Arabic script and represents the various sounds and accents of our region much better. So far, I have created a keyboard for Kharosthi and I am working on a draft for "Modern Kharosthi"...

This is Takfiring someone and carries an immense sin, may even negate you as a Muslim. I recommend you to ask for forgiveness from Allah.

That's not true, we know the lexicon of Gandhari as we have found thousands of inscriptions, reliefs, tablets, plates, etc... in Pakistan, Central Asia and Western China. The script doesn't borrow from Aramaic, it descends from Aramaic. Mongolian, Devanagari, and many other scripts also descend...

Incompatible example as Gandhari does not borrow any words from Aramaic. I'm not sure how that is addressing my "argument" here. Also, that chart is cringingly inaccurate, it doesn't even differentiate between Lahnda Pahari (basically hill dialect of Punjabi) and Nepali/Indian Pahari. Not to...

Prakrit was not a language, it was a designation for non-Sanskrit Indo-Aryan languages. Each Prakrit language was distinct from each other. Kharosthi was primarily used to write Gandhari, though it was also used for Sanskrit and regional languages. How have you come to that conclusion, why...

I am pretty sure the language is Gandhari. He means the language, not the script. What proto-Bactrian Empire are you talking of? Do you mean the Greco-Bactrians?

Possibly, if we were to take a harder stance. Though, it should be known that many of our artifacts are in International Art Galleries, brought there by smugglers and then auctioned off. The only way to get those back is by buying them.

From the Persian word "satrap"

That "Field Marshall" built all of our mega projects that still sustain us today, hell, he even built the court from which this verdict was announced.

Just ignore them, their kind mostly exists on the internet and are dead wrong when they claim they represent the sentiments of mainstream Pakistanis. was waiting for a comment like this, lol By this logic, most of the West should ban entry to Pakistanis

The ones I have interacted with know no other nation than Pakistan and they are no different to other Pakistanis. You cannot generalize an entire people. It is like saying we should send all Muhajirs back because of MQM, even though Pashtuns regardless from which side are more tied to the...

Time for Ghazwa e Kailaasa

I'm really appalled by some of the comments here, sounds exactly like right-wing westerners whenever a Muslim or Pakistani commits a crime abroad.
