The line of argument generally is that "ancient pakistan" was Indus based, and not Ganga based "Bharati" civ. :lol:
But the Gupta Empire (where Aryabhatta devised the concept of zero) is was based in the Gangetic heartland :D
All that talk of "culture" is absolute crap. Only superficial thing is the language. Chinese are the biggest (right after South Koreans) Anglo Saxon suckups .
They be the first to dump their name, convert to Christianity (John Chang is such a nice name no?) and be more acceptable. :agree:
Nice flame from a "Little Emperor" ;)
What Chinese culture are you talking about mate ? Hans don't wear traditional clothing anymore, the traditional family system has been broken. They use idiotic names like "Great Wall" for their industrial products, where is the culture in that ?. btw No...
Timur :lol:
Timur pales in comparison to the what Genghiz Khan did to the Hans. He slaughtered 40million of you folk, it's one of the largest mass killings in recorded human history (right next to Mao's great leap ofcourse)
btw Unlike Hans, Hindu is not an ethnic group.
There were Buddhist and Jain Kingdoms in South India too !
South had it's own flavors of Hinduism, It is speculated that Shaivism (worship of Shiva) originated in Tamil Nadu
Sanskirt didn't devolve and die out resulting in Prakrit. Sanskrit was language of the elite while Prakrit was language of common folk.
Also, Marathi/Bengali is more like 75% Sanskrit
