You may call it a culture instead. But because this may be identified as a culture, as in way of life, there were still different types of cultural ways of life where either there was one God or many, that were followed by a different sets of people having different sets of belief systems. This...

No, I have never said that. Islam came to Pakistani landmass much later and before that the people did follow different religions. All I am stating is that Indian Hindu religion was not the one majority followed here. These people were monotheists from earliest times, then they adopted Buddhism...

We can discuss the Indian Y chromosome if you so desire.

Please read my reply to @ MKI 30 where I have responded to most of the points that you have raised. Also, you have not read my reply correctly. I also stated that Pakistan is not much concerned about Indian Navy as long as the conventional imbalance is balanced through nuclear deterrence. This...

The major change in US military strategy has already taken place which entails a shift from being pre-dominantly Euro-centric Continental Strategic Format (primary land based operations) to Asia-centric Maritime Strategic Format (primary sea based operations). This entails maintaining US primacy...

US 7th Fleet is stationed at Okinawa, Japan and 5th Fleet is stationed at Bahrain. The US Navy's vision statement states that its priority is Pacific and Indian Ocean. Therefore by default India has lost control of its own back-yard. China is very strongly placed in SCS due to its A2/AD...

I never said that. I believe that the man landed on earth from the heavens and eve emerged from his side. That is why most women stand by their men. :)

If you read my post without getting annoyed, you would find that I mentioned India is surrounded on land. However, in the Indian Ocean there are extra-regional navies which are much more powerful than Indian navy and therefore even there, Indian Navy would remain a second fiddle. Pakistan is...

I do not deny the fact that there would be cultural mixes at various times. These people traded extensively and would have been influenced. However, surprisingly there is no mention of or indication of any Mesopotamian cultural linkages in the IVC people and its landmass, though they traded the...

The power does not translate through symbolism. If the Indian Navy would be a good looking dame, that'd be a different matter - but I do not like the ugly grey.

Please re-read the first post. Details are mentioned with time frame which clearly indicate that the land of Pakistan was Hindu only in limited context and in some parts. Majority population did not follow the Indian Hindu religion whereas only some rulers were Brahmins/Hindus, and this is a...

Buddhist and Jain texts only casually refer to the Mahajanapadas with almost no details. So how would the stories, as referred to in Mahabharata are qualified to be true. Like I said earlier mere mention of geographic details does not confirm stories narrated about those locations. History of...

US, France, UK, China and Russia etc can project their power potential because either they do not have a powerful regional threat to counter or they have enough capability to deter a regional threat and also project their capability to take care of extra-regional threats. India is strategically...

@kingkobra Very informative posts indeed. How many times have you visited Pakistan.

Mention of locations in a story does not mean that the story is correct, it still remains a story. Mention of Bharatas in Rig Veda was to indicate the importance. Mention of practice of monotheistic religions in this part of the world was to highlight that these people essentially did not...

When you do not have facts to respond, it would be appropriate to join your 4 year old and read Peter Pan and Batman. You may learn something new.

Sarcastic - yes, factual - not even close. IVC had nothing to do with Arabs. I do not understand why do the Indians use sarcasm when they try and misleadingly link Arabs and the people of Pakistan. However, IVC does have similarities with Persian and Central Asian civilizations. The Central...

The Pakistanis present the correct historical perspective. It is astounding that the Indian historians and the people at large have been so blatantly misled by their own into believing something which goes against the historical and archeological evidence. You are highlighting the references...

Sorry that was incorrectly posted in response to your comment. And how old are you.

I would agree with his basis for making such comments, that the people of India and Pakistan are different set of peoples. They do not have the same culture, they have not followed the same religion since thousands of years, their genetic admix is different, their land is different since...
