    Why is our full history not taught to us in Pakistan Studies?

    From a different thread, but still relevant to your claim.

    Muslim Pakistan versus Islamic Pakistan - Which Was Jinnah’s Vision?

    Jinnah was a man, he was not an infallible being. His ideas and beliefs changed and shifted throughout his life, which is why everyone from communists to secularists and Islamists will quote him to support their beliefs. Nor does it really matter, a country that tries to model it's political...

    How should Pakistanis view the Mughals?

    This entire forced conversion nonsense is a cringe coping mechanism that has been refuted time and time again. Modern-day Pakistan became Muslim majority far before the arrival of the Mughals. If forced conversion was a "strategy" employed by these Muslim dynasties. Their core territories and...

    How should Pakistanis view the Mughals?

    Mughals were viewed very negatively in modern-day Pakistan up until the 1900s when the rise of Indian Muslim nationalism began to reevaluate the Mughals as some utopian Islamic state, a symbol of bygone glory. The reality is that Mughals saw modern-day Pakistan as a backwater to be exploited and...

    Results of my DNA test

    Native Pakistani (and NW Indian) ethnic groups form a genetic cluster that is distant and distinct from Indian ethnic groups, this cluster also has a level of affinity with East Afghan ethnic groups. So they just decided to categorize these groups under "Central Asian".

    How can our pre-Islamic ancestors be claimed to be following Brahmanic or Zorastrian traditions if they ate beef and buried their dead?

    Buddhism was first introduced to China and Korea through monks from modern-day Pakistan. Sindhi Hindus bury their dead. Holi and Diwali are very new to Sindhi Hindus and started to be adopted during the 1900s as the influence of "mainstream Hinduism" grew among Sindhi Hindus, even then, it was...

    Results of my DNA test

    That is because they define Central Asia as Tajikistan, Afghanistan and the Indus Valley. The actual Central Asians that we typically associate with the term (Kazakhs, Turkmen, Kyrgyz, Uzbek, etc...) are genetically distant from us and have very little genetic connection to us.

    99% of Pakistani Syeds descend from individuals that forged their Syed ancestry so that they would be exempt from taxes and obtain economic and social privileges.

    Why the ethnic hate recently?

    Farsi has had a much stronger history and connection to modern-day Pakistan than Urdu, our region literally had it's own unique dialects of Farsi. It was a British policy to repress Farsi and promote Urdu as means of integrating the "North-West" (modern-day Pakistan) with the rest of the British...

    Why the ethnic hate recently?

    Urdu/Hindustani/Hindi was not a language relevantly spoken in modern-day Pakistan until the 1900's. The "later" Mughal Emperors that spoke and promoted Urdu did not control an inch of modern-day Pakistan. British envoys of the 1800s remarked how none in the region (Punjab & Sindh) could...

    Why the ethnic hate recently?

    Because mods are allowing it to thrive, one member suggested putting Pashtuns and Baloch into concentration camps and he still hasn't been banned.

    ABP India Summit 2023: Javed Akhtar Saw "No Visible Poverty" in Lahore, Pakistan

    I have travelled around, would regularly visit our relatives that lived in rural Punjab. Haven't been to Balochistan, Sindh or South Punjab though, so perhaps you're right.

    Pashtun Students, Shopkeepers etc Attack & Thrash Baloch Students in Quaid e Azam University

    I have grown up with Pashtuns and Baloch and have never met more trustworthy and hard-working people. It seems that you guys probably get bullied by racists in the West and want to say the same things that are said to you; to other ethnic groups.

    ABP India Summit 2023: Javed Akhtar Saw "No Visible Poverty" in Lahore, Pakistan

    Poverty definitely exists but it's nowhere near what you would expect. I have noticed a massive disparity between reality and the "stats" or the doom and gloom news articles which tend to depict a Pakistan on the verge of economic collapse.

    Life in Pakistan in the eye of a Vietnamese

    Both Urdu and Farsi are seen as effeminate in Punjab. That is very subjective. I feel like Punjabi "flows" more naturally. Punjabi songs, hymns, etc... sound a lot better than their Urdu counterparts. This thinking is a result of generations of indoctrination by the British and their...

    HOW THE INDUS VALLEY FED ISLAM’S GOLDEN AGE

    Jahaliyya does not pertain to knowledge. It pertains to superstition, immorality and polytheism.

    Is this meme (Persian contributions to islamic Golden age)fair?

    It's largely nonsense, there has been a revisionist trend to remove "Islamic" from the "Islamic Golden Age" but this simply doesn't hold up in history. Indus Valley and the Indus Valley Civilization are two very different things. Everything else you're spewing is incorrect as well. "Brahmans"...
