Surprisingly, the author seems to have taken to Indian propaganda regarding pseudo claim of India having a civilization. Indian civilization if at all, is based more on Hindu mythological civilization which essentially is presumptuous in nature.
The civilizational linkages between China and Pakistan are the ones which are factual and can speak of singularity of identities. The mother of civilizations in South Asia is Indus Valley Civilization and is basically Pakistani in nature and not Indian. Pakistan is the scion of and hold the cradle of this civilization, which once was Hindu, Buddhist and is now Muslim.
India can, propound on a format of Hindu religious society with a rather old heritage - but not a civilizational structure, entity or such an identity.
Therefore, the Chinese civilizational linkages are actually more akin to Indus valley Civilization and thus Pakistan.
