The Indus Valley Civilization was one of the world's first great urban civilizations. It flourished in the vast river plains and adjacent regions in what are now Pakistan and western India.
Ancient Indus Civ is extinct and was definitely not Vedic --as claimed by some of the more jingoistic hindu nationalist walas here who have no clue what on earth they are talking bout. The point being made is that its part of Pakistan heritage like everything else in the Indus lands and valleys, and I dont know why you bharty knuckle-heads find it appropriate to derail such threads with ownership claims rather than contributing positively.
As brother T-Faz once argued, any person should be assured that educated Pakistani's have been since our birth recognised our pre Islamic history, it is designed on our currency notes, we learn about it in school and told of it throughout our lives to respect and educate our future generations on these civilisations.
on the other hand, I have also observed hindustanys who openly condemn all architecture in their country because it was made by Muslims who they say were invaders, even intelligent bharty students who dont consider any of the impact on culture and life to be of importance.
so cut the crap and see things how they are. We are very proud of our heritage and the amount of diversity in our motherland, our gift, Pakistan.
