Few days back i was watching Professor Rafiq Akhter religious thoughts on that subject.....According to him...Allah has bestowed his blessings to everyone in this Universe. Each Society have concept of single God to be worship,this creed get distorted with passage of time and that resulted in their ultimate destruction....So according to him its not worth to take pride in a ruins where Allah has shown his rage of destruction.....then later on he explains why we always find Statue of Gods while digging?? it gives us the wrong conclusion that each society in primitive world worship Stone crafted GODS???....as a muslim that's wrong belief in itself bcoz we believe in series of Prophets send to each society in different part of the world....Point is man is prone to make same mistake over & over again which forces Divine forces to set example to rest of the world....Sumarian/Egyptian/IVC are those that are now open to the world buried in deep soil with full evidences...one thing that is common among them are that they're all IDOL WORSHIPERS

I really enjoyed your Observation...thanksFirst of all we are talking of period 2500 B.C. to 1500 B.C. here. At that time there are only three civilizations in the world at that time. Sumerian, Egyptian and Indus Valley. Not all human settlements qualify for the status civilization. Please read on primary and secondary attributes of a civilization in historical/ archaeological context. Please limit your discussion to the period we are referring to. As to Hindu scriptures of which Rigveda is the oldest, none of them are dated as far as IVC. Rigveda appeared in around 500 B.C. Some 1000 years after decline of IVC. There is neither an old surviving script of Rigveda nor it is a scientific reference. Rigveda is composed of narratives of Rishis (persons who heard and forwarded the narrative) as is believed by followers of Hindu faith. As a scripture of faith to some, it is fine to believe in it. Each individual is free to believe and practice its religion. However presenting a scripture as a scientific evidence can not be accepted. For that you need hard science like archeology, genetics, geographical history and linguistic science. Please keep in mind that River Indus has never been in history a sacred river nor the area which is Indus basin remained with area east of it as one unit. In the last 5000 years, it has been only 300 years when area which now is Pakistan remained United with what now is India under an indigenous ruling dynasty. That is Maurian empire. Parts of India and Pakistan have been for some duration but neither for long and nor for entirety.
It is pertinent to note that Hindu faith had never claimed it's roots in Indus basin till 1920s when first IVC site was discovered by British. There is good strong evidence of that. No ancient temples in Pakistan. No sacred rituals associated with this area and no evidence of ancient Hindu history here. It was, until 1920s believed that Ganges basin and area south of its western half was birthplace of Hindu faith. Himalayas in the north mostly associated with meditation practices of Hindu mythology. It was also believed that Hindu faith is the oldest in the region and everyone was happy with this fact. No mention of Indus or this area. British were happy too as they found European (aryan) connection. Shock came after Railway engineers found Harrappa ruins and immediately the effort to somehow connect it to Hindu faith started. Just by any means possible. Some people just could not swallow that there existed a great civilization before Hindu faith. So please, I request you to take the history as it is and do not feel ashamed of what you have or where your roots are.
hahaha....you're right but i want Indians to hinge around us all the time...consider 1.2 Billion people who just blindly following mantra of IVC association in itself appear radiculous......so if are eager to fall in our lap (Tourism perspective) then let them feed their misguided thoughts indirectly....If Gov ask me to devise a tourism policy....I first make them beleive "We hold the Magic-Wand" ...then .."I instruct them dance according to our tunes"The energies which Indians spent to somehow attach themselves with IVC (while only minority have genuine linkage), Had they spent 1/2 of energy in digging south they would have found their forefathers.
