The Vedas came from the Indus valley civilization
Sigh, no. Much further north-west of that. And not all of them. Just the earliest one.

The Vedas came from the Indus valley civilization
u don't use your palm, just the fingers.Ohh, damn, don't describe the details. I have no problem eating rice balls with hands, but I can't stand squeezing rice, sauce, meat, even soup together with hands...
We call ourselves as "中国" (pronounced as Zhong Guo), literally the Middle-Country.The name for China by the way comes from the Sanskrit name "chin"
I believe you are an intelligent man. And recognize the difference between a civilization and a modern nation state.
Lets agree to disagree. There is a lot to appreciate and admire about China.
Being the world's oldest living unbroken civilization is not one of them.
As a civilization, your spirituality and wisdom was always brought in, assimilated, adopted from the Indian civilization. In that, you were always the junior partner. The pupil, India the teacher.
Again, you could rightfully agree to disagree.
The Vedas came from the Indus valley civilization in Pakistan, not from India. And it was brought by Aryan invaders from Central Asia.

Simply put, till you rid yourself of the faiths of your ancestors, you were a Dharmic civilization.
You no longer are. Ergo, broken. Not continuous.
Again, you could rightfully agree to disagree.
Again, the Indian Civilization never existed back then.
The source of your modern civilization is from Pakistan, from the Indus Valley civilization. Which was brought by Aryan invaders from the Middle East.
There is nothing of the native culture today that remains after the Aryan invasions.
"Indian civilization" is a concept of the British. Even the religion Hinduism did not have a name, it was also named after the Indus River by the British.
These "invasions"
Can you help me with a date? An epoch maybe??
The start of the Vedic period?

I can share some of my humble opinions here.How would you define a "continuous" civilization my friend?
What are the essential elements that must endure?
I can share some of my humble opinions here.
By "continuous", it means the ancestors in very ancient time already had independent records on own history, so people today don't need to fully rely on archaeology to understand the history;
And the descendants today can also understand the ancient scripts. The understanding of ancient scripts is NOT the previllage of very few experts.
Take China as the example, we have very old ancient history books like 尚书 (The Grand Book), 左传 (Commentary of Zuo), 史记 (The Book of History). These books were written in 2,000 to 3,000 years before. And surprisingly, the ordinary Chinese people today can still understand these ancient books.
For example, below is one page from The Book of History (史记), which was authored in 2,100 years ago. You can check with any Chinese member on this forum, they can all read and understand the content.
