Finding it very hard to refrain from commenting on your post.

#metoo... I am and others are not discussing religion or dissing and cussing religions...here we are discussing cultural/historical/traditional things.

Okay how about...Buddhism being concocted within the heart of Gangadesh...Gangu culture written all over it...Buddhism is Gangu in character, thought, intellect, vision

In case of Hinduism, it is a very delicate and vague distinction.

How come You deciphered that so quickly?

Buddhism originates in present day India/Nepal. That's proven.

And yet you claim that we aren't south Asian...

Europeans have been in America form over 400 years. Will it make them a Cherokee or Cheyenne or Apache or Navajo? No! they proudly claim their European ancestry. Turks have been living in Anatolia for 1000 years but the still proudly claim their ancestry to Central Asia and not as descendants of Mesopotamia. We should stop this fetish and nonsense of associating ourselves with South Asia and IVC.

Just a random search on the internet does it.

When you say WE it becomes confusing. Maybe your ancestors came from Middle east and didn't mixup here however Pakistanis are not a homogeneous group of people there are dozens of groups having different lineage and ancestors. I keep mentioning the castes for a reason.

All Hindu gods , well at least the main ones , are of white skin and Caucasian or Central Asian features, meaning they were not from current india but foreign kings and queens who strengthened their position by portraying themselves as god's.

Really ! Actually they are all black and are Dravidian gods and goddesses. Indo-Ayans migrated around 1500 BC and their main deities were Mitra, Varuna, Indra, and Nasatya (Ashvins). Shiva and Krishna are Dravidians gods and they are black deities. The name "Krishna" originates from the word Kṛṣṇa, which is primarily an adjective meaning "black", "dark", or "dark blue". The worship of Shiva started in Indus Valley Civilization long before the migration of the Indo-European invaders from the Eurasian steppe.

How did Buddhism vanished in thin air in current united India landmass...and flourished in Burma/Thailand/Nepal/Sikkim/Malaysia...it was all decimated and thrashed by the Brahmanical Hinduism.

As for thought, intellect, vision, this is all alien to Brahmanism and hated by...this is specifically the Brahmanism. Your skills, your education, your hard work, no....they don't matter, your "inheritance" matter. And where ever the "inheritance" comes, there comes the "identity". And that is the root cause why we are discussing about buddh or hindu.

It was during the Shaka era that Buddhism came to be divided into Mahayana and Hinayana. It was during the Vikram era that Pali, the language of the Buddhists was exterminated.

Hindu history is perhaps just 2055 years old but in order to show its superiority it exterminated Pali and destroyed the cultural and religious identity of Buddhism. There sealed the fate of Buddhism in India.

Can't imagine Kali Mata is whitish...
(She is referred to as a great and loving primordial Mother Goddess in the Hindu tantric tradition.)

This is a travesty of justice...all the Gods coming from her are White and fair??.

Dude..
If you had concentrated on your Bollywood movies, you had noticed how white and foreign looking Hindu gods are.

It originates WHOLLY in present day India...Siddhartha of the Sakya clan may have ben born right on the border of India and Nepal (with the Sakyan oligarchy spread equal parts in present day Bihar and the low plains of Nepal)....But Siddhartha transformed into the Buddha in present day India after learning meditation from Hindu Samkhya philosophy masters but not feeling totally satisfied with the teachings...All his best disciples who later spread buddhism were Indians...heck even till late first millenium AD the most famous Buddhist masters remained Indians .....(with a late surge from Bengal and the Deccan)...Nagarjuna is considered a rockstar across Japan,Korea and the likes for expounding upon the philosophy of emptiness

Pakistanis cannot claim distinction from Indians by waving the flag of Buddhism in our face..(They have abetter chance if they try to reclaim Hinduism whose Brahmanic aspect is an import from the North West) ...Dood we practically built Buddhism ground up..we built the Mahabodhi temple...and once Islamic influence waned during Maratha times, Sri Lankan kings started sponsoring the rebuilding of Mahabodhi temple

The Buddhist pilgrimage circuit remains ENTIRELY in India, with the sole exception of the birthplace of the Buddha

We Gangus are the Alpha and the Omega as far as Buddhism is concerned----->end of story

Islam is associated with tribes while Hindus are associated with castes. You should decide who you are.
