It's South Asia, not a mythical Subcontinent.

[Truth Teller]

and that river flows from India and Pakistan itself was carved out from India....

India was created in 1947.

 

[harshad]

India was created in 1947.

[President Camacho]

The name "India" was originally applied to Punjab-Sindh (Eastern Pakistan)

By all means, feel free to call your own country India... we won't mind - promise !

 

[IND151]

India was created in 1947.

yes. India born on 1947.

before this it was Hindustan


before this it was bharat

before this it was bharatvarsha


now isn't it true that Pakistan is Islamic state and Islam was founded in 7th century?

on contrary Hindu religion and bharatiya culture is more than 8000 years old.

 

[madooxno9]

you guys represent US all the Indians are Bhartiya as bharat was created in 300 BCE

 

[Pride]

The Indian ocean is named after the Pakistani river Indus.

Pakistanis should be proud of the fact; the Indian ocean is named after our river Indus.

Another Identity Crisis issue.. lol

 

[madooxno9]

BIn -quasim came in 711 and Indus valley civilization goes far far back ...in date ... how you people embraced it as yours...only way you people can embrace is when you say that you all are converted muslims . otherwise it;s not yours... just promote tourism and if in any case even a single tourist come...then tell him the story that once might civilization was here ....which is now Pakistan....

 

[Gene]

Indians should be ashamed their identity/name comes from a Pakistani river.

we don't possesses such cheap mentality that we will ashamed of calling ourself indians, because the name india is derived from river indus which flows in pakistan...
even we don't feel shame citing the word "sindh" in our national anthem,which is a pakistani province.

its you who should be ashamed of being a pakistani which the whole world call a terrorist state.

 

[madooxno9]

^^^^ so do you agree that you are converted muslim...coz in Indus valley civilization there were no muslim...even the religion itself was not there on planet earth...

 

[Tiki Tam Tam]

Poor deluded hungry indian's the hungriest and most wretched nation on this fair earth, they strive to claim our beautiful and ancient civilization, because they know ancient bharat had nothing of consequence.

Rafimaharaj,

The dictionary meaning of subcontinent is :
A large landmass, such as India, that is part of a continent but is considered either geographically or politically as an independent entity.

But then that is in English!

Also note this:

As noted by A. H. Nayyar and Ahmad Salim, in a report for the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) in Pakistan, the educational system in Pakistan was designed “from the very beginning” to reinforce “one particular view of Pakistani nationalism and identity, namely that Pakistan is an Islamic state rather than a country with a majority Muslim population.” Furthermore, the educational system needed to produce an image of a “singular homogeneous majoritarian Muslim identity that could be sharply differentiated from that of India, even though it meant suppressing the many different shades within Pakistan.”

This was done through myth-making and the embellishment of history. In a chapter on “Historical Falsehoods and Inaccuracies” in Pakistani education, Salim observes that many Pakistan Studies textbooks declare that Muhammad-bin-Qasim, an Arab general who led the Umayyad conquest of the Sindh and Punjab regions in the early eighth century, was Pakistan’s first citizen—a full twelve centuries before its independence in 1947. Indeed, one textbook simply declares that “although Pakistan was created in August 1947, . . . the present-day Pakistan has existed, as a more or less single entity, for centuries.”


So, that is what Pakistani intellectuals have to say!

Obviously, you are a product of such myth making and perversion of history.

Your contention as ridiculous should the Indians disown Mughal history or that there was a person called Jinnah who founded Pakistan!

 

[Rafi]

He needs history books!!

You would say Islam came earlier than Hinduism?

Since Islam came with the first human being Adam, yes Islam is defo older than your religion.

I mean subcontinent as in the political term, it was attempt by india to claim other civilizations as it's own - that had no link to it's own.

OK so your culture and civilization.. so How many Vedas you read on which civilization was based?? So you and your family speak Sanskrit fluently.. right as that is also a cultural aspect of Indus valley..

Lol I love such Identity crisis thread when few Pakistanis and Bangladeshi discuss about it.. Other learned one Please pardon me

I speak a number of languages which include Urdu and Punjabi - and we don't know what language the ancients spoke, their language has not been deciphered.
