I don't claim anything like we are the same or anything. I have heard Pakistanis say the same thing as you claim btw.
So the most populous parts of Pakistan were not in the Mongol empire. That's what your map shows. Thanks. Anyway, this is a history discussion. I only asked about the Mongols because the general consensus in history was that the Mongols were not able to take any significant part of India.
I personally believe that the land and people of Pakistan which lay to the West of river Indus are not the same or even similar to Indians, however, the land and people of Pakistan to the East of River Indus have a lot of similarities with North Indians.
50% of our landmass was taken by the Mongols, so I say that counts.
We have also been part of the Persian, Greek, Arab, and other empires. While India has never really been part of them.
It is true that east of the Indus we share more commonalities with Indians but that does not make us the same.
Canada and US share a lot of commonality but they are absolutely different nations.
PS. Indians tend to hate Arabs and call them invaders, but in all of Indian history Arabs have NEVER invaded India. Bin Qasim only invaded the Indus and that was the first and last time an Arab invaded Pakistan.
WE ARE NOT, and a reprimand for those who think so.
Don't know about the misplaced ambitions of your nation-state but your ancestors sure tried a lot and the humiliation they suffered each time is well recorded in the annals of history. Peace out.
hehe, making up fake history to pretend like you are a big man.
Pakistan has never ever invaded your swamp, neither has any of our ancestors. We rather eat beef then fish and ants.
But you people sure were easy to conquer by the British.
British actually humiliated you for 400 years.
They barely managed to hold Pakistan for less than 100 years. Even then they never fully conquered our western parts.
Remember, it was the British who started the "Martial race" concept. They knew what they were talking about after dealing with you lot for 400 years.
