The fact is now Indus valley civilization is a part of Pakistan but it wasn't before 1947.
2) Isn't the people of this land was Indian before 1947?? In 1947 India just got independence. But India and Indians were there for thousands of years.Who ever invented zero was Neither a Pakistani nor Indian
1) There is no Indus valley civilization now than how it is part of Pakistan?!!!! You can say that many of the sites of IVC are in Pakistan now.

The Indus based people had little or no contact with bharat - which was based around the ganges. People in Ancient Pakistan, began to convert to Islam, through the efforts of peace Muslim Sufi preachers, it was a gradual process, and was largely complete a few hundred years ago.
In fact bharati civilisation is something that we Pakistanis have no claim on, it is what the modern state of india is based on. And therefore all the Indus based culture is distinct from modern india.

In this century the cities slip into terminal decline. No one cause seems responsible, but a combination of climate change, over-cultivation, and changes in the course of the Indus may contribute. The weakening of the monsoon is probably the most important single cause. Scribes in Sumer record that rich shipments suddenly cease at around 1800 BC.
c.1700 BC
The Indus culture dies out. Its people move east into Rajasthan and the Ganges watershed. Others head south to Gujarat, where the sea port at Lothal continues to flourish for a time before being abandoned too. Its inhabitants merge with the Stone Age tribes of the Deccan Plateau in central India and others in southern India. Squatters take over the abandoned citadels, living in slum dwellings, and village life continues in the countryside. The urban heritage is passed on to the east and engenders the emergence of cities in the Ganges valley and northern India, and the civilisation's reverence for animals is also passed on.
There was no concept of indianess, People were Punjabi, Sindhi, or their religious or caste affiliation were what defined them.

@ARCHON the people of the Indus valley migrated to the Gangetic Plains due to a shift in the monsoons.
