Around 6000 years ago, an enhanced socio-cultural interaction between various regions of urbanised phase of Indus Valley of Pakistan commenced. Gradually, a geographically unified entity was transforming into a socio-cultural & civilisational unitary order, called Pakistan.

Indus Valley Civilisation (IVC) did not consist of City States like Mesopotamia. More similarities than differences attribute to IVC like governance, weight measurements, size of bricks, similar pottery/terracotta, city grids, construction standards, trade practices & a lot more.

The precursor of Indus Valley Civilisation of Pakistan has been acknowledged to be 7000 BC Mehrgarh in Balochistan, Pakistan. It was excavated by a French team of archaeologists in 1974 and scientifically proven to be a 7000 BC (9000 years old) archaeological site.

Ancient site of Sheri Khan Tarakai in Bannu Basin, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan covers area of 0.2 sq km. It represents a single cultural horizon from over 6000 years, showing parallels with pottery of 9000 years old Mehrgarh & ancient sites in Cholistan & Punjab.

IVC Pakistan was a unified geographical entity with more similarities in governance, city grids, construction standards, trade practices, wt measurements, bricks, pottery etc. Contrarily India had more disparities than similarities, confirming it to be an artificial creation.
