بین الاَقوامی تاریخی قواعد کے مطابق کسی بھی ملک کی قدیم تاریخ اس ملک کے موجودہ نام ہی سے جانی جاتی ہے۔ اگست 1947 کے تقریباً اڑھائی سال بعد، 1950 میں، برطانوی سَر مورٹیمر وہیلر، جو کہ دنیا کے مشہور، آثار قدیمہ کے ماہر تھے، "پاکستان کے 5000 سال" کے نام سے انگریزی میں ایک کتاب لکھی۔
1962 میں، پیٹرسن اور ڈرمنڈ نے "سؤان دی پلیؤلِتھِک آف پاکستان" کے نام سے ایک کتاب لکھی۔ (پلیؤلِتھِک وہ زمانہ ہے جب انسان پتھر کے اوزار بناتا تھا اور تقریبا 33 لاکھ سال پہلے سے 11،650 سال پہلے کے درمیان کا زمانہ مانا جاتا ہے)۔
5000 سال پہلے، پاکستان کو عراق کے لوگ ملوھا کہتے تھے۔ 3000 سال پہلے، مشرقی ایرانی زبان میں حرف 'س' نہیں تھا اور وہ اسکو 'ہ' بولتے تھے۔ دریائے سندھ کو ہند کہتے تھے۔ اسی نصبت سے دریائے سندھ کی پوری وادی کو بھی ہند کہا جانے لگا۔ 1947 میں اسی علاقے کے لوگوں نے اسے پاکستان کا نام دیا۔
400 قبل مسیح، یونانی دریائے سندھ کو اندوس کہتے تھے۔ اسی نسبت سے وادئ سندھ کےعلاقے کو بھی اندوس کہنے لگے۔ 4وتھی صدی میں پاولس اوروسیئس نے اندوس کو لاطینی زبان میں انڈیا لکھا۔ 9ویں صدی میں انگریزی میں برطانوی بادشاہ الفرڈ نے اسے انڈیا ہی کہا۔ 16/17 ویں صدی میں لفظ انڈیا مشہور ہوا۔
پاکستان ایک جدید شہری تہذیب کی حامل 9000 سال پرانی ریاست ہے ، جس کی ابتدا بلوچستان میں موجود 9000 سال پہلے آباد ہوئے مہرگڑھ شہر، 6000 سال پہلے آباد ہوئے پختونخواہ کے شہر رحمان ڈھیری، 5300 سال پرانے پنجاب کے شہر ہڑپہ اور سندھ میں موجود 4500 سال پرانے شہر موہنجوڈارو، سے ہوئی۔

3000 years ago Hindu meant peoples living in a geographical area. In 8th century Adishankara identified 6 major pagan faiths; Hindu/Hinduism was not included. In 1833 British formalised Hinduism as religion by adding numerous native faiths & it emerged as youngest major religion.
According to Indian President Dr S Radhakrishnan, "term Hindu had originally a territorial & not credal (religious) significance. It implies residence in a well-defined geographical area." Also, both Jains and Buddhists state that their religions are older than Hinduism.
Some in Republic of India use the term Sanatana Dharma to represent Hinduism. Sanatana Dharma has its advent in late 19th & early 20th century primarily to replace a foreign given name Hinduism a local version.
Indians say plebiscite in Kashmir couldn't be held due to non-withdrawal of Pak Army. UN Resolution of 13 Aug 48 says Pak start withdrawal process Ist & while its army WAS BEING WITHDRAWN, bulk of Indian Army was to start withdrawal. India refused to share withdrawal plan with UN
While Pakistan shared its Army's withdrawal plan with UN Mission, it were the Indians who refused to share their withdrawal plan with UN. It clearly meant, they had no intention of withdrawing their forces from Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Indian farce is exposed.
UNSC 1952 Kashmir Resolution No 98 stated that at the end of period of demilitarization, 3000-6000 forces could stay on Pakistan side of cease-fire line & 12000-18000 forces could stay on Indian side. India never withdrew majority of its army, forcing Pak Army to pend withdrawal.
Invasion of Kashmir by Indian Sikh Jathas & Hindus began in Jul 1947 in Jammu region, much before Pathan tribesmen entered Kashmir to protect Muslims. It happend after Jammu massacre by Indian Sikhs & Hindus till Oct 1947, killing well over 250,000 & ethnic cleansing of Muslims.
Indian Sikh Plan for invasion of Jammu & Kashmir was conceived in 1945. Its outlines started emerging in early 1947. Indian Sikh Jathas & Hindus invaded Jammu first, killing over 250,000 Muslims & ethnically cleansed over 500,000 into Pakistan to change Jammu region's demography.
Sikh jathas were “working under some centralised control” said British commander of Boundary Force in 1947. Surrounding Muslim villages, waves of Sikhs hurled grenades, set fire to houses & swordsmen hacked down those trying to flee. Over 120 Muslim villages in Jammu were burnt.
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.
Pakistan is Land of Indus. Also called Abaseen, Father of Rivers. In Rig Veda, written in Pakistan (1500 BC), Indus has been identified as the only male river in area. Tributaries of Indus have been identified as female rivers.
Pakistan thus, is the Fatherland & not Motherland.
In Tibet Indus is called as god river & in Pashto, Father of Rivers. Rig Veda applies feminine gender to all rivers, except Sindhu with a masculine gender. Sindhu is seen as a strong warrior amongst other rivers seen as goddesses & compared to cows & mares yielding milk & butter.
"Pakistan, the Indus land, is the child of the Indus in the same way as Egypt is the gift of Nile. The Indus has provided unity, fertility, communication, direction and the entire landscape to the country".
Many people in Pakistan believe that Raja Porus who fought the Battle of Hydaspes (326 BCE) against Alexander of Macedon was a Hindu. Raja Porus was not a Hindu but a Buddhist and this has been confirmed by many well known Numismatic scholars.
Indian religious scripture Satapatha Brahmana (500BC) calls Puru tribe Rakshasas & Asuras (Demons). Also used for Buddhists. Hindus say Porus (fought Alexander of Macedon) was a Puru & thus Hindu. Can Asura or Rakshasas be Hindus. Porus was Buddhist. Numismatics confirm this fact
As stated in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, Volume 6, the coins of Porus' era prove unmistakably that he was a Buddhist and not a Hindu as is famously believed.
