Mehrgarh...The Lost Civilization

Re: # 33

"Most Pakistanis have a very low opinion of Saudis in general for many reasons ... including religious ones. They have clout because of the oil subsidies but that does not extend into cultural sphere."

Culture Sphere??
The only culture that Pakistani Islamic state envisages is that stated in the classical Islamic thought - only dhufs in music - no iconography apart from that considered permissible by the local maulavi- no literature that offends Islamic metaphysics- Manto classics are absolutely Kufr- no to TV - no to theatre - no to cinema- just make the women hide in chadars and rear the children. that leaves out poetry- which also cannot breach the Islamic metaphysics and its metaphors.
That is , in short, Islamic pure culture that Pakis do not follow because of the 'bad' hindu influences.(read Basant and Urdu)

. Saudi follow the Islamic culture in its 'purity' , Pakistanis only claim to be pure - I have seen the way these Sheikhs abuse and have a low opinion of Paki muslims!!

". how about taking some responsibility for the demolition of a 16th century building in Ayodhya ... "

how about taking some responsibility for the demolition of hundreds of hindu temples and idols in Pakistan since partition??

Manto ji,

No gandhara statute on the front page of this mission http://www.pakmission.ca/index.ASP

QED.

And so come the geniuses ... laddu and ananth who just know that Pakistanis follow all things Saudi.

No we don't. Most Pakistanis have a very low opinion of Saudis in general for many reasons ... including religious ones. They have clout because of the oil subsidies but that does not extend into cultural sphere.


Besides... before you start shedding crocodile tears about the Prophet's house which hasn't been demilished yet... how about taking some responsibility for the demolition of a 16th century building in Ayodhya ... where "secular" Hordes ran amok on the basis of some speculation about the birth of some god.

Incidentally a lot of sites from the Indus Valley civilisation are cropping up in North Western India, apparently more than a 100 sites have been excavated in Haryana alone plus Punjab, Western UP and Rajasthan as well.

PS: Also... Gandhara civ receives a lot of government patronage and exposure.

There is absolutely no truth to claims that Pakistanis neglect their past. Infact... the Kitas Raj temples and their renovation shows that we preserve our past... unlike some other countries where historical mosques are razed down by "secular" hordes screaming "Ram Rajya" because some mythical god was "born" in that place.

The Gandhara statues as well as Mohenjodaro civilization is boldly displayed at every foreign mission of Pakistan. You may visit to check the same.

My sincere advice to Indians is to kindly stop making everything into their own spin.

bhai Saheb,

Quran ki ayaat ko red flag to mat karo!!

upar wale ka khauf to karo??

I sincerely hop Pkistan takes pride in its past, and not follow the lead of Abrahamic archeologists, who never dated anything before "gensis".

I also hope pakistan does not follow th saudi model and dstroy all that pre- dates advent of Islam in tha country.

Re: # 24 You are pointing to the right direction, we have not been able to know its depth! Hope to write on comparative civilizations of world Insha Allah!

Great article. Mahrgah is proof that Pakistan is as much the cradle of human civilization as the fertile crescent.
