Mehrgarh...The Lost Civilization

Manto mian,

I hope Harappa gets selected pretty soon, the site cud do with some funds and visibility.

Jayp,

I hope u will be gracious enuff to concede that u were wrong.

Anyway, lets pray that UNESCO guys get there b4 Mahatma Mehsud does.

Regards

( recall that harappa was withdrawn by mushy under pressure from the jihadis. )

Source???

Manto Garu,
(garu is a honorific in telugu .. just like “ji� )

Europe was in dark ages.. when it followed Christianity by the “book� … and ignored its past. Renaissance happed when Europe looked beyond christianity… to its rish past.

If pakistan wants to have a renaissance… it has to look to its rich past.. and draw from it for its nation building exercise.

Jayp and gracious?

He is a liar. A shameless one at that. Everything he has claimed on chowk from K for Kafir to everything else has been a lie.

I challenge him to show us a single link showing that Pakistan has indeed withdrawn its application for Harappa as a world heritage site... as if Jehadis didn't have other things to agitate about.

Re: # 83

Rest assure we celebrate our rich past ... Gandhara and Mohenjodaro more so than anything else.

How about you stopping Hindu fascists from destroying historical buildings because a "god" was born there first and then advise us on our rich past.

Guys,

Sparring apart- we desis are horrible when it comes to cherishing and preserving our natural and cultural heritage. The real danger is that by the time these nations are wealthy and educated enuff to appreciate their true worth, they may well have vanished. Hopefully things will change and it wudnt come to such a pass.

Regards

PS: Ages since I enjoyed a proper derby!!!

Re: # 88

my mistake.........this was for some other topic

Mahmood Saheb:

Thanks for a very informative article.

It appears that there is a continuity of civilization from Mehargarh and Mohenjodaro, as shown by the similarity of figurines, etc. Is it possible that the Indus Valley civilization disappeared for the same reason as Mehargarh, namely, because conditions became unsuitable for human living?

A word about Hindus and burial. While Hindus do cremate their dead as a rule, there are exceptions even today. I am aware of some communities, such as Nadars of Tamil Nadu who bury their dead.

Thanks Ijaz for your valuable input. It is regrettable that the article is not getting more interacts like yours and seems to be getting mired in the usual India-Pak mudslinging.

Re: # 61

". just like we are proud of our Mughal, sikh and British heritage."

Is there nobody left in Pakistan proud of
their Hindu heritage? Not even remaining
hindus? Is "we" all of Pakistanis or just
Pakistani muslims?
So average muslim in Pakistan is just like
a hindu fanatic who disowns any muslim
heritage in India?

Re: # 27 I did,nt flag it .

Re: # 43 what about genies of Hunduvata in India?

Re: # 83 This article is an efort to understand past, but to say Reniassance by worshipping past, it is as absurd idea as to ressurect old Greece. Phonexis rise only in stories not in realities. New things will create Renaisssance. not idle worship of past.Think new!

Re: # 90Thank you very much for appreciation , as to question of tis vanishing, will discuss it spearately and hope to wrtie more on these topics.
thx again!

Re: # 95
Mahfari,

There are several places in my area and some of them on my land with great potential for excavation. They are about seven hundred years old. Are you interested in these kinds of sites?. I have several of the artifacts which I dug up many years ago. My favorite one is “surumcho� i.e eyeliner tool
