yeah right, Moenjodaro along river Indius in Pakistan has a history going back to one of the earliest civilization on the planet on par with the Nile and Eupharates, you should really pick up a book.

Another institution destroyed by neglect, Pakistan has been steadily going backwards thanks to an inferior breed of leadership with every change. The slide downwards began when Ayub Khan gave up office and nose dived when the arrogant Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto took over, that was the real tragedy of Pakistan….the PPP.

That seems to be the problem with many countries with Islam as official religion. It seems Malaysian history starts when their Muslim Sultans started ruling…they do not want to talk about their tribal origins, Buddhist & Hindu past.
Saudi Arabia didn't give permission to American archeologists who wanted to excavate some prominent mounds in the deserts of the country, lest everyone know of their past social history prior to Islam.

We Punjabis are more tummy /food/ parantha/kabab people than serious historians or art lovers. History for us probably is mohalla gossip and art is no better than the nail polish and the color of then curtains and the shade of the walls. Even Chandigarh Museum in India which has a good collection of Ghandara/Mathura sculptures and number of mughal/kangra/sikh painitings is not a very popular place. I guess any chaat papri shop gets more visitors than the museums.

MS. Ayesha, that is the difference between India & Pakistan. India is proud of her past, be it Hindu, Buddhist, Mogal, Phatan even British. They preserved them with utmost respect and honor. This ancient treasures which we are having, (Both India & Pakistan) has been painstakingly re-discovered by the British in both Pakistan. India preserved them with pride. Pakistan wants to forget them as bad dream. Because Pakistan have no past, they have just started in 1947. It was also desirable that the writer should give some photos of the displayed art craft.
