Ali Gohar’s comment tops all. Also, the reference of Swat as “Paradise on Earth” is actually used first in the Original Religious book of the inhabitants of Indus Valley in their scriptures known as Rig Veda when it was written in swat thousands of years ago. The book actually mentions all weathers of swat and colors the valley changes in different seasons and it even tells about when lambs and goats comes down from high hills to low pastures for grazing etc. Now the word “Hind” was given by the Invaders to the land and it’s inhabitants who lived on the banks of the once mighty river called Indus or Sindus that flows through the valley we now know as Pakistan. Searching and finding out instead of negating or denying one’s origins from history actually is as birth right of any human being that no one can deny another. One can believe in anything that’s part of evolution but avoiding to discover the past is nonhuman.

Pakistanis need to be proud of their brilliant Hindu ancestors, not the barbarians from the deserts who converted them.

Beautiful observation Ali, right on the mark. That is the real beauty of Hindustani culture which is part of our culture as well. I really hope our Indian friends will agree with you.

Instead of spreading the news why not keep it secret. It has remained protected only because it remained hidden.

This was a bit off the mark and not related the main topic. By the way who except the Dravadians in India had one time other not invaded Hindustan. If one were to believe this crap, only the South Indians are the true dwellers of India and the rest are invaders.
The cultural richness of India which we see today owes itself to repeated invasions starting as far back as 1500BC probably even before that.
