The name itself says Indus means Indian.

Not Pakistanis

[merwynm5]

There was nothing called Pakistan before 1947. Entire Pakistan was India. If we want we can take it back and we can make it India again.

@HITESHDON1 unfortunately India didn't exist at that time.

[HITESHDON1]

THIS IS A INDIAN Civilization NOT NOT A PAKISTANI OK

@sonofthedestroyer

subcontinent has seen too much of migration of various ethnicity and races, outsiders as like mongols, afghans, turks, arab ravelling in for trade or invading land, their generations settled here and mixed up wiht locals. Its hard to to say who exactly were the original 'natives'. In Balochistan (Pakistan) there are people looking like africans and same ethnic people are founding Southern India around Orrisa.

I am based in UK. I was so electrified see this video because I was born in Harappa but left at early age. Some time in lift I will come back and visit those ruins. I remember we used to play hide and seek, running up and down around there when I was like 6 or 7 something. Unfortuately it wasnt so much looked after due to lack of funding. But the museum there is worth seeing.

Thanks whoever placed this video here.

@Indiaexpress,

There was no such thing as 'northern Indian' in those ancient times. The entire subcontinent had black skinned people. Even now dont be fooled. There are many descendants of black people in Northern India and Pakistan. Check pakistani drummer Pappu Saeen.

The lighter skinned liars controlling Indian media like to portray that blacks only live in southern India.

[razaqvance]

[juanlmesl]

[Indiaexpress]

was there any account that states the word pakistan some 4000 to 5000 years ago?bharatvarsha was the name used for the indian subcontinent more than 5000years ago.

[taimmorak]

I am taimoor Ahmed Khan making a documentary on indus civilization brothers and sisters living in any apart of world , please share your knowledge with me yours name will be mentioned and copywright protected.

[diliprai]

Watch the video " namaste(greetings) from nepal"

and you see 3 kinds of people.

1. Kiratas(indo-mongoloid) mentioned in Veda

2. Afro-Austric(Dravidian)

These 2 are the indigenous of indian sub-continent.

3. Indo-Aryan( who are strictly into vedic culture)

From the people we know the truth.

Truth can be hidden but it can never be erase.

The IndusValleyCivilization covered all of Pakistan and a great lump of India.

All rivers that lead up to the Indus river and the Sarasvati river (even parts of the Ganges) have settlements linked to Indus civilization.

(The Sarasvati river or Ghaggar-Hakra River has dried out)

Also there are many clues to link it to Dravidian languages, but I agree, no definitive proof.

Don't let current national pride issues diffuse the work of uncovering these great archaeological sites.

forgive my muslim brothers and sisters coz all the education they got is only from madrasah. they've never seen a proper university coz they have no capacity,

[8275989]

IS THAT WHAT THEY TOLD YOU IN MADRASAH???hahaha

[culturalmut]

omerlives, actually the academic discourse is setlling around the proto-dravidian theory.

the aryan theory has been pretty much conclusively dismissed.

[AdiZetaFunction]

You monkey brained, smelly Paki. Hahaha you showed your typical attitude. It won't be long before Pakistan is nuked and all your terrorists are killed, including you.

And learn to spell, you filthy inbred.

[AdictToSlipknot]
