Its all about the history of a region now called as Pakistan. Ethnically majority of Pakistanis are Indians-any Arab, Turkish or Persian ancestry goes to the rank of minority. The ancient history of Pakistan goes as follows: About 4500 years ago, a race called Aryans used to live in the steppes of Southern Russia (also known as Asia Minor). They were loose-knit network of tribes with common culture. Their language was Sanskrit and some of their gods resembles present day Hindu god and goddess such as: Agni, Varuna, Arjun, Monu, Devas etc. At certain point in history Aryan race started to migrate southward. One branch moved westward and settled in places like Iran, Greece, Turkey, Italy and Germany (remember how arrogant was Hitler because of his Aryan blood!). The branch that came to Iran and adjoining places gave rise to a religion called Zoroastrianism. The other branch migrated East towards India. They mixed with Indus valley civilization (currently in Pakistan) and ultimately colonized India particularly whole of Kashmir, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. The aboriginal Indians were forced to migrate southward. The Aryan religion came in contact with hundreds of local religions giving birth to Hinduism. Hinduism in fact is not a religion, it is a collection of philosophies (describing ways of life). The original language that Aryan bought to India (Sanskrit) gave rise to some of the major Indian languages such as Hindustani (Hindi), Bengali, Urdu, Nepali, and Assamese etc. Many Pakistani might not like the idea, but historical truth is that, Urdu originated from a branch of Sanskrit language called Hindustani who’s script was changed to Persian (by Moguls) for ease of reading and writing. Later on many new words were incorporated from Farsi and Turkish languages to enrich Urdu and make it more palatable. Arabs, Turks, Persians and Europeans came to India thousands of years later. Indian civilization is at least 2500 years older than Arabian and European civilizations. In that context, Pakistani people should feel more proud to Identify themselves as Indian rather than as Arabian. Because when Indians were living in built up cities and producing world class mathematicians, philosophers, writers and scholars and considered as one of the most developed country in the world, Arabs were totally barbaric,living as nomads in desert devoid of any civilization.
