| | The people of India have had a continuous civilization since 2500 B.C., when the inhabitants of the Indus River valley developed an urban culture based on commerce and sustained by agricultural trade. | | | Over thousands of years of its history, India has been invaded from the Iranian plateau, Central Asia, Arabia, Afghanistan, and the West; Indian people and culture have absorbed and changed these influences to produce a remarkable racial and cultural synthesis. | | | India maintains that the entire former princely state is an integral part of the Indian union, while Pakistan insists that UN resolutions calling for self-determination of the people of the state must be taken into account. |

| | Pakistan's Jihad Culture |
| | Pakistan's continued support of religious militant groups suggests that it does not recognize its own susceptibility to the culture of violence it has helped create. | | | When Pakistan was formally created in 1947, the rulers of Muslim-majority states that had existed within British India were given the option of joining India or Pakistan. | | | Moreover, some chancellors are unwilling to expand their curricula, arguing that madrasahs are older than Pakistan itself -- having been "designed 1,200 years ago in Iraq," according to the chancellor of the Khudamudeen madrasah. |

| | ::: PANCHAYAT - South Asian Politics, Society, & Culture ::: |
| | Many Indians are apt to romanticise the benevolent nature of Indian foreign policy in past conveniently overlooking the willingness of the state to use force against weaker or smaller adversaries as in dealing with internal insurgencies in Hyderabad state in 1948, the Naga movement in the 1950s and Goa in 1961. | | | Having said that, Ramesh overlooks to mention that one of the reasons that Indian troops were used to maintain stability in Iraq, was the perennial frugality of the treasury in London, which wanted colonialism but colonialism on the cheap and Indian soldiers were invariably cheaper than their British counterparts. | | | The historic circumstances under which Indians came to be dispersed around the world, has given it an obligation to consider also the well-being of the Indian diaspora. |

| | The fact that these pioneers of the ancient Vedic culture and hence the induism were indigenous people of mother India, is mendaciously denied by the Aryan Invasion theory which professes their foreign origin. | | | One of the latest archaeological ideas is that the Vedic culture is evidenced by Painted Grey Ware pottery in north India, which appears to date around 1000 BC and comes from the same region between the Ganges and Yamuna as later Vedic culture is related to. | | | The Vedic culture was thus said to be that of primitive nomads who came out of Central Asia with their horse-drawn chariots and iron weapons and overthrew the cities of the more advanced Indus Valley culture, with their superior battle tactics. |
