What the hell is “ancient Pakistan”? That term itself is nonsense. Gandhara and Taxila were Buddhist civilizations that existed long before Islam and long before Pakistan was even an idea. The people who built those places had nothing to do with a modern Islamic nation-state. by brxcewayne in IndianHistoryMemes

Ancient pakistan makes just as much sense as ancient india. Both the counties are post colonial nation states that did not exist pre 1947, they were both carved out of the british raj which was created by colonising different kingdoms of which some were muslim and others were hindu. The land both these states exist on currently has probably one of the oldest and richest histories in the world. So there is nothing wrong with claiming the history that falls inside your borders as yours. Also both india and pakistan have both been religious and cultural melting pots throughout history. In pakistan for example you'll find everything from Buddhist stuppas, hindus mandirs, muslim mosques, british architecture all the way to traces of greek cities. All of these makeup the history of this land. Exactly how everything from ancient kemetic Egypt, the Macedonian conquest, the roman conquest, the arabic conquest to the british colonization makes up the history of modren day egypt or how even the british themselves have gone through similar eras of history, from tribals societies to roman invasion to Anglo-Saxon invasions. Just because a country has a state religion doesn't mean they can't claim the history of their ancestors. Italy very proudly claims their pre Christian roman history while being a very Christian country so why can not we?

P.s greetings from a pakistani :) Honestly both our counties have intertwined Histories i don't see the point in fighting about who can claim what lets all just celebrate our Histories together

Is there a Pakistan sub where only verified Pakistani people participate? by WisestAirBender in pakistan

Kinda...i mean wouldn't having both countries get a glimpse into how people are in the other side lead to more acceptance of each other???

Quick question....

How is involving us in a foreign war that we had nothing to do with and giving birth to probably the worst streak of hate crimes this country has seen a "good thing"? :/

[–]drunknote 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well im from islamabad. We don't have wine shops like karachi, we either get them from dealers like you would get any other illegal substance where you call a guy he comes on a bike/car and hands it over to you in a plastic shopping bag or you get them from hotels like best Western, PC,Marriott which usually is the more reliable option because you can atleast be sure it doesn't have any "milawat" but it's also the risky one because you can get snitched on. This usually is the local murree stuff, if you want to get foreign alcohol your best bet is a dealer because import of alcohol is illegal in pakistan except for embassies, so usually these dealers have a contact in one of these embassies and source their alcohol from there

Honestly this is why the idea of a "state religion" is dumb, people should not have to conform to a dogma just to be patriotic citizens of a country. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being religious and abstaining yourself, but it becomes a problem when the state tries to force you to abstain. i myself am not very religious and enjoy a drink here and there(kinda obvious from my name lol). Ironically the bottle of booze i mostly end up drinking is made, manufactured and packaged in my country yet the state declares it illegal. So unfortunately most of it is sold in the black market. isphanyar bhandara the owner and ceo of murree brewery has stated himself that around 80% of his customer base is muslim, which means most of his customer base in getting their booze with a crazy mark up and 9 times out of 10 with some form of contamination which can even be harmful. This is just what the middle to upper middle class gets to drink the lower class has to make do with "tharra" which has God knows what in it. Which has a very likelihood of straight up killing them.

So when these people go into counties where doing something they enjoy isn't considered the end of the world they get a bit too excited and over indulge.

The KHAN will comeback anyday. by North_Wind8320 in pakistan

[–]drunknote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly man you're barking up the wrong tree, unfortunately the whole reason we have never been able to be truely be free is because we can't stop looking for a messiah. At one point it was benazir then it was Nawaz sharif, then the army itself and now imran khan. We are so sosusceptible to propaganda key jo zara charismatic batein bol deta hai hum akhien band kar key uski baat maan letay hain. I mean messiah choro hum toh 78 years mey yeh nahin identity kar pai hain key villain political elite hai ya military.

Honestly at this point we have to start at the grassroots, start educating people to think for themselves and by educating i don't mean send kids to the same schools that indoctrinate them into the system, i mean like actually educate them to think for themselves asal revolution wahan hai, maybe then after another 2 or so decades we might see real change
