What do you know about the religion of the Indus Valley civilization?

The religion Hinduism is called so, because it was the religion of people of the Indus valley. Archeological digs unearthed the seals of Pasupathi and mother earth, and this proves that. Many Indus seals have been deciphered now, and the results have been posted on the Indus Script Dictionary at Facebook. Names of Hindu gods appear on some of the seals, such as Andajan (Brahma), Ja (Vishnu), Shiva, Kali, Agni and Kanta (Skanda). There is also evidence for Jainism in the postures of some of the human figures on Indus seals.

Why do Historians know so little about Indus river valley?

The problem is not that less is known about the Indus River Valley civilization; the real problem is that much of what we are told by academics about this culture is untrue. We are told that horses, Sanskrit and wheels did not exist in India/Pakistan during Indus valley times, but the truth is that every level of Harappa (and many other IVC sites) have yielded bones of true horses (Equus caballus) verified by the biologist Sandor Bokonyi. Toy oxcarts with wheels have been found at several IVC sites. As for Sanskrit and Prakrit, Indus seals deciphered as long ago as 2010 have been found to encode such common Sanskrit names as Ravi, Mani, Aprian, and so forth. See the Indus Script Dictionary page on Facebook for more details.

Has India hijacked Pakistan's Heritage?

Although both modern countries of the Republic of India and Pakistan were created at the same time out of British Raj, the so-called Indians desperately tries to steal Pakistan's heritage, particularly the Indus Valley Civilization! This Indian hegemonic agenda is based on myths and false propaganda for religious and nationalistic imperialism. Also, there are some ignorant Pakistanis, particularly Islamists, who narrow-mindedly deny/ignore Pakistan's glorious pre-Islamic past. Harappans were certainly the ancestors of most Pakistanis, who absorbed or adopted the many waves of invaders/migrants through out the centuries. Indus Valley Civilization was mostly based in the region of Pakistan. The names used for the Civilization are "Indus Valley" or "Harappan", both are in Pakistan. The most largest and important cities are Harappa and Mohenjodaro, both in Pakistan. Even in the case of Hakra/Ghaggar river (extinct), a tributary of Indus itself, it has far more mature Harappan sites on the Pakistani side than on the Indian side. The proto-Indus site is also located at Mehrgarh in Pakistan. Indus Valley Civilization, at its peak, had colonies stretching from Turkmenistan to northern Maharashta, and from southeast Iran to western Uttar Pradesh. About 85% of Indians (i.e. outside of northwest India) have nothing to do with Indus Valley Civilization, where their ancestors were nomadic forest-dwelling hunters and gatherers at a time period when the sophisticated Indus Valley Civilization was flourishing. Indus/Harappan religion was not Hinduism. Not a single Hindu temple, idol, or statue has been found at excavated Indus sites. Harappans buried their dead, ate beef, and were not Vedic. The "Great Bath" was common in many civilizations such as among the Graeco-Romansand Mesopotamians. Depicted on some Indus seals, the "deity" wearing the horned head-dress looks nothing like Hinduism's Shiva, and similar deities were common in other civilizations like the Celtic "Cernunnos". Bull seemed to be sacred among Harappans similar to Mesopotamians and Minoans, but not the cow. A people may evolve by adopting new ideas/beliefs, change with political environment, and racially get mixed with other peoples, but that does not erase their history. Pakistan, the land and people of Indus directly inherits one of the greatest ancient civilizations of the known ancient world, just the same way present-day Iraq, Greece, and Egypt (all three countries and names also recent in origin) inherits their own great ancient civilizations. It is irrelevant that the descendents of Harappans are now mostly Muslims (Pakistanis). Descendents of ancient Mesopotamians and Egyptians are also now mostly Muslims, descendants of ancients Greeks and Romans are now mostly Christians. It is abut time that all educated Pakistanis take pride in their past, and protect it from thievery of other countries like India.
