Friends, we get to hear a lot about Pakistan from time to time, but when you turn the pages of history, you will find evidence of many major civilizations and development regions and reforms within Pakistan. We are going to talk about some of those important events in today’s Blog. You will get to know a lot of new things from the Blog. Today you remained with us till the end. Friends, the time of arrival of humans in the region of Pakistan is considered to be 73 thousand to 55 thousand years ago. After reaching here, around seven thousand BC, humans became familiar with activities like farming and animal husbandry.
By 45 thousand BC, they started gathering resources for their comfort and with time they evolved into the Indus Valley Civilization. Indus Valley Civilization which is considered quite unique from both Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilizations. Not only the area of Indus Valley but the lifestyle of the people living here was quite different from that of Mesopotamia and Egyptians. It is believed that the Indus Valley Civilization was the civilization in which the use of wheeled carts in the form of bullock carts began.
Boards were also used during this civilization to cross these rivers. Friends, it is also said about Indus Valley Civilization that its cities were much more advanced than today’s cities. People of this civilization lived in houses made of baked bricks. Big tall buildings were built in their cities. Roads were at right angles. Here every house had its own bathroom. The walls and ground were made water proof by placing wire on the bricks. There was a drain coming out of the bathroom, through which the dirty water from the houses went out of the city.
The example of plumbing and sewer system that you see in Indus Valley is not seen in any other civilization. These qualities of Indus Valley attracted people from far and wide at the beginning of the second millennium BC. But climate change along with frequent droughts forced the people of the Indus Valley Civilization to abandon their cities, causing their population to settle in small villages and mix with Indo Aryan tribes, who migrated over time to become the Indian Ocean. Moved to other areas of the subcontinent. Vedic period which was the time between 1500 0 to 500 BC.
In this, Indo Aryans migrated to Indus Valley and settled here. With them came their distinct religious traditions and practices which merged with the local culture. It was during this time period that the oldest scriptures of Hinduism, the Vedas, were composed. These Vedic tribes remained in the Indus Valley till the sixth century BC and kept fighting against each other. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Persian ruler Darius I, who was the third king of a mini empire, attacked here, due to which the Indus Valley became a major area of the Persian Empire.
In 518 BC, Darius led his army through the Khyber Pass and by 516 BC they reached the Arabian Sea coast in Sindh, thereby introducing a centralized administration system with a bureaucratic system under personal rooms for the first time in the Indus Valley. Hui. But the surprising thing is that till date not a single community evidence has been found from these areas, which can positively identify a unit controlled by Pakistan. Friends, take a minute to look at Darius’ instructions and Greek sources about Umpire’s Eastern Most Steps and Borderlands.
In 328 BC, Alexander the Great, who at that time was the King of Macedonia, King of Persia and Pharaoh of Egypt. He conquered Bactria, setting up a mini-empire. But when Alexander died in 323 BC, he left behind a vast empire from Greece to the Indus River, which his generals, including the illustrious Ptolemy and Seleucus, divided up among themselves. But after some time, mutual disputes started between them and taking advantage of this, Chandragupta Maurya liberated North Western India, the western area of the Indus River, from the slavery of Seleucus. Later a deal was made between Chandragupta and Seleucus.
Chandragupta took Eastern Afghanistan, Baluchistan and the western area of Indus from Seleucus in exchange for 500 elephants. Due to which Chandragupta’s Maurya Empire became quite huge. Friends, today’s Pakistan and Afghanistan were also included in this Maurya Empire. Although 180 AD The Maurya Empire declined around 1500 AD and the Shunga Empire came into existence. But it could not reach Indus Valley. The Greeks captured the areas near the Indus Valley and influenced the region with their culture.
After some time, the Indo-Greek kingdom spread beyond the Hindukush. Their territory extended to around five kilometers in modern Afghanistan. Apart from this, it also spread to Punjab region in South East. Due to which the language, culture and traditions of Greece and India got mixed together. Which proved to be a very interesting period for this land. Soka who migrated from South Central Asia. They migrated to Pakistan between the second century BC to the first century BC where they replaced Indo-Greek. Indo Pakistan and Kushan.
Umpires ruled this in the first century AD and continued till the end of the third century. Shahpur I incorporated the Indo-Iranian borderland into the Kashmir region. Friends, the Gupta Empire was an ancient Indian empire that existed from about 320 to 600 and covered many parts of Northern South Asia, including some parts of today’s Pakistan. Its border was with the Empire in the Indus Valley across the Indus River. The Brahmin dynasty ruled the Indus region between 632 and 724.
There were many other small kingdoms in the region as well. Another important period for this land was the expansion of the Arab Caliphate in the seventh century when rebel forces reached the Indus Valley after conquering the Middle East and local empires. During the time of these Arab Caliphates, Mohammed bin Qasim conquered most of the Indus region for the Umayyad Empire. As the new religion spread widely, people started adopting Islam. Apart from this, Arabic and Persian languages also spread rapidly during this time.
The Ghaznavi Empire and then the Guru Empire ruled many countries in the Indus Valley and areas beyond, as a result of which more and more people adopted the new culture and religion. The Delhi Sultanate was an Islamic empire based in Delhi, which extended over large parts of the Indian subcontinent for 320 years, from 1206 to 1526. Delhi Sultanate was ruled by five dynasties namely Mamluk, Khilji, Tughlaq, Sayyid and Lodi dynasty. Friends, the Delhi Sultanate covered parts of modern India, Pakistan and Bangladesh as well as southern Nepal.
It was during this Sultanate that Hindi and Urdu languages emerged, which had a significant impact on Indian culture and society. The Mongols then invaded the region between the third and fourth centuries, and at the end of the tenth century, Timur invaded the Punjab region where he plundered the cities. The First Battle of Panipat was fought on 21 April 1526 between the forces of Babur and Ibrahim Lodi, the last ruler of the Lodi dynasty. This battle was considered very historical and important because this battle took place in North India.

In fact, the Mughals had built many mosques, mausoleums, madrassas and forts here.
In such a situation, we can say that the Mughal Dynasty has greatly influenced the art, architecture and culture of today’s Pakistan. However, at the end of the tenth century and the beginning of the ninth century, the Mughal Empire also declined and during this time, other dynasties invaded the region and took control of the region, which included the Durrani Empire, Maratha and Sikh Empires. . After some time, most parts of modern Pakistan were captured by the East India Company of the British Empire and it was the last empire to rule India for a long time.
After which many conflicts took place in this region in which the British fought many battles against the local rollers, Sikhs and Afghans in which in the end the British won and thus Pakistan, which till then was a part of India, was formed. It came under the control of the British and remained under the control of the British till 14 August 1947. Friends, you all know the story after this. The British divided India very cleverly as they went. India was divided into two parts due to which two independent countries named India and Pakistan emerged.
Apart from this, how these Britishers converted the wonderful Gurukul education system running in India into a poor system like schools and how they created divisions among the Indian people in the name of castes and made them fight among themselves and ruled for hundreds of years.
