Beyond Borders: The Indus-Sarasvati Civilisation and Pakistan’s Search for Identity

The article explores the profound global influence of the Indus-Sarasvati civilization, highlighting its pivotal role in ancient maritime trade and intellectual development. It notes that while recent archaeological discoveries are reshaping the subcontinent's history, Pakistan’s sudden attempt to embrace this heritage appears to be a politically motivated shift rather than a purely organic historical reassessment. Ultimately, the author suggests that this shared civilizational legacy should serve as a foundation for common ground rather than a tool for contemporary political rivalry.
