MBharat’s New Disguise: A Desperate Attempt to Steal the ‘Indus Civilization’ from the Debris of ‘Arab-Turk’ Identity

​For some time now on global platforms, and particularly in international discourse hubs like Singapore, a new tune is being sung by Pakistani intellectuals and policymakers. A nation that until yesterday claimed to be the ideological heir to Arab Sheikhs, Turkish Sultans, and Persian rulers is suddenly hell-bent on declaring itself the sole progeny of the ‘Indus Valley Civilization’. But is this a genuine change of heart or the biggest intellectual theft in history? This question is critical because this new narrative is living proof of Pakistan’s deep internal crisis, the hollowness of its identity, and a new strategic conspiracy being hatched against Bharat.

​Pakistan is a nation born without any historical or civilizational identity. For the past seventy-five to eighty years, from their school textbooks to the mindset of their military, there has been a blind race to look distinct from Bharat. Initially, they claimed descent from the Turks and the Mughals, completely forgetting that the people of Anatolia themselves migrated there from Central Asia. When Turkey and Iran refused to give them any weight, this narrative collapsed. Following this, Pakistan donned an Arab identity, declaring themselves the spiritual children of the Arabs. The result is that today, Arab nations, particularly the UAE and Saudi Arabia, are packing these identity thieves onto planes and sending them right back. The UAE went as far as to explicitly tell them to clear out. Surrounded by established civilizations on all sides, a rejected Pakistan panicked. On one side is Iran with its ancient civilization, above is the superpower China, and to the east is Bharat, the torchbearer of Sanatan culture. To escape this knock-on effect, they noticed the remnants of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro within their geography and overnight transformed into the ‘Sons of the Indus’. Pakistan needs to understand the fundamental difference that Islam is a religion born in Arabia, which is why there can be Muslims all across the globe, but ‘Bharatiya’ is the name of a civilization, and the Indus Valley Civilization is an inseparable part of this grand Bharatiya Sanatan structure, not an independent or severed identity.
​Look at the height of this ideological hypocrisy: on one hand, Pakistan’s Information Minister and Field Marshal Asim Munir beat the drum of the Indus civilization, while on the other, their own scientists, like Pervez Hoodbhoy, scream that even their science textbooks have been stuffed with radicalism. Science there is no longer science; it has been completely Islamized. It is a profound irony that their missiles are still named after invaders like Abdali and Ghauri who poured in from Afghanistan, yet today, to protect themselves from drones and attacks originating from that very same Afghanistan, they suddenly remember the shield of the Indus.
​Behind Pakistan’s Indus tune lies not just a mental delusion, but a calculated economic strategy aimed at angling for foreign money. Pakistan wants to showcase itself to certain self-proclaimed liberal Western nations, like Australia and New Zealand, as the custodian of a great historical heritage, solely to secure fat funding from international institutions for the preservation of these ruins. Alongside this, the tactic is designed to divert public attention from collapsing internal fronts. Today, Pakistan stands on the brink of absolute economic failure. The fire of independence is raging in Balochistan, where Baloch leader Akhtar Mengal stands up in the National Assembly to remind the Pakistani military of its true standing and the humiliation of 1971. The bugle of rebellion has been sounded in PoK, with its people looking toward Bharat, while the dream of ‘strategic depth’ in Afghanistan has turned into a severe strategic blowback. In the midst of this, the public is being fed the opium that they are the kings of the Indus, that this economic misery is a minor issue, and that the Field Marshal will fix everything.
​The second end of this civilizational drama is tied directly to the Indus Water Treaty. Pakistan hurls nuclear threats at Bharat, warning of attacks if the water is stopped, but the truth is that the Prime Minister of Bharat has stated in no uncertain terms that every single drop of Indus water belonging to Bharat’s share will not go to Pakistan. Pakistan spreads propaganda that Bharat cannot exit this treaty, but experts in international law should read Clauses 65 to 67 of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. If there is a fundamental change of circumstances, any nation holds the absolute right to opt out of a treaty or demand renegotiation, just as the US walked away from the JCPOA deal with Iran and both Russia and the US tore up the INF Treaty. Bharat repeatedly served notices to Pakistan in 2023 and 2024 to renegotiate the treaty, but this state sponsor of terrorism chose not to respond. Bharat has now given Pakistan a ‘triple talaq’ on the water diplomacy front: find your own path, take only what is your river share, and not a single drop of our rightful water will be spared for you.
​When Pakistani rulers engage in ‘Track 2’ diplomacy or stage the drama of ‘Aman ki Asha’ with Bharat, they conveniently forget that their history and present are soaked in blood. How can a nation that cannot live at peace with its own people give peace to its neighbors? The silence of the global community over the military that committed genocide against its own brothers, the Bengalis, in 1971 and violated the modesty of hundreds of thousands of mothers and sisters is utterly shameful. Even today, the systematic suppression of Balochis, Pashtuns, Shias, Muhajirs, and the Kashmiris of PoJK continues unabated. Whenever Bharat adopts a firm stance, their rulers—just as Zia-ul-Haq or Musharraf used to do—show up to watch cricket matches or enact peace farces. This is nothing but an old strategy to waste Bharat’s time and buy time to prepare the next batch of terrorists.
​The foremost condition for claiming a stake in the thousands-of-years-old Indus civilization is to accept that your ancestors were Hindus. If the Pakistani state possesses that courage and honesty, let them first apologize to Bharat for their terror activities. This also serves as a lesson to Bharat’s old candle-bearing brigade and the patrons of biryani diplomacy who routinely trip into Pakistan’s trap. Fortunately, the young social media generation of today’s Bharat possesses a crystal-clear, nationalist mindset that thoroughly understands the reality behind Pakistan’s peace charade. Bharat will no longer allow its civilization to be stolen, nor its rightful water.
