Pakistan lies in the North Western piece of South Asia. It is circumscribed by China in the North, Afghanistan in the North-West, Iran in South-West, Arabian Sea and Indian Sea in the South and India in the East. Pakistan, as apparent, is situated at the intersection of South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East making it a simple connecting point between Central Asia and South Asia.

There have been critical migration developments, in the territories now constituting Pakistan since pre-noteworthy times. The general population of Pakistan are relatives of various racial gatherings and sub-racial stocks, who entered the subcontinent in the course of recent years, predominantly from focal and western Asia every now and then. However not at all like the well known confusion, it generally kept up its character and distinction isolate from its neighbor India who asserted that Pakistan was a piece of Aakhand Bharat (Undivided India) on the premise of history. Thus its parcel from India is absolutely unjustified. Be that as it may, a huge number of years of history of the sub-landmass recounts an alternate story. It lets us know that the ranges called Pakistan today had reliably stayed as a solitary, minimized and a different topographical and political element since old times.

Few individuals would know about the genuine history of Pakistan still; few would realize that the most established stone apparatus on the planet, going back to 2.2 million years was found at Rabat, around fifteen miles far from Rawalpindi and the biggest hand Ax was found in the Soan Valley. What's more, to top it all, the site of the initially settled life on the planet going back to the eighth thousand years BC has been found at Mehergarh in the Sibi regions of Balochistan. In spite of the fact that Pakistan, as a free nation dates just from August fourteenth, 1947 and the country itself can follow its beginnings just to a couple of hundreds of years prior, yet the regions of Pakistan are beneficiary to one of the wealthiest and the most established developments and settlements of the world.

Indus Valley Civilization

The Indus Valley Civilization or the Harappan Civilization[i] is a standout amongst the most interesting and the most seasoned civic establishments ever known. It prospered somewhere around 3000 and 1500 BC by the banks of River Indus or Sind in Pakistan. This human progress existed along the Indus River in present day Pakistan with its fundamental focuses at Mohenjodaro in Sind, Harappa in the Punjab, Kej in the Baluch domain and Judeiro Daro in the Pathan area. It is for the most part trusted that the occupants of Indus Valley Civilization were Dravidians who came to sub-mainland from eastern Mediterranean.

This progress achieved its peak around the two metropolitan focuses of Mohenjodaro and Harappa. These urban communities are outstanding for their great, sorted out and standard design. They were the focuses of expressions and specialties. As per John Marshal, the Harappan individuals were educated and utilized the Dravidian dialect [ii] which is one of the world's first known dialects. Their central occupation was agribusiness and exchange. The progress is outstanding for its solid focal government, sense for workmanship and engineering and house arranging.

Surge is thought to be the destroyer of this culture because of which agribusiness got disturbed and exchange courses influenced which drove larger part of the populace to move to other prolific grounds. The individuals who were deserted succumbed to the Aryan intrusion. The human progress went on for fifteen hundred years.

Landing of the Aryans

In around 1700 BC, Indus Valley individuals saw the landing of new stallion riding wanderers from Central Asia prompting to the possible decay of their prosperous and complex Indus Civilization. The Aryans came in no less than two noteworthy waves in Pakistan. The principal wave came around 2000 BC and the second wave came no less than six centuries later. It was after the second influx of Aryans intrusion that they got to be predominant and their dialect spread over the whole length and broadness of the district. They entered through the Swat Valley from the northwest mountain passes and pushed the neighborhood individuals or the Dravidians (the general population of Indus Civilization) southwards or towards the wildernesses and mountains in north. They settled first in Punjab and Indus Valley and afterward spread eastbound and southward. Dissimilar to Indus individuals Aryans were unrefined race. Their religious writings and human remains propose that the Aryans were savage in their intrusions. They executed the tenants and blazed their urban areas. A comparative view was opined by Stuart Piggot in his book Pre-notable India:

"The Aryan approach was in actuality the landing of savages into an area as of now profoundly composed into a domain in light of a since quite a while ago settled custom of proficient urban culture".

Other than being strong contenders Aryans were likewise talented ranchers and experts. They were the admirers of nature and their religious books were called Vedas. Aryans were tall, well-manufactured and; had appealing elements and reasonable appearance while the occupants of Indus Valley were dark, level nosed and of short stature. The Indus individuals submitted to the prevalent Aryans and turned into their slaves. This reality later turned into the premise of Caste framework all together of predominance, for example, Brahmans (minister) Kashatryas (warriors) and Vaisyas (business group and average people). The Dravidians were set in fourth and named as Sudras (slaves).

Persian Empire

In the sixth century BC, Darius attacked Pakistan and made the Indus plain and Gandhara a portion of his Persian Empire of the Achaemenid, with his capital at Persepolis in Iran. It was from that point onwards that the city of Taxila started to develop and the district saw the ascent of another incredible progress called the Gandhara Civilization covering the majority of the northern Pakistan with capitals at both Pushkalavati (Charsadda) and Takshka-sila (Taxila).
