This is the story of the Indian subcontinent told through the treasures of three very different people, places and dynasties that have shaped the modern Indian world.
All too often, Pakistan is portrayed as a country of bombs, beards and burkhas. The view of it as a monolithic Muslim state is even embodied in the name of the country, 'the Islamic Republic of Pakistan'.
Yet, as Sona Datta shows, it used to be the meeting point for many different faiths from around the world and has an intriguing multicultural past - a past about which it is to some extent in denial. It also produced some extraordinary and little-known works of art which Sona, from her work as a curator at the British Museum, explores and explains.

India ❤ Pakistan
Its Pakistani history. You can love your Cholas 😂
Pakistan is so beautiful, you don't know what you're missing....breath of fresh air and the paradise on earth...I was born there and nothing else can match this anywhere on earth...really I say...especially azad jumma Kashmir...land of paradise on top of the world...
I lived in Nowshera and peshawar for a year... wouldn't change it for nothing.
Beautiful - visually stunning, and such great, accessible information on a history that I am glad to learn; what a wonderful and storied land. The narrator is marvellous, very articulate, eloquent and gracious - Thank you for this.
Beautiful and wonderful. Thanks for this.
Thank you too! :)
Absolutely amazing! This documentary clearly shows how the center point of entire subcontinent is Pakistan. Hinduism emerged from there and so did Sikhism centuries later.
Sad that Pakistanis want to completely dissociate themselves of the cultures that were originally created from these lands. When you forget your roots, you get lost.
@@rishiarien I agree. Sadly a land that defined the cultures of the entire subcontinent has been diverted from its true purpose. It once glowed of spirituality but unfortunately is totally opposite now
@@rishiarien That is not true, Im Muslim, Pakistani, Punjabi from the Bhatti Rajpooth Jatt Gujral clan. We very well know who we were and what we are because becoming Muslim does not mean loosing your identity, we know our identity and do not believe we are Arabs, we are one with faith and our culture, asy Punjabi ya.
@@muhammedalisuleman1731 Good to hear that and Respect for you.
@@anilrohilla4379 We know exactly who we are. I am a Jatt from the Kalyal clan. We respect our history, love our land and hold our dear religion, Islam in the highest esteem.
I actually loved this documentary. I have never seen this woman before and never seen anyone discuss Pakistan in this way. Thanks.
A very eloquent narration of the history of this sub-continent. Her origins must also have helped her to relate with the culture and art that prevailed in these parts from times almost forgotten.
Thankyou for Your Comment . Do Subscribe this Channel .
Nice choice of background music Fault Lines by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
World class - visually stunning, and such great, accessible information on indus civilisation and subcontinent history. I have visited all Pak museums from khi, taxila, peshawar and swat. I am glad to learn and imagine; what a wonderful and storied land. Dr datta is marvellous, very articulate, eloquent and gracious - Thank you for this wonderful work despite odds.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I saw Harappan ruins so closely in this documentary. Thank you. Most surprising thing was the Ring of King Porous. Thanks to your channel and Fakir Khana Museum.
Fakir khana museum is personal and have vast collection but one may not authenticate them then what is present in museum. It can be fake or belong to anyone else. As digging up any land in Pakistan would bring up coins and metal stuff. It cannot be so confirmed
Why do we insist on calling him Porus? His real name was Purushottama, a Puru king.
A very balanced depection of moderen day Pakistan's struggles with it's past. Societies are not stagnent but always evolving. Hope Pakistan will evolve for something better, more inline with it's past ancient glory.
The treasures of the Indus is one of the most things in history and investigating the places in other regions. The video that I watched is that there are sculpture paintings and people working for money, many people make paintings like sculptures to have skill and knowledge to their developments and wanted them to improve self confident to themselves just like us drawing ang painting with knowledge and development with self confident because its all about creativity, But we also make money by doing jobs like work and other stuff and visiting different places like in this video. Arts is creative and wanting people to know experiences about nature and life so that we could develop our minds and skills in life and different regions or countries.
Thank you
Indus vallu civilisation aswellas hindu culture more unique in the world history.
BBC 📺 Magnificent the BBC 🙏 🙇
🌹 Very informative & massive credit to the lady presenter for hard work & research.
Well done 👏 lady presenter
Well said!
Dr Sona Datta thank you for your amazing documentary. India is an eye opening subcontinent to the world.
It would be a historic moment in history if you investigate the time and the relationship between the Indus and the Bactrian Buddhist history. The Bactrian's are called Hazara today in Afghanistan. You know they had Buddhism and Zoroastrain religion before Islam and Persian is their language. There is connections between the Indian language and the Bactrian's Persian as we called original Parsi not the new version Iranian farsi. It's also very important to understand that the majorities of Hazara and the Afghan can speak Hindi but the Iranian has no clue because farsi is not as old as Parsi. We can see the difference the Indian language has been mixed with Parsi during our Buddha time.
I wonder if there are any seals of the unicorn that are not from the profile stance? I only say this because it doesn't look like a unicorn to me it looks like an ibex from the side. Hopefully that isn't the only pictures that they have to back up this idea. It doesn't bother me in the slightest if it is an Indian thing or not I just want to make sure they have it right.
A wonderful show... Especially liked the bit about Harappa (I will assign it to my students to watch). Thanks for the great job on this.
Awesome, thank you! Hey Ask your students to subscribe this Channel . There will be more informative content coming on this channel.
Thank you to everyone at Journeys.
Incredible footage and one of the very best videos I have seen this year anywhere worldwide.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very thought-provoking. Grateful for such a contribution. 🙏
Thanks for being highlighted my Sindh
Rakhal Das Bandyopadhyay, M.S Vats, K.N Dikshit should have been credited very prominently in this documentary.
From wikipedia, about Rakhal Das Bandyopadhyay and quoted by Marshall in parts ---
Rakhal Das Banerji, also Rakhaldas Bandyopadhyay (12 April 1885 - 23 May 1930), was an Indian archaeologist and an officer of the Archeological Survey of India (ASI). In 1919, he became the second ASI officer deputed to survey the site of Mohenjo-daro by Sir John Marshall, director-general of the ASI, and returned there in the 1922-23 season. He was the first person to propose the remote antiquity of the site-which he did in a letter to Marshall in 1923-and in effect of the Harappan culture. After leaving the ASI, he held the Manindra Chandra Nandy professorship of Ancient Indian History and Culture at the Banaras Hindu University from 1928 until his premature death in 1930.
In 1931, in the introduction of Mohenjo-daro and the Indus Civilization, London: Arthur Probsthain, 1931, Sir John Marshall wrote, "Three other scholars whose names I cannot pass over in silence, are the late Mr. R. D. Banerji, to whom belongs the credit of having discovered, if not Mohenjo-daro itself, at any rate its high antiquity, and his immediate successors in the task of excavation, Messrs. M.S. Vats and K.N. Dikshit. ... no one probably except myself can fully appreciate the difficulties and hardships which they had to face in the three first seasons at Mohenjo-daro."
Thanks Sudipto for Enlightening us.
I love this series ! It's open my eyes so much . The presenter is so good . I hope the lady does more series .
Pakistan is birthplace of India. Because India came from word Sindhu, the Indus. Pakistan is actually cradle of ancient and magnificent Indus valley civilization i call Pakistan, Sindhustan after river indus
OK
Hi JOURNEYS, thank you for uploading these series. I absolutely love Railroad Journeys by Michael Portillo. Any chance you will be uploading 'American Railroad Journeys' soon? :)
Hello Thanks for writing this . There are many rail journeys like American one which can't be uploaded here due Restrictions . Help yourself and checkout this page facebook.com/sinha47. & Enjoy Railroad Journeys by Michael 🙂.
@@JOURNEYS7 Thank you Michael!
Modern Hindus should be proud. Well planned cities, plumbing , proper housing etc
You delivered a nice show I must say! AI technology could furnish those abandoned palaces, rooms and courtyards with things from that era...imagine watching akbars court in virtual historical perspective on computer screen first...at least.👍dr Dutta is excellent in speech and manner.✋
I couldn't disagree more! I hate it when documentaries use acted reconstructions( usually extremely poor quality) or animated scenes. Can we not imagine for ourselves the description being narrated? It's distracting for those who can and discouraging those who wouldn't bother without some encouragement. Let's keep aiming high, there's so little aspirational, high brow programme making left already.
Little you know! Pakistan is not younger country than India. Pakistan is new name given to the ancient Indus Valley: Sindh&Punjab, actually mother of India!
It was cow-worshipers left
left Indus Valley and inhabited their Bharat on Ganges!
Lately also whole of the subcontinent used to be called as Sindh & Hind up to British occupied it.
It's British spoilt history. India was name given to Indus Valley, not Bharat by Greeks. They never visited Bharat at all!
Indus valley civilization belong to our kaffir community. A true muslim will never claim it . Kindly become true muslim. We are proud kaffirs with our glorious kaffir civilization that is Harappa.

Hope you enjoyed it!
@@JOURNEYS7 Sure I did and I am from India.
Great to know that .. Happy to see People from my country are also the viewers .
Ancient Pakistan*
I absolutely love this documentary of Pakistan that shows a glimpse of its vast identity and cultural aesthetic.
I always admired Pakistan and it's civilizations from your far neighbor of the west
Iraq 🇮🇶 the land of Mesopotamia, Babylon and Sumer.
Indus has alwayd traded with mesopotamia. Both are earliest of the nations
We have had old cultural, commercial, maritime and land trade ties with Mesopotamia. There are ancient Mesopotamian mentions our land which was known to the Mesopotamian as Melluha. They mentioned the ships of Melluha docking in their ports with Timber, Ivory and Carnelian. Melluha meant the high/esteemed country in ancient Sumerian. Archaeologists after analysing bricks in the oldest parts of Mesopotamia found the bricks were baked from the soil of todays Sindh, Pakistan. The settlers in occupied Palestine just a few weeks ago found four thousand year old cotton clothing, after analysing they found it came from Sindh. We have had ancient ties with the region in particular Mesopotamia but it’s a shame that our civilisation was only rediscovered very recently and it’s script has not yet been deciphered. Once it’s script has been deciphered we will have a better understand of not only our land and history but also the history of the world and the first civilisations.
👌👌
WTF are they showing The Dancing Girl statue in Pakistan section? It's displayed in National Museum Delhi India.
Pakistan has a very bright future
Excellent, thx
Pakistan zindabad and my love and pride and joy.i live one hour from Moen Jo dero and have seen Indus river from skaru to Sea

Was not expecting Wonderwall
Outstanding video.
Ancient Pakistan great👍
Simply great
Hope Pakistan protects these from fundamentalists now.We know what they did at Bamiyam. Pakistan is no different from Afghanistan these days.
Just shut up!
Correction-India and Pakistan were born together 70 years ago.
I was looking for more videos from your Australian journey and you were here in Pakistan🤠
Thanks for this special one😍
Reminds me of Betthany Huges

What is the history of modern Pakistan ? Indus valley civilization which has the swastika in the alphabet.
Your whole religion and name of country came from Pakistan.
Its not a Unicorn, its an Ox or (Zebu) from a side angle, so you don't see both horns.
It’s nonsensical to say that Pakistan is a much younger country than India. Both countries are 75 years old. Prior to that was the age of the empires that rules over this region. The people of Pakistan have been living in this region for centuries and are way more likely to be the direct descendants of the people of the Indus Valley civilisation than someone living in utter Pradesh or bihar or any of the areas comprising the modern Indian state
👏😍❤️💐🇵🇭
Spiritual significance of bull/unicorn because it appears over and over again? How DO we make such leaps of assumptions? 5000 years from now, they'll probably find images of Mahatma Gandhi over and over again, on all those coins....spiritual significance? I doubt if any person dealing in greens Gandhis in this day and age is considering him of any spiritual significance
i wonder how historians came to the conclusion that it's a unicorn... it has the body of a bull, and the one horn is probably just because they're only showing the side profile, there's no need to show the other one. That's how I as a kid drew bulls, before I tried to represent them with more depth
monotheism. zealotry. the nation-state.
individually dangerous.
in combination, deadly.
This is a highly orientalist documentary narrated by an out-of-touch diaspora person.
😢 no Buddhism in present Taxila.
😇🥰
She forget to mention Veda was reveals in Indus Valley banks.
It looks like some of that fruit has been sitting out since Alexander went through.
Unexpectedly and unfairly you avoided mentioning that it was Hinduism revival that caused demise of Buddhist civilization in the region.
You have to watch episodes 2 and 3 to get to the bits where she covers that
The invading Islamic armies didn't help Hindu or Buddhists people. They were shown the true teachings of surah 9 text 29.
The word Industry and it's origins ? Sewage systems were invented thousands of years ago, and many researches claim Indus valley civilization goes back to 10000 years even 40000. KJ I have seen the world on my bucket list including India, what about Pakistan. Alexander the Great Sikander e Azam died here and his horse was called Jhelum.

This woman should know that Pakistan is not a younger country than India. In fact, in the world, India is the Latin word for the Indus Valley. A valley that is situated only in Pakistan means that throughout history, the word India was attributed to the lands that are called Paksitan today, not Bharat, but of course Hindutwa goons would eat this poor British lady alive if she had spoken truth.
Does she go to Varanasi ?
Yang kirim Vidio ini...Imran Khan........?..no...Tidak....saya tidak mau membangun mesjid.....thank you Yang Mulia......
If Muslims had a problem with these statues and sculptures they wouldn't survive and be eliminated by now. As a matter of fact, Pakistan hosts the biggest number of Buddha sculptures and other historic artifacts and statues which indicates people of Pakistan are proud of their ancestors and know how to keep their history alive. You guys come here and make documentaries yet can't stop equating the local population as some kind of monsters who are hell bent on destroying ancient artifacts. You tell me which other country has been able to preserve their 5000 year old past so carefully? Come out of your stupid biases and stereotypes and learn to respect the locals.
Jokir Naik and I.S are not happy with YOU.
Why is Mickey Mouse on the Pakistani flag at Harappa train station?
Water of Indus historically feeding Sindh is being jailed in KPK in Terbella and now in Dasu Basha to convert nomads into settlers!
KPK was carved out of Punjab by Queen Victoria in 1901, to entertain her central asian soldiers in Royal Indian Army.
These are war crimes may be challenged in Haugh.
Kpk has nothing to do with punjab
The “Coolies?” I hope you know that’s a derogatory term, same as the “N” word.
Gangetic Dravidian lindus are indian not indus valley
Why do these modern archeologists like to make a fool of the laymen with their stupid ideologies? The 'Unicorn' is clearly an Ox with two magnificent horns showed in 2D, just like Egyptian art.
The Rapa Nui vanished because they were stupid enough to cut all the treess and finish all crops, being the advanced civilization they were, and not swept away by a great tsunami?
The younger dryess came to an end by by an asteroid or the change in magnetic fields, but not by a simple explanation of bubbling volcanos underneath?
The Dinosaurs were possibly wiped out, once again, by meteors or some other reason, but they will never give a simple explanation that they could have drowned in the great flood, since they were not used to swimming perhaps? their fossils are found in the mud after all!
They give you some knowledge but distract you right at the edge.
You got Knowledge !
@@JOURNEYS7 thanks
An expected amount of cultural marxism to stay woke.
Well, it seems she does not like Alexander the great one bit, very unprofessional depiction of him.🤣
We Hindus look upon Alexander The Macedonian as a joke figure, a fool.
Alexander was barbaric murder, The Indians had turned his ass red by beating him, that is why he went back from Saindhu😂😂
Hindustan not India , get it correct !! The land of are for - father's and Mother's
India is the 'Anglicized' form referring to the people who originated from the Indus valley. There is no need to politicize what is a clearly a documentary appreciating an ancient culture that would have referred to themselves as something totally unknown to us. The Indus and hence India comes to us from that the Greeks referred to the land and its people.
Indus Valley in Pakistan ❤
Indus Valley Civilization is the history of the Pakistani people 🇵🇰 Tehzib e Sindh !!
Pakistan has destroyed all the real tehzeeb of indus Valley and imposed forcefully the outside Islamic culture so don't try to be too great. From an

Did she say “coolies”? 2:46… it is a racist term that should be scrubbed out of our vocabulary
Sorry but History of Lahore is incomplete and wrong.
how so?
such a shame dark people would rather worship white then their own race. Why so ashamed? India was glorious for thousands of years before a white ever stepped on the land. budda was a dark man. yet, you change his form and image to a white man and give praise to whites ruining India heritage.
The skin caste system in India is thousands of years older than Britain or European colonialism. British people were still clapping sticks together and living in moss while the Indus was a civilization.
@@leviginsberg3022 the original Caste system was about spiritualism not skin color. the more spiritual one was the closer to having your robes washed white you were. then it was used to dictate a person's status when it came to wealth. then it was used by european whites to determine the hierarchy of people meaning whites were on top and blacks on bottom. which is stupid because every bit of wisdom or knowledge can

I wanted to watch this, but I just couldn't stand the pretentious accent of Dr Sona Datta. And she calling workers coolies. It's a disgrace.
