Sometimes it comes to my mind that do i really belong to a civilization which is 5000 years old? do i really belong to that civilization? My mind says no because whenever i saw the current condition of the ruins of that greatest civilization i start to weep. My heart start to mourne on the destruction of my civilization and subsquent results of that destruction.The on-going commercialism and more other "important issues" have cause the destruction of one of the oldest civilizations in the world. I.e. Indus Civilization. Once a bigger and better civilization than most of its rivals, it is now in shambles. It ruins at Mohan Jo Daro Near Larkana, Present day Pakistan give a look of a widow. A 5000 years old widow which is looking to its kids to shoulder her ageing body.

My parents used to tell me that Son it was us who taught the world how to cook on fire, how to trade, how to invent languages, how to invent accounting systems, how to sail the great seas but when i see my present i find it utterly different. Heirs of that greatest civilization are in such a miserable condition that their remaining survial is in danger. I sometimes think why not world open its eyes and force the government of my country to look after the ruins of this greatest civilization. My grand childerns would probably never find the ruins of their ancient home. World wake up.. save my identity.. save your identity..

Wow. I am so happy that the world is hearing such an interesting perspective. I get a little confused that "on-going commercialism", the world, and the "heirs" of the Indus all are to blame. Which is the strongest force?
