A series of articles: 8 Parts are uploaded so far

The politics of divisions and the interest groups along with in-depth analysis of International & national politics. What happened with Land of Five Rivers that was mentioned not only in ancient texts like Ramayan, Mahabharta etc but from Megasthenes to Arrian it was called Pentapotamia. It's antiquity is well defined in history from Pre-harappan times and along with Gandhara, Mohanjodharo, Kot Deji, you may find its civilization too. History of five Doabs and its surroundings is well documented in old text like Indika of Megasthenes, Ramayan, Mahabharth, AlHind of Alberuni, Firdosi too.

But why this land is under target since 1809?
Why it faced divisions in 1809, 1846-49, 1901, 1947 & 1966? Why its main port in deep sea, linked with lion rivers, The Lhori Bandar was either burnt or closed by different European powers? Why our historians are still silent on river channel trade and its links with sea route? How our trade destroyed after Garrison Project? Today it is divided between Kashmir, Sindh, Khyber PK, Baluchistan, Gilgit Baltista, Afghanistan but in past it was home of huge trade. The policy of divide & rule altogether changed it under the mantras of religion & nationalisms. Are we ready to revisit it for once?
