Culture in Pakistan

The discovery of the Mohenjo-Daro site is proof that the Indus civilizations were the basis of Indo-European cultures. Then influenced over time by different peoples and empires: Aryans, Persians, Ghaznavids, Seldjouks, Arabs, Rajputs, Mughals, etc.

We can also now differentiate the different cultures by the different geographical regions: Kashmir, the Hunza valley and Gilgit-Baltistan, the Chitral valley to the north, Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwas, Sind and Punjab with its capital Lahore, center of Indus culture.
