This coin from Ujjain region dated to 200 BCE depicts polycephalic Shiva seated in the exact same posture as seen in the Indus seals.
Civilizational continuity indeed.
Proto-Elamite?
The Pashupati seal has an elephant, a water buffalo and a rhinoceros. Ancient Elam was centred in southwestern Iran. Elephants, water buffalos and rhinoceroses are not native to ancient Elam. BTW, they are native to India. Also, the figure is seated in a Yogic posture. Is Yoga also Elamite now? Seriously?
Your profile says you are a professor. I don't mean to sound rude, but your students deserve a refund. And seriously, Western universities need to improve their hiring practices.
Pakis are so jealous of Iranians because they wish they were 1% of us. Pakistan has no culture, no history, no empires. Pakistan’s own anthem is in Persian because Urdu is a copy and paste of any Indian language. Pakistan will only be know as India’s bitch. The only other nation worse than Pakistan is Bangladesh, because those retards chose to be Pakistan’s bitch out of all countries.
2009 I was in Dubai for 2 weeks for work. Bakri Eid fell in the same period.
Slaughters happened in closed environs and not in public view. Cows were not slaughtered.
These practices were made Islamic culture only in Indian sub-continent to hurt Hindus. Practice must stop.
Imagine a country that has been partitioned by Muslims by orchestrating mass killings, rapes and looting. Yet their population keeps rising in that very country.
Yet, bigoted muslim women, masquerading as journalists keep bad mouthing that country.
This is going to hurt Turkey very much. For years they have supported Pakistan unnecessarily on Kashmir issue.
Now India is backing the united Cyprus to throw out Turkey from the occupied territory.

I’m genuinely not trying to insult anyone here, but I find it so fascinating that monotheists describe polytheists as immoral for worshipping false, "man-made gods" when we are the ones who encoded reverence for the Divine in all its manifestations (the sun, the moon, the earth, the oceans, etc.) and they are the ones who follow the word of a human prophet who told them who the one true god is. Also, we don’t go around telling them their beliefs are false or sit around talking about it, either. We just do us.
