The Case for Pakistan as a Civilizational State

Natural identity of Pakistan is Indo-Aryan.

No it is Indo-Iranic of which Indo-Aryan is a subgoruping.

Pashtuns, Baloch, Wakhis are Iranic peoples, which is also a subgrouping of Indo-Iranic. Calling our national identity Indo-Aryan is alienating them.
 
Historians and linguists are politically aligned. The evidence of Urdu being a camp language outweighs the notion that it was not.

Farsi - language of the Mughal Court
Urdu - language of the Mughal army

the article he linked argue otherwise. And "urdu" was a name coined by a poet in 1780s. Hardly 350 years in contrast to almost 1000 years of history of this language, beginning in late 1020s.

You are circulating myths that it's a "mixed language." It's an Indo-Aryan language that merely incorporates words from other languages, much like any other language.

It was not formed during the Mughal period.
 
it is one of the bars for historians
No it isn't. The script of a civilisation does not need to be deciphered in order to confirm the civilisational status. Plenty of confirmed civilisations existed without deciphered script.
