Found this narrative in other subs and I think it is problematic. Please read the subtext

I have been seeing these posts and videos making fun of Pakistani's for trying to claim Indus Valley and vedic heritage. Why the mockery? What is wrong with them claiming it? It is as much their heritage as it is ours. The "vedic" identity doesn't automatically associate with someone just because you are born on this side of the border. IVC is literally found in present day Pakistan,
Also, I am glad that those people are finally out of their cocoons (from thinking they are descendants from Middle East) to actually finally embracing their/ our heritage and civilisation.
Before 1947 neither separate India nor Pakistan existed, we were together, that heritage and civilisation are collectively ours.
So why this unnecessary fuss about them claiming this? What kind of weird insecurity our so called
"culturally rooted" people have that they are mocking someone for claiming what is equally theirs?
Why can't these dumb people realise that heritage and civilisation are not the same as religion?

What are your beliefs on free will?

Do you believe in complete / partial free will? What makes you believe that?

I believe in partial free will within constraints of nature. As in, that we have small degrees of freedom along different lines but a combination of all that give us the illusion of free will.
Ex- say we can customize our sandwich- we can choose 1 of 3 breads, 2 of 5 cheeses, 3 of 7 fillings. But the combination of these gives us the illusion of freedom.

Any other hypotheses anyone believes in?
