Istorija Pakistana obuhvata istoriju regiona koji sačinjava današnji Pakistan. Ona je isprepletena sa istorijom šireg Indijskog potkontinenta i okolnih regiona Južne Azije, Istočne Azije, Centralne Azije i Bliskog Istoka.[1] Smatra se da su anatomski moderni ljudi stigli u Pakistan pre 73 000 do 55 000 godina.[2] Naseljeni život koji uključuje prelazak sa sakupljanja na poljoprivredu i pastoralizam, počeo je u Pakistanu oko 7000. p. n. e.. Domestikacija pšenice i ječma koja je ubrzo praćena pripitomljavanjem koza, ovaca i goveda, dokumentovana je u Mergaru u Beludžistanu.[3] Do 4.500. p. n. e., naseljeni život je postao šire rasprostranjen,[3] i na kraju je evoluirao u civilizaciju doline Inda,[4] ranu civilizaciju Starog sveta koja je bila veća po kopnenoj površini od njenih savremenika Drevog Egipta i Mesopotamije zajedno.[5][6][7][8] Ona je cvetala između 2.500. p. n. e. i 1.900 godine pne sa sedištima u Harapi[9] i Mohendžo-daru,[10] usredsređena uglavnom na Centralni i Južni Pakistan.[11]

Civilizacija doline Inda bila je poznata po razvijenim novim tehnikama zanatstva, ukrasnih proizvoda, rezbarenja pečata, metalurgije, urbanističkog planiranja, kuća od pečene cigle, efikasnih drenažnih sistema, vodovodnih sistema i klastera velikih nestambenih zgrada.[12] To je bila jedna od prvih civilizacija koja je koristila prevoz na točkovima u obliku volovskih kola, a takođe je koristila i čamce.[13] Induska civilizacija je znatno zavisila od trgovine. Trgovinski putevi koji presecaju dolinu Inda i koji povezuju centralnu Aziju, Indijski potkontinent i Orijent privukli su ljude iz Grčke i Mongolije.[14] Početkom drugog milenijuma pre nove ere klimatske promene su, uz stalne suše, dovele do napuštanja urbanih središta civilizacije doline Inda. Njeno stanovništvo se preselilo u manja sela i pomešalo se sa indo-arijskim plemenima, koji su se preselila u druga područja Indijskog potkontinenta u nekoliko talasa migracije, takođe pod uticajem posledica ove klimatske promene.[15]

Istorija Pakistana za period koji je prethodio stvaranju zemlje 1947. godine[16] zajednička je sa istorijama Avganistana, Indije i Irana. Obuhvaćajući zapadni prostor Indijskog potkontinenta i istočne granice Iranske visoravni, region današnjeg Pakistana služio je i kao plodno tlo velike civilizacije i kao ulaz Južne Azije u Srednju Aziju i Bliski Istok.[17][18]

Prehistoric and protohistoric exchanges across the Hindu Kush, Karakoram, and Himalaya ranges demonstrate earlier precedents for routes through the high mountain passes and river valleys in later historical periods. Typological similarities between Northern Neolithic sites in Kashmir and Swat and sites in the Tibetan plateau and northern China show that 'Mountain chains have often integrated rather than isolated peoples.' Ties between the trading post of Shortughai in Badakhshan (northeastern Afghanistan) and the lower Indus valley provide evidence for long-distance commercial networks and 'polymorphous relations' across the Hindu Kush until c. 1800 B.C.' The Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC) may have functioned as a 'filter' for the introduction of Indo-Iranian languages to the northwestern Indian subcontinent, although routes and chronologies remain hypothetical.

These three trade-routes, which carried the bulk of the traffic passing by land between India and Central and Western Asia, played an all-important part in the history of Taxila. (page 1)"
