The Vedic religion had many rituals like Agnicayana,Agnistoma,Agni hothra,Jyotishtoma,Purusha Sookta  and various others.

These rituals used to last for several days out of which Agnicayana was the longest lasting for 12 days.

These rituals included recitations of several Vedas,Upanishads and performances of severals Homams and yagnas. Many of these activities are specifically assigned to a particular clans of Brahmins.So these clans give more stress to the area of their importance and they classified themselves as rik vedis,Yajurvedis,Dwivedis,Trivedis ,Tripathi,Vajapeyis etc. when they migrated to difefferent areas they took their traditions also with them.

But irrespective of their area of specialisationsall Brahmin cvlans are able to performs small Homams and rituals and yajnas eg: Ganapathy Homa,Bhagavat Seva etc and several other rituals like Poojas & Thantras for various temple dieties.

The “Deva Bhasha”(divine language) of all Hindus are Sanskrit.There are more than 80 major languages in India.Irrespective of colocial language the language used for religious performances and studies is Sanskrit through out India.

The  common thing among the priests all over India is that they recite and learn religious rituals and performances in Sanskrit.Eve the Nambudiris of Kerala & Iyers of Tamilnadu recites & performs & Chants during religious  performances in Sanskrit.

How would Pakistani history have it's basis in India when Pakistan is the home of the Indus Vedic and other civilizations?  Imagine if Pakistan had today gone by the name India or Industan as Alice Albinia suggested. People would have a completely different view. It's sad how names influence peoples thinking

Dear balochi & pakistani shield who is trying to be nationalistic here….? You are claiming the Ownership  of a civilization & culture  which you have nothing to link with or yyou know nothing about. The vedic religion is still; existing and German Indologists like Frits Staal are visiting differet parts of India to see the age old vedic rituals being performed and it is under his initiative the “Agnicayana” (I have posted atopic earlier) was performed.

Panini didn’t invent Sanskrit.He codified it and gave a grammatical structure.And all the literatures related to Vedic had already been composed and even written down much much before Panini. The total area covered by Pakistan today is .7 million square kilometers where as the Arya varta which was the cradle of the civilization was more than 2.5 million square kilometers and all the vedic literature originated on the banks of Saraswati of course it contains land that is in present day Pakistan.  .Arya varta spanned almost all over North India.Eastern end being Bihar & western end being Indus.In North Iit included parts of modern day Tibet & Afganistan.It included present day  Haryana,Kashmir,Punjab,Himachalpradesh,Nepal,Uttarpradesh,Parts of Bihar,Madhya Pradesh,Maharashtra,Parts of Karnataka,Rajastan,Gujarat & PakistanI have posted a map of Arya varta in an earlier tread. So technically it was not confined only to the lands which is called as Present day Pakistan.

Bhrigus,Viswamitras,Angirasses,Vasishtas,Grthasamadhas,Athris,Sounakas,kanva,Goutamas,Mareechas are the priestly clans who composed the Vedas.And all these rishi families were priests of Puru especially the Bharatha clan.They belonged to different parts of  India.And Vedas are known to have been composed  at places which are presently called Haryana & Himachal pradesh.

Krishna Dwaipayana or veda vyasa meaning the summariser of Veda was known to belong to Uttar Pradesh of Modern India.Parashara who was the father of Veda vyasa belonged to Karnataka ie South India. Others vedic Rishis Vaisampayana,Yajnavalkya etc were not from what is presently Pakistan.
