Could we have some evidence other than your anonymous statement that you are the author of this article? There have already been the only two representatives of the Islamic point of view, each contradicting the other, and both full of half-baked ideas and bazaar wisdom. How do we know who is authentic and who is not? What gives us an assurance that you are who you say you are? And not yet another fan-boy donning false beard and moustache to add numbers to a losing cause?
As for your somewhat shallow objections to the objections - it may come as a surprise to you, but there can be more than opinion among a common group, and neither group claims unique and sole authenticity - unlike your warring heroes. There is one section of Indians who see Pakistanis from the catchment area of the Indus River as indigenous; another group responds not to the masses whom they know already to be indigenous, but to the loud-mouthed who claim descent from a person one generation in the seventh century, and simultaneously proclaim that they, as descendants of this figure, have been migrating to a part of the sub-continent for four hundred years - approximately 14 generations - before their putative ancestor was born. There is no attempt at beating you out of your natural heritage. The discussion is about what constitutes your heritage, and on what grounds.
But all that to visible and accountable entities, not with another mysterious person in anonymous garb.
We might just as well clarify the mistaken and misunderstood portions of your gallant effort to those Pakistanis and South Asians who think as we do, outside the chains of Slavery to a national identity.
Do you think I care Indian if you trust my word? If any of my brothers says I am not who I say I am, that I will be disturbed. Precisely what would you like to present as proof "Joe Sherer"? Shall I send you a stool sample?
Some Pakistanis are indigenous. Others are of foreign descent. Others are a mix. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM with THIS? Go worry about the dead floating bodies in the ganges. Leave us and our beautiful, clean, healthy indus.
