ABP India Summit 2023: Javed Akhtar Saw "No Visible Poverty" in Lahore, Pakistan

There were plenty of people from Central Asia who were coming to Northwest India and Delhi to make a name for themselves before the Mongol invasions as well as post Mongol invasions. He could easily have been one of those unknown people.

Even if he was carried to the throne by Khokhars, it doesn't in anyway prove that he was a Khokhar. As I have previously mentioned, Rajputs had a strong influence on who will come on the Mughal throne. Sons of Mughals used to vie Rajput rulers to get their support for the throne.

I have no idea why Amir Khusrow wrote in Punjabi to honor his victory but I'm pretty sure that there will be plenty of Persian accounts of him as well.
No, many non-Muslim empires had their own local court language. The court language of Vijaynagara empire for instance, was Kannada and Telugu. The court language of the Maratha empire was Marathi while that of the Ahom empire was Ahom. Non-Muslims tended to be more rooted to their land and proud about their own culture and language which continues to present day.

Assumptions. I would have agreed if you gave me a good source.

Take, for example, the Mughals. They are pretty clear where they came from. It's the same with the Rajputs, the Marathas, the rulers of the Vijaynagar empire. Hence, we are pretty sure about who the founding ruler was. However, with lack of evidence, and considering those times (13th-14th century), it is highly unlikely that the Turks and Persians would have allowed a Hind Muslim on the Delhi throne. The Delhi Sultanate were either fighting other Muslim kings of non-Indian origin or non-Muslim kings of Indian origin. Indian Muslims didn't have a great track record of forming their own empire.

Let's end it here. You are beating a dead horse.
Didn't read all of it but
Yaar ab Mera mood hii khatam ho gaya hai 🤦‍♂️

Itne mahino baad ab kyaa debate karen? -lets agree to disagree and move on
 
Anyone visiting Lahore city will be impessed by how well kept the city is, and how green and clean too.

I was also impressed when visited the first time, the colonial, mughal, modern, older architecture makes it a worthwile city.
