Yes but these two are not the only two we have.Should name missiles after mithais. Lol jk seriously though Gujranwala has killer mithai
As a Rajput from Lahori/FSD, I am very proud of my Mughal heritage and history. I feel very close to the those Muslim empires of old as they have left their footprints on this region forever. Pakistani Islamic identity was formed and strengthened by these great heroes of Islam.
When I walk in Badahahi masjid or take a stroll in Shalimar Bagh, I feel the greatness of my ancestors and their magnificience.
Because everything else is already named after Allama Iqbal and Quaid e Azam.
Also most Pakistanis are not descended from Mughals. They, more likely, have ancestors from people who were part of the Mughal apparatus just like later on they became part of the British Indian apparatus.
The only difference is that at least most Pakistanis TODAY retroactively see Mughal rule and previous Muslim rulership as being legitimate and British being illegitimate. Not saying that is an incorrect opinion to hold but we need to stop the romanticisation of our Muslim heroes. They did some bad (unislamic) things. Call a spade a spade. It won't make Pakistanis less Muslims or 'weaken' their history.
