Did the Saudi Arabian Land Forces Chief get a GRAND military parade from the Indian army?

For me the picture exposes two truths -
- That Hindu India has such a inferiorty complex borne out of 1,000 years of invasions from the northwest by Pakhtuns, Turks, Persians and now carry that burning burden of rape, conquest and destructon. The one military victory achieved by riding the Banglas in 1971 against a small force in siege and two thousand miles from home base is used to exorcise the beast of defeat in their hearts. You use this event 50 years like the greatest fight since the Spartans fought to glorious deaths. When the reality was what happened was a foregone conclusion. That image just shows the childishness and complex riden India.
- I mean do Russians tout at every turn the defeat of the mighty Werhmacht when they took 5 million prisoners and destroyed Berlin? Or do Americans tout the destruction of the 10 million Imperial Japanese Army in WW2 with suurender signedd the living god - Emperor Hirohito?
- The second point it exposes is the how punch drunk or addict the Pakistan population is with deadly coctail of religion and myth. How would Arabs take if the Pakistani COAS made a visit to Jerusalem and stood clasping hands of Israeli Chief of Staff with huge picture of defeated Arabs signing away West Bank or the An-Naqab [Negev]?
Well this is exactly the same analogy but Pakistani's because of the aforementioned addiction will ply all sort apologetic excuses.
*sigh*

I hope you will also agree that such symbolism is not unique to Indians, even if we are sampling only the sub-continent. Pakistan's naming of missiles on foreign invaders is seen by Indians as a similar exercise and these conquerors were not even sons of Indus.
Sipra sahab, for me the definition of invader is very simple - A person or group of persons who forcibly take your land / wealth and to whom the laws of your land fail to apply. Perhaps you meant to ask who I consider a 'foreigner'?Sir Jee: How do you define so-called "invader"?

Then, according to your definition, almost all of the medieval rulers, belonging to any religion, region, area, or ethnicity, in this Subcontinent, were "invaders"; but you, in your original post, according to my understanding, only particularly referred to Muslim rulers.
As for "son of soil", again this attribute is very relative and vague; and no successful medieval ruler, who ruled over large tracts of land, qualifies this attribute.
Yes, invaders could be of any religion. In my original post, the scope gets restricted to Muslim invaders because I was specifically talking about naming of missiles. Son of the soil claim is as contentious as it can get, but there has been an unmistakable pattern in naming missiles in Pakistan (at least in the past) and its origins lie in symbolism - What they mean for Pakistan and also what they mean for Indians. I am sure Pakistan has heroes more proximal in history and culture after whom weapons could be named, but it chooses to go back to a particular set of people.
Maratha invasions are called invasions. They massacred lots of Hindus which I think is ideologically suppressed in the popular Hindu psyche.But, unfortunately, this term of "invaders" is only used for Muslim rulers, by elite Hindus
