Right, but that was because Mappla Muslims were siding against their fellow Muslims by helping the British colonials. So obviously they will be attacked, that action made them Munafiqeen.
I don't claim IVC exclusively, people who come from the parts of Hindustan that are also part of the Indus Valley can claim it too, as well as and Indo-Aryans in eastern Afghanistan, but that's it. Beyond that the link becomes pretty weak or non-existent. However, the civilisation is primarily Pakistani because it started in and was centred around modern day Pakistan, with most of its people also being from modern day Pakistan.
I don't disown the parts of the Vedic era that relate to modern day Pakistan, e.g Porus, Panini, Gandhara, etc. They are part of our pre-Islamic past and yes I do value them. I just value my Islamic history more because I am a Muslim first and foremost in terms of identity, as are many other Pakistanis and Muslims in general.
Muhammad Bin Qasim's exploits are the exploits of Muslims first and foremost, and Arabs secondarily. You could however still argue that they do belong to Pakistanis as well from an ethnic standpoint since many people from modern day Pakistan fought in his army, and many Pakistanis do have ancestry from people who migrated to the area during the Islamic conquests.
I agree, we are all mixed. Tell that to the Hindustanis who deny the Aryan migrations.
I also agree with your last paragraph.
Right, but Tipu's grandfather was Punjabi. Punjabis are the largest ethnic group in Pakistan. He was also Muslim, again, like most Pakistanis.
