Life-size sculpture of Ranjit Singh to be unveiled at Lahore Fort

Nobody heroises Nader Shah lol, why do people keep lumping him in with the others?

As for Abdali, we can't just ignore the heroes of our second largest ethnic group.

Babur founded what would become the largest Muslim empire in India, which has influenced our culture greatly (dare I say it, of all pre-1947 entities, the Mughal Empire was the most similar to modern day Pakistan in terms of culture), and whilst his lineage may have started as foreign (although, I would argue that being a Persianised Turco-Mongol means he is related to our Hazara population), it did end up assimilating into the region. His army also consisted of many locals who assisted him, e.g Sarang Khan was a Punjabi who earned the title of "Sultan" for fighting with him. His very own autobiography even speaks of the Yousefzai, Gujjars, Jats and Gakhars that assisted him in his campaigns.

And you have to understand, without these Muslim rulers, Pakistan wouldn't exist today. These rulers spread Islam throughout the region, if they had not done so, there wouldn't be a Pakistan today (as our nation split because of Islam).

abdali was hero for pathans and i respect tha but not the hero for punjabis

babur fight agianst muslim ruler so where was the concept of muslim ummah and brotherhood

By that point, the Lodis were considered oppressive and incompetent. The governor of Punjab (who himself was a Lodi) called Babur to overthrow them, Babur didn't just decide to invade Hind.

Waris Shah said that. Not Baba Bulleh Shah.

Well, he had Punjabis in his army (most notably Muqarrab Khan) so I don't know why you would hate him.

thats the point all are corrupt and equally no one is better. islam in subcontinent is due to sufis and saints. all rulers were beasts

Well, he had Punjabis in his army (most notably Muqarrab Khan) so I don't know why you would hate him.

why should i like because he has some punjabi generals. brother they all just plundered and looted the public. i dnt rate any ruler in sub continent

Without Ahmad Shah Abdali, Pakistan would never have been made and the Sikh empire would have eventually changed the demographics of the region by force.

Yes!!!! Exactly!!!
People here keep barking against Abdali. Nobody is perfect. In history there are only few generals who were merciful towards their enemies e.g. Salah ud Deen.

But these idiots conveniently forget Pakistan has named its missiles after Ghori, Ghaznavi and Abdali.
Liberals can jump into Ganga with Gangadeshis if they don't like our heroes.

[Maxpane]

[B.K.N]

related to our Hazara population

He is not realated to hazaras he was related to hamayon and his grandsons only
You can say thet he belonged to same ethnic group which are hazaras and not hazaras are related to him both are different things
and those people who came with him from Central Asia never returned back so you can say their descendents are living in India or Pakistan but these hazaras are not related to him in anyway except for being from same race
