This thought was with me for quite some time and I guess this would be the right forum to discuss it. Mod please help in case this thread ought to be posted to some other forum.
So my questions is that why are Pak missiles named after foreign invaders?
I do know that Shaheen and Hatf aren't names of invaders but weren't Abdali, Ghauri, Ghaznavi and Babur names of foreign invaders who swept down the plains of the Indian subcontinent through the Khyber pass?
We may also take Babur separately since he was the only one who stayed and created a dynasty instead of running away with the loot.
Is it that the Pakistani society and establishment so obsessed with India that they forgot that these invaders didnt spare people based on their faith. Hindu or Muslim, anyone who came in their path had to pay the price.
And the most overlooked part is that the area/geography that they pillaged included the present day Pakistan as well! They began with the Indus basin/the greater Punjab, Kashmir and followed uptill Gujarat, Bengal and the Deccan. Did Pak rulers forget history or were they never told that Pakistan was once a part of India?
