Why do Indians dislike Pakistani attachment to Muhammad Bin Qasim?

[Apprentice]

As we are Muslim first we are of course going to identify with Bin Qasim. But many Indians are still confused as to how we celebrate his victory even though our ancestors were 'Hindus'.

Its not just Pakistanis Indians have this problem with. I remember a Kashmiri Facebook page where Kashmiris celebrated Muhammad Bin Qasim as their hero and Indians were outraged.

So make your choice. Who is your hero?

our ancestors were not Hindus, Hinduism played a lesser role in the history of Pakistan and its history compared to other faiths. in fact I dare say even Hindus do not know where they begin and where they end.

however I would say despite that raja Dahir should be acknowledged as a son of the soil irrespective of creed, as well as ranjeet Singh. Pakistan has a rich and diverse history.

Pakistan is for all Pakistanis if Pakistani Hindus want to celebrate raja Dahir then great, if those ancestors with syed background want to acknowledge bin qasim fine. Pathans with ghauri/durrani, mirza/chughtais/baigs with Mughal empire. jats with scythians or Huns I don't have a problem with that....

Both. It's like asking the British "who is your hero? William the Conqueror or Harold at Battle of Hastings. Both played a role in making of British history. Ditto MB-Qasim and R-Dahir.

dont worry about insecure Indians because they will never be happy in boht cases. many Pakistani who call themselves jats/Raputs/gujjars etc aka from hindu ancestry...Indian call them fake and when they feel for Muslim and has emotional attachment with their religion Islam then they give them label of arab . They dont realize that Race/culture and religion are two different thing . Followers of Islam come from different cultures and races

Wrong. Pakistan was based on two nation theory. According to which each nation had different heroes. Here is what Quaid e Azam said:

''It is extremely difficult to appreciate why our Hindu friends fail to understand the real nature of Islam and Hinduism. They are not religions in the strict sense of the word, but are, in fact, different and distinct social orders, and it is a dream that the Hindus and Muslims can ever evolve a common nationality, and this misconception of one Indian nation has troubles and will lead India to destruction if we fail to revise our notions in time. The Hindus and Muslims belong to two different religious philosophies, social customs, litterateurs. They neither intermarry nor interdine together and, indeed, they belong to two different civilizations which are based mainly on conflicting ideas and conceptions. Their aspect on life and of life are different. It is quite clear that Hindus and Mussalmans (Muslims) derive their inspiration from different sources of history. They have different epics, different heroes, and different episodes. Very often the hero of one is a foe of the other and, likewise, their victories and defeats overlap. To yoke together two such nations under a single state, one as a numerical minority and the other as a majority, must lead to growing discontent and final destruction of any fabric that may be so built for the government of such a state.''

I believe its the enemies of Pakistan and two nation ttheory as well as enemies of Muslims who would want to identify with Raja Dahir.

@Apprentice In case you suffer from amnesia or missed your history lesson "Two Nation Theory" died in 1971. Now it is "Three Nation Theory".

In that case you should go to Bangladesh if you believe Bengalis are the 3rd nation. Pakistan is for those who believe in the exclusively Muslim nation.

NO Sir! the two nation theory is a live, because the Bengali were not convert in Hinduism again in 1971 but they made a separate country for their selves.The two nation theory was made for Hindu nation and Muslim nation, Not for Indian nation and Pakistani nation.

How funny is it, the orginal post talks about how confuse the hindus are , but in this thread so far, i see the confusion among the pakistani about their true identity..Please iron out your differences first before opening these kind of silly thread and then fighting among yourself.

 

[barbarosa]

Honest question to pakistanis , do you really believe you guys r from arab ancestry, as per my knowledge sindhis,punjabis, pathans all r no way related to arab culture, before 7th century your ancestors r either followed hinduism or budhism. After your ancestors defeated by Muhammad bin quassim majority of your ancestors embraced islam

Sir Islam does not related with any culture but the man of every culture can be Muslim, such as Indian Muslim, Afghani Muslim, American Muslim, Russian Muslim, Chines Muslim British Muslim etc.
We love Arabic language because 1- the holy Quran is in the Arabic language.
2- The Holy Prophet PBUH was an Arabic.

There was never an intention to annex Bangladesh or to convert BD Muslims in 1971.India didn't even annexed Hindu majority districts of BD in 1971.

And if it was the intention,Indians would've revolted against our own Govt.

Two nation theory still exists. 1971 was a conspiracy against Pakistan Just like they are stirring up conspiracy in Balochistan today. East Pakistan was too far away to be defended from those bastards anyway If you still wish to live in ignorance thn go to India and eat beef biryani to find out the truth.

You r right islam does not discriminate anyone on the basis of ethnicity. Here it is not about religion, but historical events, you cannot deny sindhis,punjabis.pathans,Kashmiri (basically pakistanis ) r once either budhist or hindus , they fought against arab invaders and lost their war and changed the religion

You do not understand my point of view, How many Punjabi are Muslim in their Punjabi culture and how many Punjabi are Hindu in their Punjabi culture.
How many Sindhi are Muslim in their Sindhi culture and how many are Hindu in their Sindhi culture.
How many Bengali are Muslim in their own culture and how many Bengali are Hindu with their Bengali culture.

 

[Red-Bull]

Indians don't like the history of arab invaders

Pakistan owes it's existence to them

So make your choice. Who is your hero?

Whom do you exactly ask this question ? If this question implies to Muslim then our hero shall be of course Mohammad Bin Qasim

But many Indians are still confused as to how we celebrate his victory even though our ancestors were 'Hindus'.

By India be specific is it Hindus or Muslims, for India is a nation of many religions and not specific to one religious group and why would hindus celebrate a Muslims victory for he destroyed their temples and converted them to Islam
