Very intelligent and logical interview sir ..... I love listening to you.... If every Pakistani get your level of intellect, South Asia will become next Euro Zone.
Very nice and clear discussion. You can hide your past from present generation teaching false history, but you can not deny your roots, your ancestors, your recorded history. If you don't accept the fact of our history, roots, ancestry, rather than, if one is distorting history, then the distorted history will destroy the entire nation.
LITERALLY LOVED IT SIR !!! I wish I could meet you in person. I so want to discuss certain things with you. I’m glad you created a channel for yourself. Many people criticise you because you talk about other things too other than science or physics. But I know in Pakistan it is useless to talk about science before opening people’s minds. And this channel will serve the purpose Inshallah. First things first. 🙂
I am very impressed with the rationality and critical thinking of dr. Pervez hoodbhouy. I take inspiration from him to seek the truth without biasness and speak the reality.
Please talk about why our pakistani punjabis are ashamed of their language punjabi, and consider it a shoe shiner language. What are the reasons for that? Despite the fact punjabi has been spoken for thousands of years before Urdu. I have seen most pakistani punjabis speaking Urdu with their children, in a punjabi accent.😅😅😅😅. What are the psychological reasons why a nation starts to feel ashamed of their own language, and history. Professor please speak on this subject. I briefly know that Colonisation is one of the reason, but please speak in more details.
The consequence of discrimination will always be counter discrimination, hatred begets hatred. So, people should contemplate the possibility of expunging this word Kafir and make it a criminal offence to use that word. Calling someone "Kafir" is "Non- Islamophobia" - fear of anything that's non Islamic. Without a solution to this issue, no Islamic society will have peace or will they have the moral high ground to accuse others of phobia or discrimination.
You sir have no knowledge about the word kafir. The word kafir does not mean non believers in Islam, it means the one who rejects god. We can say atheists. Why would you take offense for a word?. If you say this is a offensive word, then there is a word for believers called as 'ghafir'. It's just a terminology. These nomenclatures are there in every abrahamic religions. Even i. Dharmic religion isn't there a word called 'lesser born'?
@@immammuddin5019 It's not the word & it's exact meaning. Let's not hide behind technicalities. The word Kafir has been used with a negative & deragotary connotation right from the time of Prophet. Nobody can deny this.
@@kanthavelkv From the time of prophet? Please give me a valid reference of that. Yes in the Indian discourse it is used negatively by some zealous clerics and hardliners. But to say it has been that way all along is an exaggeration.
@@immammuddin5019 Just look at how the Jews were referred to in those times & how they were treated, the information of which is in the scripture itself. You would get the answer. You're again trying to hide behind technicalities by asking for a reference point.
@@kanthavelkvYou were talking about the derogatory use of the term kafir please give a reference for that. As for Jews it's a whole different context. But in the life of the prophet Jews of Medina were never humiliated. A particular tribe of Jews alone were killed because of their participation in the battle of khandaq.
very much impressed with prof. Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy but worried about extremism in my country which keeps on increasing day by day and ruining our country...
Sir, I am a huge fan of yours. Your ideas are what Pakistan needs. I hope there is a generation that follows the likes of you and Sir Syed, Not just Iqbal
This was an enlightening video clip. Whatever Prof. Pervez Hoodbhoy said also has a lot of lessons in India. That we in India should never make religion the basis of nationalism. Religious nationalism is a poisonous mix which can undo the nation. Modern and democratic nation states are home to several religious groups. The way forward for humanity is to build nation states based on rule of law and civil liberties protected by an independent and secular jurisprudence and not based on any religious laws. My deep appreciation for Prof. Pervez Hoodbhoy and also the anchor who asked very relevant questions.
Discrimination is the manifestation of hatred for a particular section of society or philosophy. Hatred is further legitimised in the scripture with such derogatory terms such as "Kafir" The question is : Why even such a word as Kafir should exist in a holy scripture, is God discriminatory ? This philosophy of hatred has trickled down to the pyche of its followers and has dehumanised the non believers. Why not leave the non believers alone.
Privileged upper castes will go to any length to malign Islam but it won't change the fact that you have oppressed lower castes since the dawn of time and still continue to oppress them . You hate Islam because Muslims don't conform to your power dynamics. Keep Hating(One hates a formidable oponent not an insignificant one so THANKS for acknowledging our might👍)
Very thoughtful and a kind of intellectual talk. Both gentlemen have very good grip on the issue. Everyone residing east of the Sindhu irrespective of their faith are "Hindus". Hinduism is an idea of Duty not religion.
It is a sign of the times we live in that this discussion took place between these two gentlemen. Three decades back, it may have been deemed blasphemous. Six decades ago, they could have been arrested for offence to state and faith. In his book 'Among the believers', Sir V S Naipaul states that Islam demands that the convert forego all ties with his past. Having seen the light, the past of darkness must be abandoned. From that perspective, Pakistan has done no wrong. Yet, it is one's past and pride thereof that prepares one for the future. Pakistan has disowned it's past, is uneasy about it's present and unsure of it's future. That's not a very happy place to be in.
Bahit umnda ... Mujhe laga nahi tha pakistan me mai itne umda kisme ki conversations ko hote dekhunga... Subscribed .. Pakistan ke kisi channel ka mera pahala subscription ... 👌🏼
The ironic thing is that in the uk, we call everyone from India and Pakistan as ‘apnas’ and more recently as ‘desis’. That is the reality. Pakistan is truly an imagination.
Naz, I would love to see what Dr. Hoodbhoy has to say about accepting differences. But as a Pakistani, I feel to progress; we need to embrace our differences. I read this somewhere, and I think that's true for Pakistan چمن میں اختلاط رنگ و بو سے بات بنتی ہے ہم ہی ہم ہیں تو کیا ہم ہیں تم ہی تم ہو تو کیا تم ہو All these different ethnicities, cultures, and religions make Pakistan not the other way around!
I m so happy to have watched this video. Pervaz sahab has such clarity about Identity and Nationhood. I wish everyone should watch this and learn from him.
@Subodh Easy music ... i knw. It is interconnected as a civilization. But as a modern republic... its present form and borders were reIMAGINED and put to reality... If you understand the concept ... therz nothing really offensive
@Manjeet Singh ... ya sure.. even Islamic countries ... eg; Iraq, Pakistan, Bangladesh are all imagined by political outlook and geographically don't exist. You really thought i had a separate standard on the Muslim ones? I'm not an emotional fool like madrasa chhaaps or the Bhaktus of India. Secular forces are the only real constructive forces in the subcontinent
@@tanvirshaikh7415 India is an imagined state. But not an imagined nation or country. As are Bangladesh and Iran. But countries like Iraq or Pakistan are imagined nations as well. That is the difference.
One of the often repeated mistaken assumption in world history is, thinking that religion is binding factor for humans. It’s not. In Sri Lanka when Sinhalese language was made national language, Tamil speaking population fought against it. A Tamil MP asked a question National Assembly -“Do you want two language, one nation or one language two nation”. It was for very this reason in India, we don’t have one single language as national language. We have 22 scheduled languages, because founding fathers of India knew how much emotional people are about their mother tongue. As Hindu Kannadiga from South India, I can connect better with a Kannada speaking Christian/Muslim than with a Hindi speaking Hindu. Religion is overrated!! Mind you, don't think that Indians are divided linguistically. Nothing from the farther from truth.
This conversation is just mind-blowing. A lot to learn from and one of the best interview i have ever watch on UA-cam. Actually i just wanted to know what exactly the identification of a Pakistan why there is too much confusion in the Pakistani Culture. Then just saw this masterpiece. Thank you so much for awareness.
@Socrates55 Yes it is a popular narrative. Can you give me primary sources for this. Even if we assumed this narrative to be correct, Babur wouldn't come on invitation if he was not interested. One important factor was he was anyways pushed out from the his land due to power struggles. There have been studies on economic history which show India held major percent of world GDP before Mongols came.
His understanding of India is still very prejudiced, perhaps he views India as a Hindu Country. When the Country was divided on the basis of Religion, there is no harm in declaring Bharat a Hindu Rashtra where all religions have a place as it was there for ages.
Very good quality discussion useful for human rights and growth for every Pakistani youngsters thank you for both of you, we are waiting for another thoughtful discussion. ❤️👍👌💜🙏🌹
There are many great people which land of Punjab produced from Porus to Dulla Bhatti to Ranjit Singh. From which point of view you read the history changes the whom you regard as great or not.

For the first time such purposeful discussion is taking place on the soil of Pakistan.I am sure 99.9% Pakistanis cannot either understand it or agree with it.
this is the most succinct and precise definition of what ails the project - that is pakistan. the idea that religion was sufficient to create a country was the most catastrophic failure that endures to this day. if jinnah were to see the state of pakistan today, he would rue the day he envisioned the so called and hollow "two-nation" theory. gentlemen, i enjoyed this enlightened discussion. thank you.
"Qaum (Arabic: قوم, Persian: قوم) is the Arabic word for nation. It may refer to a community of people who share a common language, culture, ethnicity, descent, and/or history. In this definition, a nation has no physical borders." Source : Wikipedia Very sad, bunch of confused converted people discussing on the concept of Quam. Now the pertinent question is which Quam ? Qaum of their ancestors or the people who owned them ?
@@help123research4 who is that." We "? Hindus?? If you mean something else, it is a shame that there is a society in planet earth, which is proud of invaders who were uncultured.
As a Bengali, I can hardly distinguish between a North Indian Hindu and a North Indian Muslim. I guess the same goes for a North Indian or a Pakistani when he meets a Bengali Muslim and a Bengali Hindu. In the Indian subcontinent genetic heritage is strongly determined by geographic location rather than religion. Towards the North, the heritage is characterized by Ancestral North Indian, and towards the South it is Ancestral South Indian. And in borderline places like Bengal etc, it is more of a mixture. Broadly speaking.
*So what?? Yeah ethnically speaking, Ethnicity of Pakistanis is Indo Aryan, they're not 100% Arabs, Turks, Persians etc, why is that a big deal, basically, all they want is that all Muslims of subcontinent become Hindu again, and they talk about these things that look you're genetically and ethnically indian, yeah so what??*
@@shariqsalman92 I think pakistani people, at least a minority have a huge identity crisis and that's what is being discussed in parts of this video. For instance, naming your country's missiles Ghaznavi after a Turko Persian. And I'm a Muslim btw.
@@computertipsandtrick *How can you bash all Pakistanis when only a few people who idealise Ertugrul or other Muslim rulers and associate them with those rulers, maybe they do that because of a commonality between them i.e., religion, as far as race is concerned there are so many different races residing inside Pakistan*
@@shariqsalman92 There are many Muslims in India , Bangladesh, Srilanka and even around the globe perhaps who have loved Ertugal series and series like Suleiman the Magnificent, however, loving or liking or idolising something is different than falsely believing and claiming someone else's heritage. And naming Ghaznavi is fine but let me ask you, is there any other Muslim state or country or Turks or Persians or Arabs that have named it's ammunition or city or anything after a Pakistani King? (if there is any) Or person? I'm sorry if this sounds harsh. I'm a Muslim too. NASA has named a telescope after a noble prize winner Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar who was born in Lahore, a Lahori born in Pakistan. It makes one wonder on the obliviousness of "few" pakistani people who themselves were Hindus and trying to act more Muslims than the conquerors (foreign Muslims) themselves, with names & surnames such as Fayaz Chauhan, Bajwa, Butt, Cheema, Rana, Rajput, ..I believe in the subcontinent, Pakistani Muslims have the strongest Hindu DNA and I am saying this as a Muslim. Not all Pakistanis think the same and most are sensible people.
Jinnah knew full well that he will not live long enough to see the fate of his creation! It was also a sucker punch in the face of his Hindu family that excommunicated his grandfather for fishing, so much so that the grandson undertook fishing in the troubled water.

Rare occasions when the interviewer is also smart. Baki Parvez sir toh smart hey hi 👍👍
Yes he is good at twisting his answers ,to save his face.
...only in physics!!!
Very intelligent and logical interview sir ..... I love listening to you.... If every Pakistani get your level of intellect, South Asia will become next Euro Zone.
The creation of “Pakistan” by cruelly dismembering thousands of years old BHARAT was a disaster and a curse upon the world 🛑
Sub continent have shared History, religion changed with time. But ancestry remained same for large part of history.
Very nice and clear discussion.
You can hide your past from present generation teaching false history, but you can not deny your roots, your ancestors, your recorded history.
If you don't accept the fact of our history, roots, ancestry, rather than, if one is distorting history, then the distorted history will destroy the entire nation.
LITERALLY LOVED IT SIR !!! I wish I could meet you in person. I so want to discuss certain things with you. I’m glad you created a channel for yourself.
Many people criticise you because you talk about other things too other than science or physics. But I know in Pakistan it is useless to talk about science before opening people’s minds. And this channel will serve the purpose Inshallah. First things first. 🙂
I am very impressed with the rationality and critical thinking of dr. Pervez hoodbhouy. I take inspiration from him to seek the truth without biasness and speak the reality.
Very much impressed with the interviewer.
great to see doctor Pervez Hoodbhoy opened an youtube channel. Its been great to listen to you.
Pervez Hoodbhoy explains so well! Would love to be a student again if he is the teacher
Nice sir .. mujhe acha lga kisi pakistani ko 1st time itni achi baat krte dekha h .. Pakistan ko ap jaise logo ki jarurt h
Tag tv dekho.

I like interviewing person. He is very enlighten person so is Pervez Hoodbhoy.
Pakistan needs many more people like these two.
That’s my brother!

Pakistan should have plenty of people like him. Hats off to him.
Please talk about why our pakistani punjabis are ashamed of their language punjabi, and consider it a shoe shiner language. What are the reasons for that? Despite the fact punjabi has been spoken for thousands of years before Urdu. I have seen most pakistani punjabis speaking Urdu with their children, in a punjabi accent.😅😅😅😅. What are the psychological reasons why a nation starts to feel ashamed of their own language, and history. Professor please speak on this subject. I briefly know that Colonisation is one of the reason, but please speak in more details.
Because it is related to india. Pakistan keep running from everything which include india
The consequence of discrimination will always be counter discrimination, hatred begets hatred.
So, people should contemplate the possibility of expunging this word Kafir and make it a criminal offence to use that word.
Calling someone "Kafir" is "Non- Islamophobia" - fear of anything that's non Islamic.
Without a solution to this issue, no Islamic society will have peace or will they have the moral high ground to accuse others of phobia or discrimination.
You sir have no knowledge about the word kafir. The word kafir does not mean non believers in Islam, it means the one who rejects god. We can say atheists. Why would you take offense for a word?. If you say this is a offensive word, then there is a word for believers called as 'ghafir'. It's just a terminology. These nomenclatures are there in every abrahamic religions. Even i. Dharmic religion isn't there a word called 'lesser born'?
@@immammuddin5019 It's not the word & it's exact meaning. Let's not hide behind technicalities.
The word Kafir has been used with a negative & deragotary connotation right from the time of Prophet.
Nobody can deny this.
@@kanthavelkv From the time of prophet? Please give me a valid reference of that. Yes in the Indian discourse it is used negatively by some zealous clerics and hardliners. But to say it has been that way all along is an exaggeration.
@@immammuddin5019 Just look at how the Jews were referred to in those times & how they were treated, the information of which is in the scripture itself. You would get the answer.
You're again trying to hide behind technicalities by asking for a reference point.
@@kanthavelkvYou were talking about the derogatory use of the term kafir please give a reference for that. As for Jews it's a whole different context. But in the life of the prophet Jews of Medina were never humiliated. A particular tribe of Jews alone were killed because of their participation in the battle of khandaq.
It was time you got on UA-cam sooner or later. Very good move to interact with a wider audience
very much impressed with prof. Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy but worried about extremism in my country which keeps on increasing day by day and ruining our country...
beautiful.... both of you thanks
This is one of the most balanced assessment on Pakistan by a Pakistani analyst! Gr8 job Mr.Hoodbhoy
Whether your parents are special or not , you don’t disown them.
Sir, I am a huge fan of yours. Your ideas are what Pakistan needs. I hope there is a generation that follows the likes of you and Sir Syed, Not just Iqbal
Why not iqbal
@@hassanaqeel9485 I have not written it someone else has written this comment I think
What is this not just Iqbal plz thought before say anything if you don't now about Iqbal then don't talk ok
Don't say rubbish word without thinking ok sorry if you mind or I am stubborn for you but plz think before say something.
What a great intense discussion. Absolutely loved it.
This was an enlightening video clip. Whatever Prof. Pervez Hoodbhoy said also has a lot of lessons in India. That we in India should never make religion the basis of nationalism. Religious nationalism is a poisonous mix which can undo the nation. Modern and democratic nation states are home to several religious groups.
The way forward for humanity is to build nation states based on rule of law and civil liberties protected by an independent and secular jurisprudence and not based on any religious laws.
My deep appreciation for Prof. Pervez Hoodbhoy and also the anchor who asked very relevant questions.
But isnt it changing now under BJP?
I am happy to see Pakistanis do not say they were Indians. Indians ki reputation bach gaye.
No, they lie. When they talk to white or open restaurant in Uk Us. They use indian identity
sir u are great..
Discrimination is the manifestation of hatred for a particular section of society or philosophy.
Hatred is further legitimised in the scripture with such derogatory terms such as "Kafir"
The question is : Why even such a word as Kafir should exist in a holy scripture, is God discriminatory ?
This philosophy of hatred has trickled down to the pyche of its followers and has dehumanised the non believers.
Why not leave the non believers alone.

Very thoughtful and a kind of intellectual talk. Both gentlemen have very good grip on the issue. Everyone residing east of the Sindhu irrespective of their faith are "Hindus". Hinduism is an idea of Duty not religion.
Totally correct. I believe that too. A proud hindu from Pakistan
It is a sign of the times we live in that this discussion took place between these two gentlemen.
Three decades back, it may have been deemed blasphemous. Six decades ago, they could have been arrested for offence to state and faith.
In his book 'Among the believers', Sir V S Naipaul states that Islam demands that the convert forego all ties with his past. Having seen the light, the past of darkness must be abandoned. From that perspective, Pakistan has done no wrong. Yet, it is one's past and pride thereof that prepares one for the future.
Pakistan has disowned it's past, is uneasy about it's present and unsure of it's future. That's not a very happy place to be in.

Bangladesh take same path like Pakistan
The ironic thing is that in the uk, we call everyone from India and Pakistan as ‘apnas’ and more recently as ‘desis’. That is the reality. Pakistan is truly an imagination.
Thank you Dr. for you insights. Do you think we will ever be able to celebrate the difference?
Naz, I would love to see what Dr. Hoodbhoy has to say about accepting differences. But as a Pakistani, I feel to progress; we need to embrace our differences. I read this somewhere, and I think that's true for Pakistan
چمن میں اختلاط رنگ و بو سے بات بنتی ہے

All these different ethnicities, cultures, and religions make Pakistan not the other way around!
I m so happy to have watched this video. Pervaz sahab has such clarity about Identity and Nationhood. I wish everyone should watch this and learn from him.
Then Recommend them to RSS/BJP PEOPLE......
India is a imagined country 😀, I thought you were a smart and balanced person
Bhaktu spotted.
Only natural countries are plateaus and islands... like Tibet and Australia and Japan. That's what he meant.
@Subodh Easy music ... i knw.
It is interconnected as a civilization. But as a modern republic... its present form and borders were reIMAGINED and put to reality...
If you understand the concept ... therz nothing really offensive
@Manjeet Singh ... ya sure.. even Islamic countries ... eg; Iraq, Pakistan, Bangladesh are all imagined by political outlook and geographically don't exist.
You really thought i had a separate standard on the Muslim ones?
I'm not an emotional fool like madrasa chhaaps or the Bhaktus of India. Secular forces are the only real constructive forces in the subcontinent
@Subodh Easy music by that definition, Europe is a country
@@tanvirshaikh7415 India is an imagined state. But not an imagined nation or country. As are Bangladesh and Iran. But countries like Iraq or Pakistan are imagined nations as well. That is the difference.
Oh gosh! Thank God for such voices in Pakistan! I hope they don't get silenced, they are asking some fundamental questions!
One and only fact we are all Indians and 99.9% are Hindus converts in west India
Indian is not a race... Its just different language speaking people in this region
Pakistani are Punjabi converts unlike us .
God bless you sir...
One of the often repeated mistaken assumption in world history is, thinking that religion is binding factor for humans. It’s not. In Sri Lanka when Sinhalese language was made national language, Tamil speaking population fought against it. A Tamil MP asked a question National Assembly -“Do you want two language, one nation or one language two nation”. It was for very this reason in India, we don’t have one single language as national language. We have 22 scheduled languages, because founding fathers of India knew how much emotional people are about their mother tongue. As Hindu Kannadiga from South India, I can connect better with a Kannada speaking Christian/Muslim than with a Hindi speaking Hindu. Religion is overrated!!
Mind you, don't think that Indians are divided linguistically. Nothing from the farther from truth.
Two languages ie Sanskrit and Proto Dravidian should be made the national languages of India.
Intelligent discussion. It debunks the myth of MUSLIM UMMAH
But unfortunately he knows very little about Hinduism but will only tell about what they see in tv or journals written by leftists.

Never seen such a rational discussion between Pakistanis before. More power to you sir!
This conversation is just mind-blowing. A lot to learn from and one of the best interview i have ever watch on UA-cam.
Actually i just wanted to know what exactly the identification of a Pakistan why there is too much confusion in the Pakistani Culture.
Then just saw this masterpiece.
Thank you so much for awareness.
What did you learn ? What is pakistani culture ?
What for Mughal came to India?
People migrate to rich place.
As if babur wouldn't come ever if weren't invited. He was just looking for an oppurtunity, sooner or later he would have migrated.
@Socrates55 If Babar was comfortable then why he accepted the invitation?
It was rich Indian heritage that attracted invaders.
@Socrates55 Yes it is a popular narrative. Can you give me primary sources for this.
Even if we assumed this narrative to be correct, Babur wouldn't come on invitation if he was not interested.
One important factor was he was anyways pushed out from the his land due to power struggles.
There have been studies on economic history which show India held major percent of world GDP before Mongols came.

Yes sir,you Mr parvez hoodyboi:is one of the very few perfect and intellectual person in Pakistan who knows the original truth.
His understanding of India is still very prejudiced, perhaps he views India as a Hindu Country. When the Country was divided on the basis of Religion, there is no harm in declaring Bharat a Hindu Rashtra where all religions have a place as it was there for ages.

For the first time such purposeful discussion is taking place on the soil of Pakistan.I am sure 99.9% Pakistanis cannot either understand it or agree with it.
I am pakistani and I agree with you
What makes u both think like that?
this is the most succinct and precise definition of what ails the project - that is pakistan. the idea that religion was sufficient to create a country was the most catastrophic failure that endures to this day. if jinnah were to see the state of pakistan today, he would rue the day he envisioned the so called and hollow "two-nation" theory.
gentlemen, i enjoyed this enlightened discussion. thank you.

Appreciate the fact view that religion does not bind culture n thought process . Pakistan should realise it sooner ,the better
"Qaum (Arabic: قوم, Persian: قوم) is the Arabic word for nation. It may refer to a community of people who share a common language, culture, ethnicity, descent, and/or history. In this definition, a nation has no physical borders."

Very sad, bunch of confused converted people discussing on the concept of Quam.
Now the pertinent question is which Quam ?
Qaum of their ancestors or the people who owned them ?
@@help123research4 who is that." We "? Hindus??

Even i try
As a Bengali, I can hardly distinguish between a North Indian Hindu and a North Indian Muslim. I guess the same goes for a North Indian or a Pakistani when he meets a Bengali Muslim and a Bengali Hindu. In the Indian subcontinent genetic heritage is strongly determined by geographic location rather than religion. Towards the North, the heritage is characterized by Ancestral North Indian, and towards the South it is Ancestral South Indian. And in borderline places like Bengal etc, it is more of a mixture. Broadly speaking.
*So what?? Yeah ethnically speaking, Ethnicity of Pakistanis is Indo Aryan, they're not 100% Arabs, Turks, Persians etc, why is that a big deal, basically, all they want is that all Muslims of subcontinent become Hindu again, and they talk about these things that look you're genetically and ethnically indian, yeah so what??*
@@shariqsalman92 I think pakistani people, at least a minority have a huge identity crisis and that's what is being discussed in parts of this video. For instance, naming your country's missiles Ghaznavi after a Turko Persian. And I'm a Muslim btw.
@@computertipsandtrick *How can you bash all Pakistanis when only a few people who idealise Ertugrul or other Muslim rulers and associate them with those rulers, maybe they do that because of a commonality between them i.e., religion, as far as race is concerned there are so many different races residing inside Pakistan*
@@computertipsandtrick *Naming of missiles on muslim rulers is because state religion of Pakistan is Islam, so what else are you expecting?*
@@shariqsalman92 There are many Muslims in India , Bangladesh, Srilanka and even around the globe perhaps who have loved Ertugal series and series like Suleiman the Magnificent, however, loving or liking or idolising something is different than falsely believing and claiming someone else's heritage.
And naming Ghaznavi is fine but let me ask you, is there any other Muslim state or country or Turks or Persians or Arabs that have named it's ammunition or city or anything after a Pakistani King? (if there is any) Or person? I'm sorry if this sounds harsh. I'm a Muslim too. NASA has named a telescope after a noble prize winner Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar who was born in Lahore, a Lahori born in Pakistan.
It makes one wonder on the obliviousness of "few" pakistani people who themselves were Hindus and trying to act more Muslims than the conquerors (foreign Muslims) themselves, with names & surnames such as Fayaz Chauhan, Bajwa, Butt, Cheema, Rana, Rajput, ..I believe in the subcontinent, Pakistani Muslims have the strongest Hindu DNA and I am saying this as a Muslim.
Not all Pakistanis think the same and most are sensible people.
All admiration coming from India. .. wah, wah. .. داہر is hero of you people. .
I love you Sir
It's made my weekend.... Pakistan has to be recognised that their ancestors were Hindus not for all ... But more than 80%
Our ancestors came from land were Hinduism was the faith of the land. But religion has ZERO correlation to your DNA.
Jinnah knew full well that he will not live long enough to see the fate of his creation! It was also a sucker punch in the face of his Hindu family that excommunicated his grandfather for fishing, so much so that the grandson undertook fishing in the troubled water.
