There is no dichotomy friend. We both share culture with Iran and Afghanistan but you probably have more in common with them as with Arabs. But you have most in common with us, when it comes to culture. Also, we feel that invaders invaded both India as well as present day Pakistan and killed locals from Sindh to Delhi and mercilessly. I'm surprised some of them are your heroes because think of it, many of them drenched Punjab with blood. And they were not messeiahs of Islam either. Isam was mostly spread by Sufis.But that's a matter of opinion. One can see it in a very different way than he or she likes. Also, please don't think we hate Muslims. If that was the case, we would have renamed all cities, gullies, chowks whose names are Muslims as we renamed most cities which were named by the British.
