Thanks.. But Isn't Ghaznavi in Afghanistan? Anyway, still the logic stands.. Can not understand Pakistani love for the man. The only thing I can think of is that he invaded and killed Hindus (which includes today's Pakistanis' ancestors).. Kind of like cutting the nose to spite the face..
Pakistan naming their missiles after Ghaznavi is like Pakistanis of 100 years from now glorifying the likes of TTP and Osama (who am i kidding.. A lot of Pakistanis already glorify these folks)
Well, Pakistani making history again
The Ghaznavid dynasty (Persian: غزنویان‎
was a Muslim dynasty of Turkic slave origin[5][6][7] ruling much of Persia, Transoxania, and the northern parts of the Indian subcontinent from 975 to 1186.[8][9][10] The dynasty was founded by Sebuktigin, upon his succession to rule of Ghazna (modern-day Ghazni Province in Afghanistan) after the death of his father-in-law, Alp Tigin, who was a break-away ex-general of the Samanids from Balkh, north of the Hindu Kush in Khorasan.[11]Although the dynasty was of Central Asian Turkic origin, it was thoroughly Persianized in terms of language, culture, literature, and habits,[12][13][14][15] and hence is regarded by some as a "Persian dynasty" rather than Turkic.[8][10][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]

The capital of the Ghaznavid empire was the city Ghazna in modern Afghanistan. This means that the empire was named after the capital Ghazna in modern Afghanistan
