Hindus named their fist missile after Prithvi who won the first battle against muslims while lost second and with it the war. Now when Pakistan response with naming of missile after who won against hindus, they start their usual BS that prithvi mean eart.
Why would anyone name a missile after a King who ultimately was killed in battle! Besides, the IGMDP was drafted by Bharat Ratna Shri Kalam. He gave the names of the three elements namely Prithvi, Agni and Akash to three of the missiles included in the programme. Nag, the anti-tank missile was named after Nag Chaudry and Trishul was given the name because it means trident, and it was supposed to be used by all the three(tri) services. All the names were chosen on the same day somewhere in the early eighties. And of course, all of these are well documented and the well read people are informed enough about this. If the intention was to name a missile after some medieval Hindu ruler who defeated the Muslims we would have a missile named after the Maratha King Shivaji.
Here - help yourselves with some knowledge from the wiki :
As per the philosophy, there are 5 basic elements that the human body comprises. They are - Water(Jal), Earth(Prithivi), Fire(Agni), Wind(Vaayu) and finally Space(Akash)
Maybe even the Hindu's thought about this philosophy to bring it up as an excuse to naming a missile after a King who failed! Why not, once we begin to write thoughtlessly it is perfectly OK to carry it through to insane extents.
