You’ve been on this site for years, how many Pakistanis have you come across claiming xyz ancestry, even though many do have blood going back many generations. Serious question - don’t confuse liberal atheist cum secular with the average Pakistani. Unless you think praying 5x, reading the Quran in Arabic (as it was meant to be) is trying to be Arab? Not a single Pakistani I’ve met claims to be anything but. We might not forcefully defend our history especially when Indians claim parts of it, but the identity crisis is blown way out of proportion. Often it’s a hardcore liberal secular who hates religion (Islam) and everything associated with it, or Indians. I always see Indians on SM accusing us of this, which I hope even you can see and not deny (hint just type go on Quora).
Just want to add that Indians are confused about their own history. They think 150 years of British India is somewhat equivalent to 3k years of South Asia. The fact that SA has always been fractious escapes you guys. We’re not all a homogenous region.
Additionally, you view Muslims, Pakistanis, Islam through the Hinduism prism and make asinine assumptions going off of your confirmation biases such as:
Notion about Islamic Hierarchical (no such thing theoretically per the religion and Quran. There is no pecking order in islam except who is more pious and has piety.
Arabs aren’t superior or real Muslims and Pakistanis being lower on the scale because we became Muslims at much later stage. You confused Hinduism structure with that of islam.
Countless examples in history where slaves bacame generals ie Mamalukes in Egypt, South Asia Islamic empires, and the Turkish empires practice this, rather successfully.
That islam can turn into a secular religion/culture and Muslims should just disregard the commands like others do with their religion. The very nature of being a Muslim and the Quran goes against this.
