I don't think any other Nation thinks along these lines though. Am yet to come across an Arab or Persian guy who is happy about the achievements of Sufi saints of the subcontinent. Heck, they're not even happy that you have the A-bomb.
Am yet to come across a Christian guy who said that any conquests done by Spain, Portugal, Italy, UK, France etc were Christian conquests over other religions. As for Indians, nobody gave a rat's @$$ to Nepal even though it was the only Hindu kingdom for a long time nor to Bali which has a Hindu majority.
Just an observation and not meant to hurt or inflame anyone.
- There is a concept of Ummah in Islam. Looking from that perspective most Muslims take pride in all achievements of Muslims starting from the very beginning of Islam.
- Other then that we are greatly influenced by Islamic kingdoms of India and Afghanistan.
- I have yet to meet any Irani or Arab (and there are many where I am) who doesn't like us having the A- Bomb. Even if you meet some people like this they do not represent the common sentiment.
- Christians are Christians, Muslims are Muslims.
