When coterminous Pakistan fought Alexander the Great and almost brought him down to his knees.

Whatever his name was, he wasnt your kind, which your kind is desperately and rather shamelessly trying to prove.




I am not talking French mate. Simply disassociating your kind with Porus.

He maybe not the greatest in term of his kingdom and resources but what he achieved was indeed the greatest. That is why there can be a comparison drawn between him and the spartan king Leonidas, while the later got killed, Porus lived on cherishing his victory against all odds.

Why not name some of your streets and your missile after King Porus. Your stance will be vindicated.

At the end of day Porus Was defeated kinģ,
Hope Pakistanis also honour rajah dahir, who is true son of soil of pakistan.

I just hope they honor all the great kings of their past who ruled their region. Conterminous Pakistan means accepting their hindu and Buddhist past and beyond.

I am sure by now you must be aware that Hindu as a religion is a British concocted word, the fact is their in no such religion as river Sindhu PERIOD.

I second that. That is least they can do for a great warrior that CP produced.

Why would we name our missile after someone you also respect?

The point of naming our missiles is to not only name them after our heroes, but to also trigger Hindustan or have some sort of symbolism.

Porus doesn't trigger you, and I fail to see any positive symbolism that naming a missile after him would have.

Forget missiles, how about naming some road or a building after him??? You don't it for our sake but what he did for your people.

Maybe someday that'll happen.

It will. A good example is USA. In 1800 they carried out a genocide against the native Apache, Mohawk peoples. Today they name this beast "Apache".

But either way it is has nothing to do with Indians. It is our choice. And we will make it.




A tomahawk is a type of single-handed axe from North America, traditionally resembling a hatchet with a straight shaft. The name came into the English language in the 17th century as an adaptation of the Powhatan word. Today they use it to name thier missile.

Babur? Abdali? Foreign heroes. Mughal and Durrani.

So are the Hindustanis going to say the Yanks have an inferiority complex for naming their weapons after the Natives who they're not related to? Oh, sorry. They only do that for us Pakistanis.

The best part is those idiots don't realise that the Durranis are a major tribe in Pakistan, that Abdali came from Multan, that the Ghurids were Pashtuns (Pakistan has the most Pashtuns in the world), that KPK/FATA/Baluchistan (and at some points even the whole Indus Valley) were historically associated with Afghanistan, that these Islamic invaders had many Pakistanis work for them (and reach high positions too), that for most of these Islamic empires Lahore was one of their biggest cities, and that many Pakistanis are descended from people who migrated to the area during these Islamic invasions.

Compare that to the Americans who not only actively fought against the Natives but are also (mostly) not related to them, and one wonders where the noble RSS brigade is to make Americans appreciate their pre-modern history.

Babur? Abdali? Foreign heroes. Mughal and Durrani.

Read my above post, as well as some of the other ones I've gotten positive ratings for.

Durrani's make a major contribution to Pakistan Army. Examples are Gen. Asad Durrani of the ISI fame and of course Gen. Mahmud Durrani.

Durrani was born in 1941 in Abbottabad, which is in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province (formerly North-West Frontier Province) of Pakistan. He is an ethnic Pashtun from the Durrani tribe. After graduating from Pakistan Military Academy in 1961 in the 24th PMA Long Course (same batch as General Jehangir Karamat who later became the Army chief) and winning the sword of honour,[4] he served in various command, staff and instructional posts for about 16 years. From 1977 to 1982 he was Pakistani Armed Forces attaché in Washington, D.C. He then served as military secretary to the president of Pakistan until 1986.

They are not Pakistani tribe. Abdali believed to be born towards North West Afghanistan and considering you lot take potshots at Afghanistan from Time to time and claim their history too is a bit shady. Also, having few urban centers of a great empire like Mughal means nothing. That's all you got. Few regions which were part of some empires. Ruled over and tossed over.

Ruled over and tossed over.

Says a Gangadeshi who have virtually spent the entire history being roded by outsiders only finally getting their own India with a pucca Gandoo called Gandh/Nehru at the helm.

Shhhhh you're using facts, namak haram and RSS brigade doesn't like that.

Abdali was born in Multan, KPK/FATA/Baluchistan were historically associated with Afghanistan, many Pakistanis worked and fought alongside these empires (attaining high ranks too, e.g Shahrullah Khan was a Punjabi Mughal general) and Lahore has more Mughal monuments than any city in Hindustan. We also have many Pakistanis related to both groups.

Anyway, this is rich coming from you since you love Tipu Sultan even though his grandfather was Punjabi.

As for that part about getting tossed over, please. We've been kicking your a55 for most of history, from the Vedic people to Abdali. You have no history of your own, which is why you try to steal ours (IVC, Porus, Panini, Kanishka, etc).

considering you lot take potshots at Afghanistan

Sometimes brothers can have the most intense hatred. Did you know that one of the names considered for NWFP was "Afghania" with finally Khyber Pakhtunkwa being the winner? And did you know that the name "Pakistan" has "a" derived from "Afghania?

The best part is the word Afghanistan means land of the Pashtuns, and yet Pakistan has almost as many Pashtuns as there are people in Afghanistan. If anything, we are the real Afghanistan.

Yeah, but there are not many foreign genes in me. Nor we weren't the punching bag of the subcontinent. Arabs, Turks, Bactrians, Romans, Mongols. Also, starts a thread for a guy who lost against the Romans and went on to be a subjugate of the Romans after losing the battle, only to be murdered by another Roman.
All these loses could've been avoided if conterminous Pakistan could do something as basic as win the wars fought in its history (Not just Romans).
