Why do Indians dislike Pakistani attachment to Muhammad Bin Qasim?

[Airdef95]

in fact I dare say even Hindus do not know where they begin and where they end.

I once read a book "Dimensions of Pakistan movement". First 14 pages are worth reading.
Its interesting to know about Hindus, their history and their psyche. I even posted about it a few months ago and an Indian called me "delusional". Its funny to know how arrogant and ignorant they are about themselves.

They're even good in manipulating facts.

Leave all that, first tell me who is Muhammad Bin Qasim.??

 

[Brahmaputra Mail]

Muhammad Bin Qasim was a medieval Kar Sevak who destroyed and plundered temples just like Kar Sevaks destroyed Babri Masjid. It's a shame plunderers are glorified.

 

[pak-marine]

As we are Muslim first we are of course going to identify with Bin Qasim.

So make your choice. Who is your hero?

You have already answered however will ask u again if the choice is btw religion and pakistan .. What will you choose ?

 

[Brahmaputra Mail]

our ancestors were not Hindus

Yup you were outsiders. Just like Ashkenazi Jews in British Mandate of Palestine.
Ashkenazi Jews were considered outsiders by Palestinian Arabs. Ashkenazi Jews demanded Israel. Muslims argue that outsiders have no right to demand for partition of their land.

Honest question to pakistanis , do you really believe you guys r from arab ancestry, as per my knowledge sindhis,punjabis, pathans all r no way related to arab culture, before 7th century your ancestors r either followed hinduism or budhism. After your ancestors defeated by Muhammad bin quassim majority of your ancestors embraced islam

Bhai, who says that...? No one does; if we had a choice from being other than Pakistani - Arabs and Indians would be the last thing to choose. We just celebrate him the same way as we celebrate Mahmud or Saladin. Our ancestors were never really defeated by Muhammad bin Qassim; he just conquered portions of Sindh. Majority of our ancestors were not even Hindus; they primarily followed Buddhism, Animism, Shamanism, Zoroastrianism, and tribal religions. The only region where Hinduism was strong, was south Sindh.

Our ancestors embraced Islam because of the Sufi missionaries not because of Muhammad bin Qasim.

Arabs are also part of Pakistani's as many Arabs settled down after coming over here

Religion.

Remember that Pakistan was made for religion.

Before 1947, at that time we were Indians and we had to choose between our country India and our religion.

Had our forefathers not chosen religion then there would have been no Pakistan.


Putting religion second to Pakistan is actually being anti-Pakistan.

@Apprentice - would you like anyone glorifying a guy who had destroyed mosques and decapitated Muslims? An invader for some is a leader for others. some Indians in PDF believe Pakistan was a "converted" set of peoples from the Indian land - originally Hindus/buddhists/jains who were converted by invaders who destroyed their temples and took away their brethren

What you are looking for here (going by your past posts) is little more than stirring up sentiments. Why do you care of Indians do not like what Pakistanis think or do?

Its not a "Belief" that pdf Indians have, its just an historical fact.

The mountain range in Pakistan is called "Hindu kush", in persian it means the "Mountain of Dead Hindus"

Why do you think that name came into existence ?

To deny history is to deny your roots.

I my self pay tribute to those authors of Medical and engineering books of India which are teaching in Pakistan Medical and engineering universities, but i am wondering on those historians of India ( after 1947) who are perfidy of their name HISTORIAN. They create a new history according to their thoughts.

 

[Kambojaric]

Both. It's like asking the British "who is your hero? William the Conqueror or Harold at Battle of Hastings. Both played a role in making of British history. Ditto MB-Qasim and R-Dahir.

Essentially how I feel about the two as well. If one studies history objectively without mixing it up with ones own personal beliefs and agendas, then undoubtedly both Dahir and Qasim in their own ways have played a part in the story of Pakistan. There is no point in denying either one, as then we are denying a part of ourselves and our history.

My roots are in Kashmir Valley.


As for the etymology you claim for Hindu Kush's name, then thats a myth.

Yes a rich tradition of singing praise about conquerors who killed, looted, and did all bad things to Pakistan.

It was India at that time. Pakistan, as an ideology, began with Islam.
