Why does Pakistan name its weapons after people who invaded Pakistan and after Indian kings?

[Dubious]

Some Indian missiler and meanings:
Prithvi= Earth
Agni=Fire
Akash=Sky
Nag=Cobra
Nirbhay=Fearless
Astra=Arrow

I have actually heard Indian people have those as names too.....soo...

Anyway using your logic:


The following are some Pakistani weapons named after historical figures:

• Al-Khalid MBT, = Word/Name, Arabic. Meaning, "eternal" or "immortal"...I know many people with that name: Arabs, Turks, Persians, Malaysians, Indonesian and even Pakistanis

• Ghaznavi SRBM, : is an Persian family name meaning "from Ghazni"...It may refer to :
• • Hassan Ghaznavi, Pakistani poet
  • Maw'dud Ghaznavi, Afghan-born ruler
  • Mohammad Ghaznavi, Afghan-born ruler
  • Ghaznavids, Muslim dynasty
  
  
  
• Ghauri
• Shahrukh Khan's wife? .
• Babur : According to Stephen Frederic Dale, the name Babur is derived from the Persian word babr, meaning "tiger", a word that repeatedly appears in Firdawsī's Shāhnāma[6]and had also been borrowed by the Turkic languages of Central Asia

• 
  
• Abdali-I

What Does Name "Abdali" Mean

Powerful and complete

the abdalis (durranis) are one of the largestpashtuntribes of afghanistan, western Pakistan and eastern iran.

Probably you have forgotten your own post.

then how come you named your Prithvi missile after a looter and plunderer, who got the shit beaten out of him by an Afghan invader?

• Ghauri
• Ghauri is not a popular first name. It is more often used as a boy (male) or a girl (female) name.
  
  People having the name Ghauri are in general originating from United States of America..
• Babur : According to Stephen Frederic Dale, the name Babur is derived from the Persian word babr, meaning "tiger", a word that repeatedly appears in Firdawsī's Shāhnāma[6]and had also been borrowed by the Turkic languages of Central Asia

Thats a difference in the view points mate,Pakistanis put their religion in front of their nation,while for Indians its the other way around. Hence genuinely surprised.

Well, thats our business now isnt it?

I am not sure when Indians will learn the meaning of uniqueness not everything outside India looks or behaves like India or Indians...Man you people need to go out more!
