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

[Manticore]

atleast the political leaders didnt name them after themselves

imagine

zardari stand off bomb
nawaz rocket launcher

Okay, perhaps we are missing the context here.
The reason that I ask this is because you said the missile Hatf was named after the Arabic word for vengeance. It was also the name of Prophet Mohammad's sword.
I am just trying to understand which context was aimed at while naming that missile.It does not make sense to me if it just for that Arab word, since there is no connection between Pakistan and the Arab World.Hence the question.

Muslims believe that all sovereignty belongs to God not to a single nation, so in that case, we don't track our history back to Pakistan, we trace it back to the Muslim roots, which is Arabia

In Pakistan many people know few words of Arabic....
The answer could be either...the Arabic word coz after all it is a weapon or Prophet's weapon (which was called something from the Arabic language which has a strong meaning)
Who named what and when and why? How is any of this relevant?

Yes we do, just imagine an ICBM named after zardari, Zardari would've probably asked for 10% for every missile produced

Fair enough.My only suggestion would be to trace back roots to Pakistan, including those who belonged to the particular land of present Pakistan as well.For there is no point in denying the fact that we belong to an era of nation state now.

Even the old rawalpindi general hospital which was not made by PPP was renamed after benazir

these politicians name every thing as if they were part of their legacy


atleast weapons names are on something which unites the nation

If I'm not mistaken there are many a streets in Islamabad which are named after people who actually belonged to East-Bengal/East Pakistan ?

I beg to differ, you can ask any muslim in the world, he/she will tell the same as I told you. All sovereignty belongs to Allah SWT, then his Prophet Muhammad SAW, and then the Nation.

You are misreading me probably.I'm saying that while it is fine for you name arsenals after great muslim heroes, there must be some who belonged to the present land of Pakistan.So, naming some missile after them would look good.

 

[Manticore]

thunder and hatf are actually good names -- dont directly point to religion
