Why hasn't Pakistan named any Missile or Naval Ship after Emperor Akbar?

[Doctor Death]

This is the list of some Pakistani Missiles:

Abdali Ballistic Missile:Named after Ahmad Shah Abdali.

Ghaznavi Missile:Named after Mahmud of Ghazni.

Ghauri Ballistic Missile:Named after Mohammed Ghori.

Babur Cruise Missile:Named after Babur.



This is the list of some Major Pakistan Navy Ships:

PNS Babur - former HMS Amazon; commissioned into PN in 1993.

PNS Jahangir - former HMS Diadem; commissioned into PN in 1957 and converted to training vessel in 1961.

PNS Shah Jahan - former HMS Active; commissioned into PN in 1994

PNS Alamgir - former USS McInerney; commissioned into PN in 2010.

As you can see, the Pakistan Military has a theme of naming their Naval vessels and missiles after former Mughal,Central Asian,Arab rulers.
Pakistan has a cruise missile and a Ship named after Babur.

But why hasn't Pakistan named any of its weapons after the most illustrious and greatest of all Mughal rulers, Emperor Akbar?

Is it because Akbar was much more secular in nature than the ones mentioned above and hence any weapons named after him would be against the theme of Pakistan?

because he was kaffir

I believe all of our Missiles should be named Hindu Kush and distinguished by numbers.

I don't think there has been a slot for a missile or vessel named Akbar. There isn't a Humayun, an Abdali and a host of other names corresponding to famous personalities.

Humayun was not a very effective ruler so he was chucked out.But you guys didn't name your Shaheen missiles after Akbar instead named it after a bird.
Which means Pakistan Military doesn't like Emperor Akbar.

I don't have a link but I remember a news article from 1985 in which Zia ul Haq called Akbar a kaffir like Spartacus here.

I think the most probable reason is Akbar was quite Secular and secularism is against Pakistani State Principle(Pakistan has declared itself as an Islamic republic).

Our Missiles Our choice, simple is that.

And Akbar means Great One, so how can a a missile can b a great one . It will sound ridiculous e.g lets suppose some one launch a missile for some purpose what he will say THAT GREAT ONE IS IN AIR.

I believe all of our Missiles should be named Hindu Kush and distinguished by numbers.

by that standard we should have named our missiles as Pakraman 1.2.3.4

Among Muslim countries Afghanistan is at the top accepting Shias as their brothers!
