Why are many Pakistan missiles named after those Muslim invaders who plundered India? By Vikas.

Ghaznavi, Ghauri, and Taimur left a trail of blood wherever they went and looted the locals. They destroyed temples, forced conversions and tormented the local people. …

The rationale behind Pakistan naming missiles by these tyrants: Pakistan just does not want to come out of the mindset that Muslims are rightful rulers of the subcontinent.

Even the history taught at schools in Pakistan emphasises more on Islamic rule during the Mughal period than of the freedom struggle and Vedic times. There is little mention of Mahatma Gandhi and other freedom fighters in their textbooks.

They try to imbibe this idea among their people that Muslims are the rightful rulers of India and that Hindus usurped power from them. After the 1947 partition, Pakistan was formed and their entire identity hinges on Islam.
