The Real Reason

In the current issue of the India Today, there is an article titled “Whither Identity”. The article states that the Shaheen-1 & Ghauri missiles of Pakistan are Chinese & N.Korean made repectively.. What is interesting though, is that the missiles are named after Afgan Heroes Ahmad Shah Abdali and Mahummed Ghauri.. Pakistan’s reply was that both these countries have common heroes..
Come On……. Both Shah and Ghauri were heroes all right, but are they forgetting that these heroes had fought against an un-partitioned India which included Pakistan?? Some of their forefathers would have fought against these common heroes.. Or is it that there are no Pakistani heroes ( come on, even I know many Pak heroes ).. So why did Pak name it after them??
The only reason that I can think of is that Shah and Ghauri were successful in invading India (took some attempts though).. I must appreciate the optimism in naming their missiles.. But whats the big deal in accepting their intention.. Even if I am wrong, aren’t there any Pakistani heroes at all to name the missile after.. Many great leaders, patriots and freedom fighters have born on the other side as well…
Any way, what’s in a name?????
