Naming of nuclear weapons after Afghan historical figures.

[ډګروال]

Pakistan has named its weapons of mass destruction after Afghan historical figures whom we Afghans hold dear.
Ive heard some Afghans take pride in this and even say that "Pakistan even uses names of Afghan heroes because they dont have their own"

why arent pakistanis calling these weapons of mass destruction jiang or allama iqbal or liaqat ali?

Ghauri-5

Abdali-1



Ghaznavi-1





IM TOTALLY AGAINST NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND FIND IT TO BE INSULTING TO NAME THESE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AFTER AFGHAN HEROES.I THINK AFGHANS SHOULD DEMAND THESE NAMES TO BE CHANGED

An artificial state, created by the British, will obviously try to use Afghan historical figures to scare Indians. Indians darn well know these are Afghan figures, and given that Pakistan has no history, they will obviously use the Muslim card and claim since those Afghans were Muslim, they can claim as their brethren.

[Kushan Prince]

Stupid pakis, first they make fun of afghans, then they name their weapons of mass destruction after afghan leaders. i am against this.

[Khostai]

Most pakis say becuase those leaders were Pashtun and becuase there are pashtuns living in Pakistan they are allowed to use those names, like Afghans use Rumi and Abn Sina as theres becuase we have Tajiks in Afghanistan and they are Afghan nationals.
Ithink thats the reason.

Lol i don't get it there must be a crazy theory behind this .

this could be verry true since pakistan hates india. Whatever they are not that naive that afghans have their own problems, and they are damn sure why they couldve done that without any afghan copyright lOOOOOOOO| i am also against this .

[DaZahroJaam.]

They have exploited us as a nation and used us as weapons against everyone else as in the past. I find it ironic.

Don't stress too much about it. Anybody with a brain size, whose weight is larger than of a pea, knows that Pakistan is an artificial state, in which each province is a country. Such Banana republics, if you grab a history book, always appear and dissolve almost immediately. Even Today, the inhabitants of the British creation are at each others throats. Muhajirs are murking Pashtuns, Pashtuns are dispatching Liaqat Bangash type of people to chop Muhajir heads off, Baluchistan wants nothing to do with the state, I mean, it's only natural for the government to use Afghan figures for their happiness. After all, the A in Pakistan was supposed to represent Afghans.

Like I tell many, don't worry about Pakistan. Don't compare a mighty power like India to a banana republic like Pakistan. The only thing in common with India and Pakistan is IT, an awesome export I might confess. It's just that India exports IT, as in, Information Technology, while Pakistan exports IT, as in, International Terrorism.

There are some heroes who belong to all Muslims. For instance Sher Shah Suri was our Emperor and hero, but Afghan-Pashtuns also own him. Ghazi Salahuddin, Amir Taimur, Tipu Sultan and so on are heroes of the Muslims.

-_- Thats not what I say. Pashtuns in are also in Pakistan. Or is Pakistan now only Punjab?

Asad Khana, we don't own him, he is one of us(an Afghan).

that would be fine and good if it were not for pakistan being detrimentally involved in the nation that spawned these leaders. naming a missile after a man(abdali) who would go to war with pakistan today if he were still alive is amusing. the others were not pashtun, there is debate about ghauri but i think the consensus was that he was not, so i don't have a problem with that from a nationalist standpoint. but again it is amusing from an islamic standpoint to see pakistan doing all it can to play up the islamic image while being a complete contradiction in its domestic and foreign affairs. these people need to realize that while they may be muslim, they are still the legacy of india and the british.

i actually feel sorry for paki scientists as its obvious that there are bright people involved in the states defense programs but the state is a sinking ship and the state would rather invest in terrorism than nurturing these bright minds. its like soviet scientists in the 80s.
