Obviously I do consider Raja Dahir and Porus and even Jaipal my heroes, because Islam doesn’t determine hero-ship for me. How come I make a person my hero, who attacked Sindh after his leader gave assurance to emperor for a Return as high as 5 times of the expenditure on invasion. It is not just MBQ who attacked Sindh for getting free Arab ladies. Before MBQ there were 16 attacks on Sindh by Arabs from 632 AD to 711 AD. I can’t rely on the sharafat of Hajjaj Bin Yusuf, who made ladies of city of the Prophet halal to Zangi soldiers from Africa.
I want that local people and dynasties be given proper coverage to make our next generations realize that we are not barren when it comes to producing heroes. I want next generations getting rid of imported invaders as their heroes.
Interestingly, KPK government dared to make some changes, but MUllas couldn’t digest that.
“The provincial government has removed lessons on the life of Holy Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be upon Him), His wives and four caliphs from textbooks and inducted contents about Ranjit Singh,** Raja Dahir**, and Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, who had campaigned against the British Raj and carried out non-violence movement in the Indian sub-continent,” JI provincial chief Professor Ibrahim Khan told party workers in Sarai Naurung area of Lakki Marwat.
