End of the past?

I was talking about punjabi rulers. We have seen Pashtun, afghan, Turks, Mongols and other central Asians ruling the area for thousands of years. Our history of of subjugation hence we make use of religion to adopt foreigners as our heroes. On the contrary Sindh has a better history and so has Afghanistan. Anyways the distorted history we have been subjected to was introduced by zia to Give it an islamic touch to create acceptance for jehad in Afghanistan.

Its not necessary that we look towards rulers to find out our heroes. All the local heroes I mentioned in this thread were not rulers except few like Raja Dahir and Dodo Soomro in case of Sindh.

The reason behind this defeatist mindset not to acknowledge local heroes somehow lies in independence movement, where they even created conflict between Hindi-Urdu. How come you not expect this attitude extending towards heroes based on the religion? While India kept on cebrating Hemu Kalani (a freedom fighter from Sindh during British rule), in his homeland very few people know about him. While before 1947, there were no buildings attributed to MBQ in Sindh (Sindhis have been lesser Muslims as they didn’t acknowledge their savior), but you know the position today.
