If not Ghaznavi and Ghauri, then who?

To be converted you have to destroy your past, destroy your history. You have to stamp on it, you have to say 'my ancestral culture does not exist, it doesn’t matter.- VS Naipaul

Let me quote you example of this thought, where Moen Jo Daro civilisation was disowned in Sindh.

@muqawwee123

I was reading Shaikh Ayaz’s book, where he mentioned his memories of visiting Taxila and Moen Jo Daro. He stated that local people don’t know the importance of such places and if one start reading visitors book placed there, he would amazed to know how much importance foreign visitors give to visit such places. For some people its dream come true to visit such places.

In Moen Jo Daro’s visitors book, Shaikh Ayaz referred to comments of world famous historians like Toynbee and told about the excitement of the famous writer Agatha Christie, while visiting the place.

He then mentions an incident of meeting a bureaucrat in LaRkana (city near Moen Jo Daro) after the visit of Moen Jo Daro. The bureaucrat asked Shaikh Ayaz, wherefrom he was coming (watching dirt on his shoes)? Shaikh Ayaz replied from Moen Jo Daro. He said my children also insisted to visit the place, but I only went upto Rest house and not allowed the children to visit that place full of dirt. Shaikh Ayaz said that is the dirt of our ancestors. Our ancestors live and breathed there. The reply from bureaucrat say it all about our attitudes towards history. He said ‘Shaik Saheb, that might be your ancestors. Our ancestors came from Arab’.
