Re: Place names in Pakistan need to be changed
Anyone who suggests such a thing is an idiot, dhobi ka kutta na ghar ka na ghat ka.
You made my blood boil, the Arabs are our brethren but we are equal to them, they are not superior to us, why the hell should we name our cities after them?
Time and time again I’ve proven that Sanskrit is a Pakistani language and not of Indian origin rather the Indians acquired it from our regions a long time ago.
Those that freed our country from British rule in the name of Islam were idiots for trying to promote Arab-o-Persian culture in the name of Islam, Arab cultural imperialism is not required by Islam.
Natural cultural evolution and fusion of cultures is inevitable but forcing unnatural cultures reeks of inferiority complexes…
Language whether it be Sanskrit or something else is separate from religion, it is the liturgical language of Hinduism just as Punjabi is the liturgical language of Sikhism and Arabic of Islam but Muslims speak Punjabi and Arab Christians and Arabised Jews speak Arabic so we can maintain Sanskrit without adhering to Vedic beliefs…
I know plenty of Pakistanis who have Sanskrit names, especially in the rural regions.. It is only the urban folk (usually secular) of Pakistan who think they are being modern by having unpronounceable Perso-Arabic names because they confuse foreign culture with Islam…
Arabic names are beautiful but they shouldn’t be adopted due inferiority complex but rather for closeness to our beloved ones such as ‘Muhammad’ after our wonderful Prophet :saw: or ‘Ali’ after Ameer ul-Momineen :as:/

The Persians were once Non-Muslim but when they became Muslim they maintained their names (even other Muslims started adopting them e.g. Parvez, Sheereen, Mahtab, Aftab), they even maintained their pre-Islamic names for Allaah such as Khoda, Ahura-Mazda, Yazdan etc.
