You guys are telling each other about "converted". I never understood this mentality. Why to feel offended about it ? At some point in time our ancestors did converted to Islam. Someone's ancestors might have converted 800 years ago, other's might have converted 200 years ago. But each and single soul in Pakistan today should accept the fact that our ancestors were hindus or whatever religion was present in our regions. We are not arabs. Whichever arabs (or even arab armies) came in whatever period of time they represented only a fraction or perhaps 0.00001% of total population of the region. So probability that someone is decendant of arabs is virtually none. BTW, even arabs are all 100% converted. Even the first muslim (other than the Prophet himself) was converted too. Everyone accepted Islam.
Now I tell you why it should be proud thing to know that you all are converted. Because having courage to accept a different faith from your father and ancestors is a big deal. Nobody change faith out of fear. In india, Islam spread solely on basis of Dawah. The afghan invaders only stopped the spread of islam as they never came for Dawah but came to loot and rape. So people only stopped converting seeing Afghan invaders otherwise whole of india would have been muslim today. A practical example is indonesia and malaysia. Both converted to islam solely on basis of Dawah. There was not a single conquest of these lands by muslim armies.
So feel proud that at some point in history your ancestor converted. Otherwise how on earth you'd be what you are today. Be proud on indus valley civilization, be proud on the name india, hind, hindustan, indian ocean and all are derived from indus valley civilization which is our ancient history. Pakistan is home to indus valley civilization. Which is by far the ancient civilization of india.
