@dastarkhon@Neha_Khurana16 avesta was also written the same time. it includes sapta sindhu in iran not india. sikandar saahib by india meant central-east Pak to north india. as you may know, pak isnt actually coherent. you're discussing indian history
@Z3MA8@theLostRooh@asadfacts Muhammad Riza Shah deserves appreciation in our context but for civilizational survival as well as strategic depth Irani (and ultimately ofc Afghan) integration is the barest of necessity.
@Z3MA8@theLostRooh@asadfacts Any connection to Saudi that Pak has is either amplified by orders of magnitude by Iran, or is British. Ur average "national interests" Pak here is deeply connected to Indianism, and (if anything) has an animosity towards the actual "Muslim" connections of Pak (Afgh/Khorasan)
Every Iranian Anglophile should have to watch an hour of the social media posts displaying the bloodthirstyness and psychopathy of random Anglo commoners with 500$ in the bank at most
@hanifaMSUbabar@mehdizafar it doesn't matter how much iran supports india over pakistan per se. pakistan has generally been more pro-american until fairly recently and its "national interests" are widely understood as pro-british factions from the get-go.
@FahamHassan3@MoinNazir4@zaaruchipswala the secularist view about pakistan that it's not about islam makes it obvious geopolitically if one has two brain cells to rub together. Pakistan upon securing national recognition accelerated replacement of Persian with English. Khan sahib tried replacing script, etc
@genzgeopolitics@SquintFeastwood From experience: Pak immigrants are shocked to learn of anti-black/LatAm history. It puts our history to shame.
YMMV but I learned about the caste system in USA school books not at home, & i grew up with strong Indo-Muslim community.
@genzgeopolitics@SquintFeastwood That is bc of British-Indianization & the inversion of Hindostan from imperial center into cheap labor export, this includes the modern Indian identity period. It’s bc of our colonial gusanofication , not because we have some issue w black Africans. Muslims esp - Moors Sudan etc
@full_starship_@mepheb@Nofu_7 British india, previously Hindostan (as in, Persianate province of the Darya ī Sind), which the former and now Republic of India doesnt believe in, & īs attempting to wipe from history books
@genzgeopolitics@SquintFeastwood Yeah model immigrant minority etc stuff. Go to some village in Pak you will not find anyone even familiarity with a conception of blackness outside of American culture. Exception being Afro-Makranis who are Iranis
@YousufBadghisi I agree with you. However you also said that ā Pākistān that was limited to east of Indus would be a good ally to Afghanistan with Iran.
Doesn’t this and their thirst for colonizing/Indianizing Balochistan & KPK provide sufficient evidence to consider reanalyzing such a claim?
For those unaware, it was at Iran’s behest that Asim Munir was dismissed from his DG-ISI position by Imran Khan back in 2019.
After accompanying him on the trip to Iran, the Iranians brought to attention of IK that he was not to be trusted. Right after returning back to Pakistan, Imran dismissed him.
