Jiye Jiye Pakistan?
Our brothers in Pakistans get sadistic pleasure in naming their missiles after the invaders from Afghanistan. The missiles are usually called Ghaznavi, Ghori, etc. Names that sent Punjab, Sindh and surrounding areas of the Indian subcontinent shivering with fright because of their brutality. After all, they were battle hardened Afghan and Central Asians descending from the world's roughest neighbourhood.
However, most of the places these people attacked are in what is now Pakistan. And when a new generation of battle hardened men are descending from the mountains, isn't it time for the Punjabis and Sindhis who run that country to rename their missiles or will they just surrender and claim how prophetic their naming skills are?

Don't know about the rechristening part, but they are definitely hurtling and at breakneck speed towards a breakdown. Wonder where this is leading that nation?
I like your photos. Thanks for sharing. Regarding Pak - very sad. So many people have been thru that region throughout history. To get an interesting perspective on the invaders - esp Mahmud of Ghazni check out the book, Somanatha, The many voices of history by Romila Thapar. Wish our school history books were as interesting.

Sad part is trouble in Pak, will be more problematic for us. It is a free pass to our place.
