Ok, you’ve piqued my curiosity. I might go see the thing after all.

But when are we going to see the movie made about the hundreds of years of Islamic conquests and Jihadic crusades and offensive wars of Imperialism that Muslim armies attended to before and after the Christian Crusades? In which Muslims were not victims but offenders, against Christians, Pagans, Zoroastrians, Hindus and others? When will we see this film made, these aspects of Islamic Imperialism and religious crusading studied with humility and honesty?

Dear Cheetah,

I think we’ve already seen quite a few of those movies, haven’t we? Follwoing exactly the same ‘Jihadic’ logic?

I have seen enough of them, Made in India, to last me a lifetime.

For a truly unhinged view of early medieval Indian hisotry, watch Prithviraj Chauhan, the black and white version…

Every nation has its heros and work of their heros is a direct measure of worthyness, greatness and credibility of the respective nations.

Arabic, Greek,European, Americans, Israelis all have their heros. Even in Pakistan, Pakhtoons, Baluch, Sindhis and Saraikies have their real world recognised heros. But we the Punjabies are misfortunate that we dont have any record of resistance which our forefathers offered to invadors from Farghana, Ghazni, Greece, Afghanistan and the Great Britin. Rather they had been saluting and serving the invadors and getting material benifits. That is why, we the Punjabies are today prosperous nation as compared to other four nations of pakistan, but we are moral less, bad history of being best servant and worst rulers. We should learn lessons from the past and must liberate pakistan and Pakistanies whom heritage we are urging to forcibly own as for example Khawja Ghulam Fareed is a great Saraiki poet, but we have included his name in Punjabies poettery, saraiki is more ancient language than punjabi, but we are declaring this great language as a punjabi dilect.

No doubt we also have great religious heros such as baba Bhulee Shah, Shah Hussain etc, but at the same time our political heros like mahraja Hari Singh, Ranjeet Singh dont possess a credible position in the world. We must be shameful for our political heros of the past as well as of th present who dont have any moral values except to salute to the powerfull for their mean and personal gains.
