Waris Shah says about Pathan looters

"Wang Kabuli kuttian gird hoyan dow dow alalhisab laga gayyan.”

again on their defeat in 1761 Waris Shah again says

"Yey, ya Rab toon mehrban hoyon, tadey pher Choghatian da raj hoya

Toen diti shikast Qandharian noon, Dilli walian day sir taj hoya."

However kids have been taught about those Afghan invaders/looters (Ahmed Shah, Nadir Shah, Sultan Mehmood of Gazni) having been painted as Islam & Muslims' rescuers in Indian-subcontinent, among whom Ahmed Shah was invited by a UPite Shah Waliullah Dehlvi through letter/s: who had 40,000 Afghans and Persians, 13,000 Indian Afghan cavalry and 38,000 Indian Afghan infantry, with 70 pieces of cannon borrowed from the Indian allies (‘History of the Pathans’ by Brig (R) Haroon Rashid)...

It clearly shows/proves that exactly like an Afghan Muzaffar Khan Durrani/Pathan of Multan region in Punjab, how racist/disloyal/thankless Afghan settlers were/are in other Indian regions; whose 13,000 Indian Afghan cavalry and 38,000 Indian Afghan infantry rather played the role of 5th columnists by aiding foreign Afghan/Pathan Ahmed Shah against the locals...

So how could a native sage like Waris Shah through his rich language be allowed to be taught to the native kids finally to know the truth he described in his historical couplets without mincing the words...Pakistani establishment shall have to change the racist UPites' narrative through which religion/s (specifically Islam) has been maligned and used to loot & de facto rule by inviting outsiders in order to subjugate and plunder the local nations/humans...

This is the high time to replace Hindus' "shudhee" sort of version of fanatic Islam/religion with the Sufis version of real Islam/religion to bring harmony, magnanimity, prosperity and peace among multiple segments of Punjabi, Sindhi, Pathan and Balochi society by promoting local/national/provincial languages all having rich Sufi literature: as it is the sole way of our progress and unity...!!
