What do Pakistani Muslims know of History? ZILCH!
Pakistani media, quote: "It has been claimed that Bappa Rawal, a ruler from Mewar and Jaisalmer, constructed garrisons throughout his kingdom, including one at the present-day location of Rawalpindi. As a result, the city came to be named Rawalpindi after him. Bappa Rawal is also said to have fought against Muhammad Bin Qasim and preventing invaders from northwest from entering the region. It is important to note that this narrative appears to be driven by a Hindutva agenda to rewrite history for political purposes and strategic goals. No credible sources support these claims. The proponents of this version lack historical grounding."

Legendary author Rudyard Kipling mentions Bappa Rawal in his novel, "The King's Ankus - from The 2nd Jungle Book"

Quote:
"‘The city—the great city of the forest whose gates are guarded by the King’s towers—can never pass. They builded it before my father’s father came from the egg, and it shall endure when my son’s sons are as white as I! Salomdhi, son of Chandrabija, son of Viyeja, son of Yegasuri, made it in the days of Bappa Rawal. Whose cattle are ye?’"

[Page 155, line 29] Salomdhi, son of Chandrabija, son of Viyeja, son of Yegasuri, made it in the days of Bappa Rawal. These are the names of kings from over a thousand years before. Kim Bastin has noted that ihe names in question appear in slightly different forms at the foot of page 100 of Prinsep: Useful Tables, forming an appendix to The Journal of the Asiatic Society (Calcutta 1834)

"he never held any religious doctrine"
"He was cremated at Golders Green, Middlesex, and the ashes were buried in Poets' Corner, Westminster Abbey, on 23 January. "

Oh, light was the world that he weighed in his hands!
Oh, heavy the tale of his fiefs and his lands!
He has gone from the guddee and put on the shroud,
And departed in guise of bairagi avowed!

Now the white road to Delhi is mat for his feet.
The sal and the kikar must guard him from heat.
His home is the camp, and waste, and the crowd -
He is seeking the Way as bairagi avowed!

He has looked upon Man, and his eyeballs are clear -
(There was One; there is One, and but One, saith Kabir);
The Red Mist of Doing has thinned to a cloud -
He has taken the Path for bairagi avowed!

To learn and discern of his brother the clod,
Of his brother the brute, and his brother the God,
He has gone from the council and put on the shroud
("Can ye hear?" saith Kabir), a bairagi avowed!

Bappa Rawal in a sense had broken the myth that Indian Kings could not unite against foreign invaders to protect the mother land. The fake narrative to divide and derecognize them has been in history books for too long

mughal empire crashed due to the british. You people have been ruled by different groups for a millenia. If the muslims wanted they could have removed hinduism from th face of the planet, but they protected your right of faith, so show respect towards them for protecting you.

First, Allah created the Light; then, by His Creative Power, He made all mortal beings.
