The story is same in Chechnaya, Egypt, Morocco, Pakistan, Bangladesh or India. Some woke ethnofascists have been given job to taunt muslims whenever they take pride in muslim achievements & urge them to celebrate only heroes belonging to their own ethnic background.

Muslims of Middle East & North Africa are told that they were colonialised by "Turkey" for 500 years and they should not take pride in Ottoman Arab achievements. In Morocco, Berber- Arab strife is ignited and similarly manipulated by vested interests.

In Turkey, it is taught that Arabs betrayed them, forgetting the sacrifices of hundreds of thousands "Ottoman Arabs" who died in Gallipoli and elsewhere. The 5000 odd horseman of Sharif represent the whole Arabs while 100,000 who died in WW1 are forgotten as is the fact.

..that plebiscite in 1920s in any Arab city would have favoured reunion with muslims of Anatolia is overlooked. (Reason why plebiscite in Mosul was refused)
Afro muslims are also fed poison and their Islamic history manipulated to show them as victims of "Arab colonialism".

Similarly, there is attempt in subcontinent to divide contribution of Muslims pre-British & attribute them to their supposed nationalities (which were strangely invented 100 years ago). It is implied that there was no Islamic heritage in India.

In that era, Muslim India became the prime destination for hijrat by muslim scholars, intellectuals, artists, royals of Mongol occupied Central Asia & middle east. As a result, Muslim India became the prime center of Islamic world.

Untouchables who converted to Islam, former Slaves of Abyssynia, native nobels who became muslims, muslims from Turkic, Afghan, Persian & African backgrounds fought together for 100+ years to keep off the Mongols from subcontinent.

Instead, we are taught about the ethnic origin of kings and history attributed to their supposed countries, to put a sense of permanent inferiority complex among subcontinent muslims.

This experiment has been completed in many regions and now being tried on Muslims of India. It should be reemphasized that all short- sighted attempts to accept such versions will leave us vulnerable to permanent insecurity with devastating consequences...
