Pakistan Rawalpindi: The partition of India and Pakistan took place in the year 1947. After partition, Pakistan became a separate country and declared itself an Islamic country. At present, there are many such cities in Pakistan, which are considered very important. One of these is Rawalpindi, where the head quarter of the country’s army is located. In a recent viral video, Pakistani writer Sajjad Azhar revealed that the city of Rawalpindi is named after Hindu ruler Maharana Bappa Rawal.
Pakistani writer Sajjad Azhar was asked about the history of Rawalpindi in an interview. On this, Sajjad Azhar said that the first military post was established in Rawalpindi in the 8th century. That post was set up by Bappa Rawal, the biggest ruler of Rajasthan. In 712 AD, Bappa Rawal overthrew the rule of Arabs from present day Pakistan, in which Mohammed bin Qasim was an Arab ruler.
Establishment of military post
The rule of Arab ruler Mohammad bin Qasim was till Multan. Hindu king Bappa Rawal removed the rule of Mohammad bin Qasim from Multan and forced him to flee to Iran. Hindu king Bappa Rawal drove the Arabs to Afghanistan. When Bappa Rawal returned to Pakistan, he thought of setting up a military post to avoid enemy attacks.

Paks specially army try hard to be Arab/ Turk/ Afghan. But the reality of Hindu ancestry still haunts them. Ever since this region accepted Islam, it hasn’t won a single war. It’s still called ‘martial belt’.pic.twitter.com/LJe7ykRt6b
