Afghan government asks Pakistan not to name it's missiles after "Afghan heros."

A few years ago the Afghan government asked Pakistan not to name it's missiles after "Afghan emperors." Some of these "Afghan emperors" are the Ghazvanid and the Ghoris.

Though the Ghazvanid empire might have had it's capital in present-day Afghanistan, their territories spanned all the way from Northern Iran across the Indus into present-day Northern India.
Some of their capitals were even situated in Lahore, a major city of Pakistan.

Not to mention that the Ghazvanids were originally Turkic that later mixed with the Persians. Many Afghan 'Aryan' nationalists are bigoted towards the Altaic/Turanoid Turkic Afghans, so why claim the Ghazvanid Empire as one of their own?

The Ghori empire appeared after the conquest and downfall of the Ghazvanid Empire. All this happened in the 12th century AD, more than 500 years before Afghanistan's establishment as a state.
And even if Afghans want to claim heir to the Ghori empire because it's main bases lay in present-day Afghanistan, by this same reasoning, Pakistan can lay claims to the Mughal Empire which ruled most of Northern India and Bangladesh but had it's main capitals in the Punjab region of Pakistan including Lahore.

In reality, no country can lay claim to a foreign empire just because it used their homeland as a base or a capital area. To claim empires and imperial leaders as your own, they must consist of your people regardless of their geographic locations.
Only Brits can truly claim heir to the British Empire, the French for the French Empire, the Italians for the Roman Empire and so on.

According to New World Encyclopedia, Muhammad Ghori was most likely of Tajik ethnicity.
Though this might have been possible, his army consisted of Turko-Mongols, lessening Afghan claims over this empire. Let not Afghans also forget that Ghori left his Turko-Mongol generals to be his heirs.
