When Afghans invaded territories that are in Pakistan today and reigned it for decades, they became part of our history.
Like I've stated before, naming of missiles after those hero's is an effictive political game to piss off Indians and therefor very sellectively chosen.
For example, Indian missile 'Prithvi' was testfired before Pakistani "Ghori'
Read the history between Gori and Prithviraj;

But after getting married to Sanyogita; Prithviraj lost all propriety of the duties of a ruler and gave all his attention to his 'Queen of Hearts'. While their extended honeymoon was on, the wily Ghori was planning his invasion of India to avenge his past defeats. Prithviraj ignored repeated warnings from his courtiers that Ghori's attack was imminent. When Prithviraj, woke up from his infatuation it was too late. His very large but ill-prepared army had to face defeat at the hands of Ghori’s small but well-prepared army in the battlefield of Tarain and he himself was captured and killed by the enemy. And Delhi came under Muslim rule that was to last the next 700 years. The freedom of the country was also imperilled after the fall of Prithviraja III at the hands of Muhammad Ghori after the second battle of Terain (1192 A.D.). The Pauranika points to the political blunder of the Chahamana ruler who was succumbed in sensuous slumber in the company of his newly acquired wife Samyogita [or Samyukta]. Prithviraj was enjoying with the company of his newly acquired wife sanyogita when the enemy was pounding at the gates of delhi.

Prithviraj's forces had 500,000 horses, 50,000 elephants and 5,000,000 warriors. Though the Hindus had great numerical strength than muslims they were all massacred by Ghori in second battle. Prithvi was cruelly killed by Ghori and Sanyogita killed herself as she was cruelly raped by Ghori. More than 3,500,000 rajput soldiers were killed in the battlefield itself.

The irony of the matter is that India still has numerical advantage over Pakistan, so the paralell with the history is very interesting and quite amusing if you're a Pakistani
