Firstly, as you are aware Islam enforces the Superiority of Arabic and then the Bedouin Culture along with its Names, Dietary code, Dress code etc. on the Kafirs who have been Bestowed or forced into âEnlightenmentâ i.e. Conversion to Islam.
As such the Muslims of the Indian Sub-Continent accept the âInvadingâ Heroes as their Heroes and thus it is quite logical for the Pakistanis to name their various âProductsâ with Arabic Names or the names of Islamic Heroes.
Regarding the name Sikander : It is the Arabic-Islamic version of <b>Alexander</b>
Secondly I do agree that Sri V S Naipaul has correctly understood and analysed the Muslim. However, his views may get blinkered a he has married a Pakistani Lahori Muslim Woman - who has a couple a children from her earlier husband(s) - and I will not be surprised if Sri V S Naipaul also receives âEnlightenmentâ
