But this mental sickness of claiming Arab origin is not specific to the Arains. There are no Muslims in Pakistan who do not believe in true Arab blood for themselves. Even thoroughbred Rajputs, Jats and Gujjars, all Indo-Aryan peoples, sing of some fictitious Arab ancestor, a valorous general to boot, who descended upon the subcontinent with the army of Mohammad bin Qasim. So pervasive is this insanity that it begins to seem that until the coming of the Arabs, India was a land inhabited only by wild beasts.
