That emotional impulse is understandable, but it is also dangerous when not disciplined by history. The source material is striking on this point because it does not merely mention Khorasan in passing; it shows people arguing openly over whether Pakistan belongs there at all, with some rejecting the claim bluntly and others mocking the search for “lore” that flatters identity rather than clarifying reality. One source line explicitly says west of the Indus is not Khorasan, while others ridicule the need to force Pakistan into an imagined civilizational frame simply because it sounds spiritually grand.
