To Pakistanis, Muhammad Ali Jinnah is known as Quaid-e-Azam, or 'Great Leader.' A brilliant lawyer, he did his Bar-at-Law at Lincoln's Inn in London, Lastly, an Arab who came to Sind laid the first stone in the foundation of Pakistan. Almost fourteen centuries later, it was someone born in Sind, the Quaid-e-Azam, who established the modern day Pakistan.
==================================================================
Dear Ahmed Quraishi Sahab,
Mohammad Bin Qasim Al Tahqafi nephew and son-in-law of Hajjaj Bin Yousuf had nothing to do with Pakistan's Foundation. This rant we only find in State Backed Pakistan Studies Text Book and it has nothing to do with authentic sources of History i.e. Ibn-e-Khaldun, Kamil Atheer and many others. By the way Hajjaj Bin Yousuf had sent his son-in-law Mohammad Bin Qasim to settle score with Raja Dahir because Raja Dahir had sheltered the murderers of Zaid Bin Aslam [the then Governor of Mekran], the murderers belonged to Shia School of Thought and Zaid Bin Aslam was of Bannu Ummaya. Mohammad Bin Qasim and his uncle Hajjaj would have been very disturbed in their respective graves if they come to know by any chance that their so-called Foundation [as per the article above] has been Hijacked by the Secular Leadership of All India Muslim League which was being led by a leader i.e. Jinnah who was a Follower of Shia School of Thought. Everyone knows the Sentiments of
Hajjaj Bin Yousuf regarding Shias.
The Arabs first came as Traders [NOT AS GENERALS LIKE MOHAMMAD BIN QASIM as mentioned in the article above] but not in Sindh but in South India. Facts are as under:

The first ship bearing Muslim travelers was seen on the Indian coast as early as 630 AD. H.G. Rawlinson, in his book: Ancient and Medieval History of India claims the first Arab Muslims settled on the Indian coast in the last part of the 7th century AD.
Shaykh Zainuddin Makhdum’s “Tuhfat al-Mujahidin� also is a reliable work.This fact is corroborated, by J. Sturrock in his South Kanara and Madras Districts Manuals
and also by
Haridas Bhattacharya in Cultural Heritage of India Vol. IV.
It was with the advent of Islam that the Arabs became a prominent cultural force in the world. The Arab merchants and traders became the carriers of the new religion and they propagated it wherever they went.
The first Indian mosque was built in 612 A.D, at the behest of Cheraman Perumal, during the life time of Muhammad (c. 571–632) in Kodungallur by Malik Bin Deenar. In Malabar the Mappilas may have been the first community to convert to Islam because they were more closely connected with the Arabs than others. Intensive missionary activities were carried out along the coast and a number of natives also embraced Islam. These new converts were now added to the Mappila community. Thus among the Mapilas, we find, both the descendants of the Arabs through local women and the converts from among the local people.
