According to Manan Ahmed Asif , the '' Chach Nama '' has been historically significant . It was a source of colonial understanding of the origins of Islam in the Indian subcontinent through the Sindh region . The text has been one of the sources of historiography and religious antagonism during the South Asian people 's struggles to gain independence from the colonial British Empire . The text , states Asif , has been a source of a colonial construction of a long history of religious antagonism between Hindus and Muslims , and one of narratives of Muslim origins in South Asia by various twentieth-century historians and writers . It has been a part of state-sanctioned history textbooks of Pakistan . The story of the seventeen-year-old Muhammad bin Qasim 's attack on " Pak-o-Hind " was mentioned by the Pakistani professional Faisal Shahzad prior to his 2010 Times Square car bombing attempt
