Yeah Sindh was conquered by the Arabs but they didn't really didn't do much after that.
The Turks were the ones to truly establish themselves in the region ... Pakistan follows a Turkic Iranian tradition.
Mahmud Ghaznavi, Muhammad Ghori, and all of the latter dynasties and rulers were Turkish ... they were more influential than the Arabs and ruled longer in the area.
Kababs were supposedly invented by the Iranians and were first being served in the Dehli Sultanate, a Turkish dynasty in South Asia. Arabs didn't invent them nor did they bring them to S. Asia. Pakistan is more culturally related to Iran and the Turkic people than the Arabs. I don't even think they existed back when the Arabs were in control of Sindh and Punjab.
