Controversy
Detractors of Sharifistan have called this anthem "jingoistic" and represents the "Sharifistani obsession with war." Nonetheless apologists of Sharifistan point out that the song never explicitly mentions aggressive war and represents patriotic defence of country and the piety of the Khan dynasty.
