The problem between us and our Muslim brothers:
Have you watched live on the ground when an
Indian team plays a cricket match in England? Most of the Indians, even those
settled there permanently as its citizens, root for the Indian team. Likewise
any Indian in the USA supports India's stand when faced with a common issue
between the USA and India. Muslim politicians in India have created in the
minds of Indian Muslims a false sense that they belong to Pakistan and that
makes them feel uncomfortable in assimilating themselves with all other
Indians. Naturally, any slight which they would have ignored if they were in
Pakistan hurts them very much here. Again naturally, as it happens in the USA
and the UK, local citizens feel quite annoyed at their feeling of separation.
When our politicians do not have to depend on their en mass votes they will
stop provoking Indians against them and this will lead to normalization in due
course. It is not easy. The scars of partition and the death of millions is
still fresh in the minds of family members. It will take a couple of more
generations for that to dissolve in time. Let's all wait and meanwhile make an
honest effort to bring Muslims to the mainstream.
