Subjects for Indian Muslims’ introspection

India has been and still is the home of many religions. But Muslims are the only people that demanded separate homeland for them and forced partition of India and created Pakistan. In other words Muslims did not consider India as their home. So how many Indian Muslims would now leave India and make Pakistan their home? Why Muslims from Bangladesh and even from Pakistan are coming back to India? If Pakistan was the right thing for Muslims, how come Muslims of Pakistan started killing each other and got herself split into two countries?

Pakistan is now the home of Taliban and al Qaeda and epicentre of international terrorism. It is the country from where thousands of terrorists are sent to different parts of the world to cause mayhem through indiscriminate and brutal killing of completely innocent people. Therefore, was creation of Pakistan the right thing to do?

Is it what they wanted Pakistan to be? Is it not the time to introspect on how they became Muslims in India and take necessary steps to cooperate with the ruling party BJP and its leader Narendra Modi for social and national unity and right thinking and policy for the good of all concerned? It is time to resolve issues and reject sectarian interest.
