Re: Were Muslims ever persecuted in India?
^pre-partition level of religious violence was miniscule, especially when given the context of per capita and territorial size....villages, towns, and urban areas were all religiously inter-mixed. it wasn't until after partition that muslims and hindus/sikhs separated into their own communities (i'm referring to India, obviously Pakistan was separate), and that separation remains relatively intact in India today, causing people to assume that religious stratification and separation has been standard practice throught Indian history - and that is simply false. some people just refuse to accept that the two-nation theory was a means of political mobilization first, and a humanitarian effort a distant second or third.
