Re: What if -
It didn’t do so badly for India. Even though discrimination exists in society the laws treat everyone equally. Any Indian, of any religion, can aspire toward any position in government. The PM of the country is Sikh, a minority, and a Christian is the main mind behind the government. There are personal laws for different religions. Muslims are free to marry 4 wives, no inhibitions on niqab/hijab(unlike in some western countries/European), and are given allowances for Hajj by the government.
Sunni, Shia and Ahmaydiya are given freedom to practice their religion and are given protection from fatwas. Are there many other secular non-Muslim majority countries that allow these rules? While the Muslim board of India does not consider Ahmadiya Muslims the government makes no difference. The Bharatya Muslim Mahila Andolen in India has set up women run Shariah courts which will deal with matters of divorce, polygamy, child and property rights.

You might mention mob violence and riots but they have occurred against number of minorities (Muslims, Sikhs) and though justice is slow and not enforceable there is hope it will eventually occur. Similarly, the victims of mob violence, such as from earlier this yr when Christians were targeted in Pakistan, have not had complete justice yet.

Also, previously you mentioned that Pakistani culture is influenced by festivals like Diwali and hindu festivals. But how can that be the case when such a small % of Pakistanis of poor socioeconomic status belong to those religions. Is it from Indian tv or Bollywood that this influence is there because I don’t see any hindu influences at all in Pakistani society, media or entertainment. It is a proud Muslim society. If that is the case then does Hollywood have a Christian influence on Pakistan?
How many secular non Muslim majority countries recognise Muslim personal law? All religious holidays are given holidays in India from Islamic, Christian, Hindu and Sikh holidays.? India is not perfect and is not even completely secular because it has personal laws for different religions but most citizens feel accepted.
There is social discrimination against some Muslims, even like Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi, from some housing committees in society (not from constitution) but there is also police protection for them against fatwas.

While there is communal disharmony there is also communal harmony. This is a police commissioner in India, a Hindu, who is praising Islam in his speech to other police officers.

Besides there is no obligation that Pakistan’s constitution follow India’s constitution. If there is a better constitution, whether that be western or middle eastern or Turkish, there should be full freedom to follow it.
