Re: why are Indian muslims such 'nationalists'?
In 1947, Muslims had a choice. Those who could not co-exist with Hindus decided to form their own country - Pakistan. Those that stayed back were happy co-existing with Hindus the way they had done for ages.
Pakistani Muslims are Muslims first & Pakistani later. Indian Muslims are Indian first. Thats the basic difference between the mindset of Indian & Pakistani muslims.
