Re: Why Muslim women were mutilated in Gujarat
If something acceptable to you happens (in this case Keralites achieving almost 100% literacy) then it is a state government achievement and somehow you won't give credit to India. But if something wrong occurs, you jump up and down about the Indians in general and Hindus in general.
That's not necessarily true. I blame the Gujarat state government for the 2002 riots, not Indian society as a whole. I blame UP's state administration for letting Babri Masjid be torn down.
And I blame India as a whole for systematic discrimination against Muslims...in much the same way that you blame Pakistan as a whole for its treatment of Hindus.
Secondly since you admit that at least since 1940 that all sorts of people, not only elite or middle-class were attending Jinnah's rally, you can hardly characterize the muslim masses as apolitical.
The vast majority of those people were supporting the Muslim League though...even in what is now India.
So picking back up from the original point, the fact that almost as many are in India as they are in Pakistan, goes to show that not all muslims believed that India would be rotten to them.
As I already pointed out, at the time of Partition, more than 2/3 of the Subcontinent's Muslims "opted" for Pakistan...nor was there any significant Muslim migration from Pakistan to India.
And as history and current events have proved since then, except for a handful of events, over a 60+ year duration, the 150M+ muslims of India have enjoyed peace
Meh...the same could be said of Pakistan's non-Muslim population.
that almost no other muslim community has enjoyed elsewhere.
That's just absurd and you know it.
