Praneet we have gotten so used to this master religion behavior on the part of Muslims that we seem to IM's are many times better than Paki Muslims, but are they really?
What does the average Hindu think of when he sees a Sardar today, the image in general would be that of a honest, patriotic citizen of a so called martial community. Did that image come about in a vaccuum or did the Sikh community earn it?
If the Sikhs (a miniscule minority) have no problem in achieving (or should I say overachieving) in many fields such as military, sports, law enforcement etc. Then why is it that a 13% minority still cries discrimination and blames everyone except themselves for their situation?
If we want to compare, then let us compare IM's with other so called minorities like Sikhs, do you see Sikhs bursting crackers when Pakistan wins or hoisting Paki flags (just day before yesterday the madrasa students in Assam took out an open rally with Paki flags), even during the worst days of the Khalistan movement these things were not regular happenings.
One cannot wish away this problem, we have to understand that Islam is an effective barrier against the coexistence of Muslims and non Muslims, today since we are still close to 80% we can afford to repeat secular sayings, but what happens when we become, say 70%, would we be willing to become a minority in India (secularism in its truest sense would have no problem with that either)?
How many Hindus or for that matter Christians or Sikhs would be secular enough to sit and watch while the country becomes a Muslim majority?
The way I see it, sometimes we have to make choices that are hard and may even go against dharma for sheer survival and if forcible conversion of Pakis is one of them then so be it, I look at the last thousand years and all I see is our slow reatreat, maybe it's about time that we use some of their own tactis on the Pakis to teach them a lesson of their life.
