lets get back to 1947 we where one counrty..

Thanks, but no thanks! Muslims still faces a lot of discrimination in India. The job ratio of muslims is still very low. Nevertheless, we should be friends not foesRecommend

Its a nice gesture from both sides. The need is to build on these initiatives but these gestures remain gestures only. No one as the will to be constructive. Governments come and go and overall situation remain almost the same. I am an Indian and i would like to mention a few things from the perspective of a common man. 1. We do not hate people on the basis of religion. 2. Even if we do not try, because of having so many religions makes us more tolerant automatically. We have to be accommodating and as we come close we start loving each other. 3. We all have friends across religions and we never treat them with bias. In fact festivals become even more important when we share with each other. 4. Our politicians, how much ever corrupt they are, how much ever dishonest they are, largely they do not make offensive statements. 5. In our schools (i know about Hindu schools, though they are not restricted to hindus, muslims prefer to go to Madrasas), we are never taught that a particular religion is bad. History lessons never tell us bad about Pakistan. 6. Muslims across India are doing jobs in various sectors and proportion is equal or better than the educated muslims. There are reservations for minorities for education as well as jobs. How much ever bad it is for us, we feel proud when we see that our nation protects everyone.
Now, the problems that India has and unfortunately media exaggerates, are because of this amazing diversity. Show me any other country with 300 languages and still united. One country with so many religions and with no conflict. India is progressing because people are starting understanding what is important. Problems are there in areas where awareness is not there, otherwise people do not care about what is the name of God. Recommend

India was never “one country”. It’s always been a conglomeration of many entities. It was only under the British that the many nationalities, ethinic and religious groups came under one gov’t. Even then, the British Raj did not fully extend to the Princely states, like Bhopal.

So, what “one country” era are you wanting to go back to buddy?Recommend

Don India was one country much before British or the arrival of Islam. Look up the Maurya empire which was bigger than even british India Recommend

“As for Muslims not doing well in India just look up India’s 3rd richest man is Muslim

I rest my case.”

How easy is it to rest your case!

But frankly, yours is a silly argument. That the third richest person of India is Muslim or not has absolutely no bearing on the economic predicament of over a hundred million Muslims in that country. Or is he a state within a state who is funneling all his money to the impoverished and has taken to himself to extricte the plight of the millions of Muslims in India?Recommend
