A True Muslim Intellectual's viewpoint (Worrying Signs for the long term future of India)

My Summary of what he is trying to convey:
Current Indian Muslim leadership are Political Islamists and they along with possibly a vast majority of Indian Muslims, do not inherently believe in secularism, and would not want it if they are in a Majority. Current version of secularism is distorted. No explanation has been given for what is true secularism as applied to Muslims. But given that Indian Muslims are in a Minority it is better to fight for it.
Though he has acknowledged the failure of Sickularism and its distortions, if an educated Muslim thinks like this and acknowledges that Muslims inherently may not favor secularism, it is a big failure of the Indian education system and a big worry for the future of India.
Details
Though he does not openly say it, it is alleged that these are his main points.
a) Indian Muslim Leadership has been appropriated by Political Islamists (who are inherently non-secular and against constitution)
b) There is a strong perception that Congress style secularism is Divisive. It confirms Modi's point, and thanks
to all those who had the courage to call spade a spade and use the term "Sickular" to isolate these folks.
c) Muslims refuse to openly acknowledge the fact that India is secular only because of Hinduism.
d) Muslims also do not appreciate secularism (truth is out in the open)
e) Political Islamist Muslims leadership is using Secularism only to advance a sectarian agenda. (Political Islamism)
f) Secularism is being used by Political Islamist Muslim leadership for religious causes
g) Sachar Committee report actually indicts the Muslim leadership too for not doing enough for the welfare of Muslims.
h) So Called Secular parties (SP was named) have abused Secularism in return for Electoral patronage
i) Muslims in India (left to themselves) may not actually favor Secularism, but feel they need it more than
Hindus in India, given that they are a minority at a pan-Indian level.
k)Muslims do not believe that they are being appeased.
(k) makes a lot of sense given point (i).
