Of course...more than half of them routinely raise their hands every 5 years to the dynasty and the masters.

So nothing surprising there.

>>> Vikram Chandra is a dumb fellow. Asking the audience in Delhi whether they want reunification is really silly when Pakistanis do not want it. India is already having a hard time dealing with SIMI and Indian Mujahideeen.

Reunification now is a disaster for hindus. Only the PiSSniks and iSlamists will want unification so that the hindus can be enslaved very quickly using moghulism on them. Within 2 elections, the muslims will be a CLEAR majority and we all know that they all vote enblock like sheep for anyone as long as he is a muslim (how many muslim women are in Parliament?). Before you know they will be all over India buying away properties (anyone know of someone who has bought a muslim house in US or in India?)

Even the RSS has stopped blabbering about Akhand Bharat.

We have no objection if northern India and any south state who want to be with them join Pak and form a country. Afterall Hindians and Pakistanis are the same people divided by religion about a 1000 years ago.

Muthuvel Karunanidhi had the right idea in 1975. When there is turmoil in New Delhi try to declare independence for Tamil Nadu.

Dr. Thanjai Nalankilli has also expressed a similar view in 1998.
"Yes, it is possible. None of the Tamil Nationalists, including myself, is under any illusion that the liberation of Tamil Nadu from Indian rule (Hindian rule, actually) will be easy or quick. Under certain geo-political situations it could be easy and quick but the development of such a situation is beyond anyone's control. Such geo-political situations emerge through unforeseen random events. Even for Tamil Nadu to get its freedom under such a fortune circumstance, there must be an "independence movement" ("freedom movement") alive and in place. Let me give an example."

most ignorants ( and most indians are ignorants ) dont realize that muslim population is increasing . so they vote for reunification .

The third set is a section of secular people. Akhand bharat types want some kind of Hindu rashtra, but secular people want united India under a strong, secular govt.

I disagree. I think the reverse is true and many people in both India and Pakistan are getting fed up of religious fundamentalism and extremism. As evidence of what I say, consider the fact that the following article, pleading for reunification of India with Pakistsn was published in a leading Pakistani paper this year:

http://www.nation.com.pk/pakistan-news-newspaper-daily-english-online/columns/02-Mar-2013/the-truth-about-pakistan

I doubt if such an article questioning the very existence of Pakistan could have been published in the earlier history of Pakistan.

>>>I will get to the article a little later today. Briefly, here is my POV:

Religion is an integral part of the culture and cannot be wished away; the best you can do on this front is put distance between it and governance (the true secular model). The problem is that Islamic societies are not able to pull this off, because of the nature of the religion which has diktats on governance. Turkey is the only exception to this and it had to be dragged screaming and kicking into this model by a dictatorial Kemal Ataturk to accomplish this and even decades after this transformation, it is still a 'push and pull' scenario with Islamists having to be kept at bay by the army.

Pakistan is a pariah state, even within the Islamic world, as it is a one-trick pony ('land of the pure' nonsense). It survived from handouts from America which naively thought it was going to be this great buffer against the Soviets, not thinking beyond this. The Soviets crashed and we are left with the 'epicenter' of terrorism. After six decades of independence, the country is still a feudalistic society and an economic basket-case, with various terrorist groups having the run of the place. India by contrast, whatever its problems, is a force to be reckoned with, in terms of global commerce and as a stable democracy. Why take on the additional burden of reincorporating a people who have never known a functioning democracy or a vibrant economy or an enlightened view of religious plurality?

indonesia has a per capita gdp greater than india's, a sex ratio better than india's, female literacy rate of 86.6% compared to india's 65.5%, an infant mortaility rate of 26.6/1000 as opposed to india's 44.6/1000. i could go on and on.

Indonesia as a country switched over and Adapted iSlam....it did not grow by killing hindus - which they were earlier.

iSlamic societies dont read mahabharata and take hindu names and put up Saraswati statues in front of their embassies. Indonesia is a hindu society that follows iSlam.

>>>My broader point about Islamic societies was that they are not amenable to secularism, due to the nature of the religion (Turkey being an exception, albeit a precarious one). The economic backwardness was a point I made specifically about Pakistan. I am not that familiar with Indonesia's situation, but there was a simplification of the national language with much fewer letters, a move that resulted in literacy rates taking a huge leap (if I recall correctly). I am more familiar with Malaysia, which could also come out better on many metrics, but even in that society, there is fundamentalist creep and second class citizenship of Hindus.

It probably isn't any different in Indonesia either. I had a friend who was from Indonesia. He is someone with chinese origins, whose ancestors immigrated to Indonesia. He is a christian and was so glad to be out of Indonesia. He talked about the discrimination and acrimony he had to face in the muslim majority community. According to him, life wasn't easy there for a non-muslim.

Indonesia's iSlam came through India and is quite mild. Wahabis consider it half-kafir. Just imagine a Muslim country with hindu names for people and institutions (sukarna, Meghavati, Susila, putra, putri, Garuda.....) and that allows a place like Bali to succeed.

If you want to choose a gold standard for iSalamic countries, choose Saudi Arabia, Nigeria or PakiSatan.

Coming to Rashmun's topic on reunification of India with Pakis, I suppose sikular fukularists would like to do that for vote bank politics. CONmen are a worried lot. They are scared in their pants that they will be booted out of power in 2014. So, in desperation, they may even invite Bihari Muslims of Bangldesh, ai Qaeda and the Taliban into India. They sell their mothers if that brings them power and money.

by truthbetold Sun Nov 03, 2013 6:21 pm

I would guess there would be a large segment of Indian Muslims who would oppose any direct link with Pakistan or its mullahs.
it is true that Islam has pan national links and small segments of Islamits go over national borders.
but Islam has national character . Arabic area Islamists are closely related culturally but malaysian and Indonesia Muslims are a different culture and seem to process data differently. similarly Muslims of south Africa and west Indies think and act differently.
after 60 years of total separation majority of Indian Muslims think very differently from their Pakistani counterparts. the good news is that 1947 happened. India moved on.

no it isn't inevitable. it is entirely evitable. i share nothing in common with the millions of highly devout pakistanis to whom religion is more important than co-existence, wonderment at art and science, and the freedom to live as one pleases.

Hyderabadi Muslims are different from UP Muslims. Hyderabadi Muslims have their own political party which always wins assembly and Lok Sabha seats from Muslim areas in Hyderabad. In contrast, UP Muslims do not have their own party. They vote for the strongest non-BJP candidate (SP, BSP, or Cong typically). The situation is similar in Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, etc. Hyderabad also has a history of frequently occurring communal incidents and riots post independence. This can be contrasted with a city like Lucknow which has not seen communal riots after independence.

Hyderabadi hindus are also more communal than UP Hindus as per my observation.
