i think the muslim percentage in UP is 17-18 %. at any rate, any comments on the fact that UP muslims prefer not to have their own party (unlike the AP muslims)?

I'm sure you're aware that MIM is confined to Hyd only, even within Hyd they do not have any reach outside of the old city. So in general A.P muslims are like U.P muslims wonly.

i recently read that the MIM is looking to expand their area of influence which is one reason why they snapped ties with the congress.

And you think they've a chance! If they did and win then you should be the happiest person, your dream "hindu-muslim synthesis" came true. What are you complaining about

what i want to know is why hyderabadi muslims are communal--to the extent that they have their own party which is a mainstream party--and Lucknow muslims are not. i also wish to know why every telugu i have come across on this forum (and on sulekha) has been communal to varying extents. it seems to me that the wounds inflicted by Razakars and the subsequent Police Action have not yet completely healed.

What percentage of present A.P was ruled by the Nizams you think!

the vast majority of communal incidents in AP have been taking place in hyderabad which is the largest city with the maximum population in AP and hyderabad was within the Nizam's domain.

But when you say every telugu you're referring to 70 mil. of them!

i had specified that i was referring to 'every telugu i have come across on this forum' (by which i am referring to self-proclaimed telugus on this forum and on sulekha). In real life i know an elderly telugu gentleman, a very scholarly man who is one of the most hard core secularists i have ever come across. This man is a hindu but he respects the Nizams for doing development work, for being secular (and not communal), for giving scholarships to deserving hindu students, etc.
