Indian Muslims have been marginalized in the political life of India, and often atrocities are committed on them, and they have to suffer discrimination and humiliation, being branded as terrorists, bigots, anti-nationals, and what not. I have always comdemned this. I am a humble disciple of the great Mughal Emperor Akbar, who propagated the policy of suleh-e-kul, or giving equal respect to all religions and communities.

But how did this marginilization and victimization happen to a community consisting of 15-16 % of India’s population?
Firstly, this was the direct consequence of Partition of India in 1947 on the basis of the bogus 2 nation theory, which was a British swindle to keep Hindus and Muslims fighting each other, and prevent united India from emerging as a mighty industrial giant, like another China ( for which it has all the potential ).

When India was divided and Pakistan was declared as an Islamic state, it logically followed that India would be a Hindu state, with non Hindus as second rate citizens ( just as in Pakistan non Muslims are second rate citizens ).
For a long time after Independence the ruling Congress party portrayed India as a secular state, but this was only a figleaf in order to get Muslim votes. This figleaf, however, came off in 2014, when the pro-Hindu BJP came to power.
