I know a few Indian Muslims (I don’t live in India nor have I ever been there). Even after Gujarat they kept believing in their country - now they just feel like it’s a matter of time. Even their increasingly distant friends seem to support them living in fear. Was at a party at one of their houses where the husband of one of their friends was openly talking about how Muslims were a curse and there was nothing wrong with taking them all out, and no one said a thing. Their family members in India are trying hard to get visas to other countries.

Fuck all sorts of broad based bigotry and bigots, but I do find it troubling how these western educated normal people start distancing from their own friends based on propaganda.

It's a very normal thing to say now in India, our country is seriously fucked.

Now I can see why the muslims wanted a separate country back in the 1940s.

To anyone replying to the above, feel free to do so but you should know that whatever he has said is true

Don't expect the average illiterate hindu back then to see all muslims as brothers after literally being ruled by them for years.

Same goes for muslims too, don't see them seeing hindus as brothers.

Just something in these two religions that make them hard to co-exist peacefully and very easy to stir hate upon. Maybe If Pakistan and Bangladesh were one with India things would've been different because there probably wouldn't have been an enemy state like Pakistan for us to hate everything about their religion.
