Umm, not exactly. Few are outright pro Pakistan. Most are not. But given a choice - which country would you prefer to live in considering that you have no economic restriction, most will choose Pakistan and NOT India. Idealism and romanticism has tremendous value.Quite true.
There may be some treacherous idiots but most of them have only contempt. They know how Muhajirs have been treated there, how the Shia and Ahmedi are killed etc.
The treacherous idiots do give a bad name to the community as the terrorists do to their religion.
We can underestimate it at our own peril. But I guess it's too late now.
It also varies from place to place. My observation -(I am referring only to the Sunnis)
South of Maharashtra, most Muslims prefer India. North of Maharashtra, most Muslims( in some places overwhelmingly) support Pakistan. Even knowing that they may be killed for some bomb blast etc!
To understand this psyche you need to 'look like a Muslim'. Like I do. You get to hear a lot more and have more honest if disturbing interactions.
Also don't make the mistake in assuming something wrong here - this is not particular to India. Muslims all over the world retain allegiance to a Muslim country of a belief over than of their non Muslim state of residence or nationality.
*Look like a Muslim - I often wear a pheran outside as well, a trimmed beard. Even occasionally kohl!
True.i am not saying people who prefer pakistan to india do not exist.. just that op seems to think its majority of muslims who think that way.. and I am not so sure.
Like the Shia and the Ahmedia are hardcore Indian nationalists (with exceptions like any other).
In fact a large number of them in fact support the BJP as well!!!
