Did you ever had a chance to ask them what is preventing them to leave ?
Or Do they tell you that you and your parents made a wrong choice ?
Some of them, I will not lie feel that their staying in Lucknow was a better option and in my eyes their choice was made so they should make the fullest out of what they can in Lucknow. But many acknowledge that there was a need for Pakistan to be formed.
Lets note that a lot of muslims did not move to Karachi or Lahore because the travel was too difficult. 90%+ of UP muslims when contacted in 46 said they had voted for Jinnah's Muslim League. Originally almost all muslims were supporting the Muslim League. The change of opinion among younger muslims that Pakistan's formation was a mistake came later as Indian influence rose. I can bet you that you can ask any Muslim here. He will say his grandfather or father voted for the Muslim league in 45-46.
My nana was a very famous an ardent supporter of AIML and stayed on in Lucknow. Not all people who supported Pakistan moved as I said. And my grandparents and parents were no exception. If you have time look up our Firangi Mehal house which was Jinnah's ardent supporter in what India turned into UP.
But as you yourself said Muslims are not unwinnable. Some of my relatives are fully Indianized. Can't blame them because they are in your sphere of influence-your media, your culture, your ideology has been imposed on them so long they have become a part of it. Muslims can be won over but Modi won't ever manage to do it. They need an inclusive uniting figure rather than a communal one. That being said extra efforts are needed to merge the muslims into the national fabric.
I knew you will quote our famous presstitude to prove your point, as you seems to be too lazy to google the properties owned by Muslim Artists in Mumbai
These same muslim "artists" say they have problems finding places to stay in Mumbai. These are superstars. The question is what would it be like for the common man when it is so hard for them. Accepting a problem can stop decades of pain. Had Pakistanis listened when supporting mullahs in 80's in Afghanistan it could have saved a mess. I hope you do not learn that the hard way.
was I not clear enough on my feelings on the meat ban ?
I like my erachi fry and steak, banning food is about the most stupid thing man can do.
Glad you acknowledge with the cow ban how India has shot secularism in the foot. It is against the secular fabric of the country.
"crept" ? what do you think we were divided on, its always been there, 50 years of minority appeasement 'secularism' is what is responsible for this growth of Hindu Nationalism you see in India now. The world need not worry, though, it wont spill an inch outside our borders, and they wont fly airliners into buildings, relax.
You call it minority appeasement but much more is required if you want to win the muslims over. The problem is most of you look at us muslims as a liability and as something pulling the country back.
and please don't worry about the Sikhs, they're fine.
They have demanded a separate law board though. Why hasn't this been given. Why are they lumped as Hindus?
maybe he did, again, how is this any of your concern ? you are a Pakistani, should be more concerned with balochistan, sindhu desh, pukntoonistan and the 100s of millions of wahhabi influenced general population that keep blowing themselves up.
Lets not forget that 93000 have been killed in Kashmir since 89. Those killed in Pakistan are 60000+. Stability isn't a sure thing. It can come and go anywhere. As showstopper said Hindus have as much capability and incentive to blow themselves up as fanatical muslims. Sadhvi Pragya proved it, Babu Bajrangi proved it.
good thing the "typical Pakistani" is not in charge of fixing the "problem"
if you ask me, "jihad" ideology is the problem
Akhand Bharat is as much a problem as jihad.
too bad, looks like your relatives are destined to be lynched by my angry idolator mobs, you should say a little illa ka lullah rajoooooun while you can.
That will cause a rebellion. Right now all you are getting is tension due to the arrest of muslims on all kinds of weird charges. Outright killing on the streets will force us to rebel. The only reason muslims migrated and did not pull out their weapons was who would they fight. The common peaceful Hindus who weren't all bad were among the Hindutvas. But if all Hindus en masse turn on them then we muslims will not only fight but look towards Pakistan as an ally. Double trouble and reason for you to listen to muslims views at least if not consider them.
