Muslims largest group in Assam; ensuring communal peace their responsibility

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday claimed in the Assembly that the Muslims have become the largest community in the state and they should start behaving like the majority group.
He also put the onus of ensuring communal harmony on the Muslim community, particularly those of Bengali-speaking origin, adding that even "indigenous Muslims" of the BJP-ruled state are in fear of losing their identity.

He claimed to have evidence to back his assertions, though he did not present it in the House.
The minority (Muslims) are now the majority. They are 30-35 per cent of the state's population.... With about one crore population, they are the largest community and it is their responsibility to ensure communal harmony, Sarma said while replying to the debate on Motion of Thanks on Governor's Address.
According to the 2011 Census, Hindus comprise 61.47 per cent of Assam's total population of 3.12 crore. Muslims constitute 34.22 per cent of the population and they are in majority in several districts. While Christians form 3.74 per cent of the total number of people in the state, the percentage of Sikhs, Buddhists and Jains is less than one per cent.

Sarma said the Muslims should understand that the progress of the state is directly linked to their activities and urged them to work towards poverty alleviation, population control, etc. to decrease the problems faced by the state.
They should stop thinking of themselves as "outsiders" and concentrate on communal integration and harmony, he said.
The chief minister claimed that with the Hindus being reduced to a minority, there is a growing fear among them of losing their identity and this apprehension has led to the formation of "protective gear or circle" around them.
He, however, did not elaborate on what the "protective circle" implied.

Sarma also claimed that "indigenous Muslims" are also in fear of losing their identity, apparently drawing a demarcation between them and the Bengali-speaking, migrant Muslims.
Referring to the recently-released Hindi film The Kashmir Files' which is based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley in 1990, Sarma said Assamese people are fearing the same fate as the Kashmiri Pandits.
Your (Muslim community people) duty is to assure us that it won't happen here Please start behaving like the majority community, the BJP leader added.

Assam and West Bengal are going to be Muslim majority. We cannot be narrow minded. We should encourage diversity.

It is matter of pride if India has two more Muslim majority states.

Let me summarize what he said

Hindutva are no different than TTP, ISIS type when it comes to ideological part.

He is mad because he cannot send Assamese Muslims to Bangladesh.

The religious zeal of ISIS and TTP is vastly more than whatever Hindu religion can muster.
Hindutva without suicide bombings, beheadings, gay killings, blasphemy are just a small pussy cat in front of ISIS, they might even laugh at hindutva.

Malegaon blasts? Cow lynchings? Muslim boy beheaded in Karnataka?

Don't be so sure! ISIS is less evil compared to the RSS.

You missed the part where i explicitly mentioned "Ideological" because i knew someone will come and argue that they are different infact "small pussy" as you mentioned.

Even ideologically ISIS has proven without doubt that they are in the league of Nazis for brutality. It would take hindutwa immense efforts to reach such a pedestal.

They are not even known outside the subcontinent.

Isis looks down upon infidels, RSS walas look down upon muslims.
Both are supremacists.

ISIS beheaded infidels, Hindutva lynched muslims in Gujrat and Delhi and continue to lynch whenever there is an opportunity.

How many countries have Hindus as a visible minority and as majority vs Muslims, you will know the answer to your last line.

That geographically contiguous units are demarcated regions which should be constituted, with such territorial readjustments as may be necessary that the areas in which the Muslims are numerically in a majority as in the North Western and Eastern Zones of (British) India should be grouped to constitute ‘independent states’ in which the constituent units should be autonomous and sovereign.
