There has been systematic derailment and "truck di batti" strategy at play again in this thread.
Dear members, Ideologies prevail over other ideologies, nationhood or any geo-construct has it's basis of existence until something else replace it. Not to be confused that it's always on ideological basis, sometimes other factors comes in to play eg. language, ethnicity, common values, culture or shared interests.
To answer the end game of Indians, one must understand the construct of India in her current form which is barely 70+ years old. However, before coming to that point lemme reiterate the obvious.
Group of people are most united when under threat from outside force or are subjugated. If under britishers the concept of "indian identity" didn't prevail and Pakistan came in to being. There is a significant flaw in "Indian national identity" as a stand alone phenomenon. The route or ,to unfairly say, ideology India took "as a state" to exist was secularism. There was no other way it could've had justified her existence. No linguistic, ethnic, religious (even under hinduism the subjugation of other castes), or shared values of populace.
However, in order to keep the upper hand it needed to present herself as a replacement or to put it as an alternate to Pakistan's ideology. But only if it was a contest of spelling bee and the one who spells the most beautiful, articulate words of english dictionary was the winner....
Secularism, democracy, justice are beautiful concepts and more beautiful ideas but only if implemented. Caste system, minorities treatment, bigotry against other ethnic and religious groups doesn't match with what india portrayed herself to be.... a secular tolerant state. Pogroms, lynching, prosecution of minorities, ethnicities didn't co-relate. Even economic prospects which can be another co-factor for co-existence didn't prevail.
A strong prosper Pakistan where all these problems weren't existing is an existential threat to India, so it's imperative for Indian state to create the atmosphere where Pakistan is in bad light. Terrorijm was fanned, a narrative was built, thousands of Pakistanis were killed in this war. An atmosphere was created backed by their infamous media to create the narrative. Pakistan=bad... muslims= teerorijm.
However, it back fired, with local populace. As quaid said, muslims of india will justify themselves for the rest of their existence. When gimmickry of secularism didn't work out with local populace, hindutva was fanned. Frustration from bad governance, corruption, racism, hunger etc was directed and channelized towards religious muslims... Pakistan.
As i said earlier, ideologies prevail over other... if indian nationhood ideology was to be that superior kashmiris, mizoram, manipur, nagaland and plenty others won't be fighting for separation. Bangladesh would've had fallen back to India....
Pakistan is nothing but an ideology.. putting Pakistan in bad light is not putting a state under bad light, but is a war of ideologies and civilizations...
