Why do you think there is no sectarianism in India? A small town where I live has three mosques (belonging to different sects) who couldn't agree on the time to play Azaan and we hear three different Azaan 5 times a day.
My point was not about sectarianism - rather about the notion that some people have that Indian Muslims are some sort of sleeping asset that Pakistan could activate. I don't think that is true on the whole. There might be a few individuals, but that's it. I don't think there is an equivalent of the Pakistan movement, or even the Muslim conference; let alone elements willing to take up arms.
Did you know the different azaan times is actually not a sectarian issue? Yes different groups have different times they do azaan based on small differences in what time they consider the prayer time, but sometimes they actually plan different times to give people some flexibility so if they miss the ceongregation at one masjid, they can go to another. Another reason is the ego of mullahs, who want to have exclusive time on the mic.
In most Muslim countries the state locks down what time the azaan is. Unfortunately in the sub-continent, the mullah reigns supreme - as long as he limits his kingdom to the masjid.
