You are misunderstanding my words again.
I never said that Hindus have any 'religious' right to be in India.
But if Hindus / Sikhs / Jains etc anywhere on the globe are in real peril, which country can they afford to turn to if not India. Anyone in trouble seeks to be near people similar to them. India has the highest concentration of Hindus, Sikhs, Jains. So obviously, these persecuted people would feel safest in India than in any other country.
Coming to the question of Muslims. Now, we need to evaluate first whether these Muslims are in peril. If they are in peril, where do they want to go. You are assuming these Afghan muslims want to come to India rather than to go to Pakistan or Dubai or UK/ USA. Moreover, India being not a rich country and an overpopulated country cannot intake a large number of refugees. And in this case, India is under no obligation to take refugees because neither Afghanistan is our direct neighbor nor the mess is our creation.
There are many countries with Muslim and Christian majorities.
For Hindus and Sikhs, India is the only country with majority (apart from tiny Nepal). So India becomes a natural home for these if they feel persecution in their home country.
This is similar to how Jews from all around the world gravitated to Israel after 2nd world war.
This does not mean that India should discriminate against Christians and Muslims. They should be evaluated for asylum on a case-by-case basis as well as needed. But as explained, the options available to Christians and Muslims are far greater.
So many words being typed up just to justify discrimination.
I assume lower castes also want to be manual scavengers? And blacks want segregation in US schools?
Discrimination is so embedded in your psyche that you just cannot escape it.
