<b>The problem with Indians dealing with Islam is to bring in the Pakistani angle which confuses the whole issue, derails it, and takes the discussion towards geo-political directions, ultimately arriving at some conclusion which places the blame squarely on certain entities such as madarasas and elites and military of Pakistan. This is a comfortable conclusion, for the feeble Indian mind cannot contemplate accepting that a religion can be root cause, while all other factors are only the symptoms exacerbating the disease caused by the original root cause.</b>
The partition of India and creation of Pakistan was a blow to the Hindu psyche. Indians never recovered from this blow. They are fatally wounded by this entity called Pakistan.
While Indians blame Pakistanis of being obsessed with Pakistan, the truth is that the Pakistani Muslims have a wider pan-global community to identify with.
Individually, Pakistani muslims can identify themselves with the whole world. They passionately feel when Albanians are killed by Serbians. They are aroused when the Russian fight the Chechens. They hate the Great Satan and the Yahoodis.
Hatred of India is only a larger part of their hatred. (While Indians think out of vanity that the Pakistanis hate them and them alone!)
But Indians are the ones who are obsessed with Pakistan. Islamic terrorism is Pakistani terrorism. Islamic Bomb is Pakistani Bomb. Islamic fascism is Pakistani nationalism. Islamic intolerance is Pakistani intolerance, Islamic army is not Islamic, but Pakistani. Islamic Mujahideen are Pakistani state sponsored terrorists.
For Indians, there CANNOT be Islamic Terrorism, There can only be a Pakistani terrorism. A Mujahideen who thinks he dies for Islam is not an Islamic Mujahideen but only a person of Pakistani sponsorship.
Indians are cowards who run from truth. Especially if the truth is as bitter a fact that they have been at the receiving end of Islam ever since 1500 years.
Today the Indians are psychologically being brainwashed that the Islamic threat is no more. Only a Pakistani threat exists. <b>That the Republic of India is strong now. It has an army, navy, nukes and aircraft carrier to thaw the efforts of every external enemy from Pakistan to China!! They never discuss about the possibility of internal conflict. They forget that the Pakistanis were Indians too, just 50 and odd years ago.</b>
They think that the worst has gone, emigrated to Pakistan. They want Pakistan to be identified not with the manifestation of the best of Islamic teachings, but instead, they want Pakistan to be seen as the product of some selfish elite Muslims of North India whose only aim was to secure their superior positions and wealth. NAY, nothing can be further than truth. Pakistan is a genuine product of Islamic thought, of its best modern thinkers and statesmen.
Pakistan, many narrowly think is only the army. Nothing else. Just an army that lives off the Pakistani comman man with the only aim of destroying India.
They call the state of Pakistan, the Terrorist State of Pakistan.
What folly!
If Pakistan is a true âISLAMIC republicâ, it would do exactly what it does NOW.
Therefore, there is no use of calling Pakistan, a Terrorist State.
Call it an Islamic State. Is there a difference?? Islamic State and Terrorist State?
As an Islamic state, its Islamic duty is to uphold the superiority of the Islamic ideology over all other religions. Just as the aim of communist USSR was to defeat Capitalism and usher in global communism.
Calling it a terrorist state only serves to clean Islam. As if Islam has nothing to do with the terrorism that Pakistan indulges it. As if it is just a bunch of misguided fanatic army generals who control Pakistan and direct its terrorism activities. As if the public of Pakistan are brainwashed by the army . NAY. The comman man of Paksitan does not want anything, but the superiority of Islam established over India. To regain the ârightfulâ place of Islam as the superior ruling religion in India.
Indians do not realize this, for they donât want to. They cannot fight Islam.
They instead want to prop up strawmen like the Pakistani Army and accuse them of all responsibility of the terrorism that emanates from across the border.
The Indian Elite has successfully downloaded the Marxist and Leftist argument that the Mullahs and the Pakistani Army âUSESâ Islam to ascertain their own legitimacy and source of power.
This is a typical leftist view. That the bourgeois use religion as a opium to suppress the proletarian. That religion is an invention of the priestly class (read mullahs) to gain a livelihood without working, receiving power from their intermediate position between the faithful and God. The ruling class (read Army) joins the priestly class, uses the priestly class to confer a divine leave and right to rule upon themselves, and thus gains acceptance of the ruled.

A Hindu Indian would probably see loss of Kashmir as yet another defeat to his idea of Mother India, a Goddess of the pantheon.
A Indian muslim would problably see it as a loss of territory. His sense of loss does not share the same profound grief of a Hindu, although they both might be very sad. To deny this difference is in fashion however.
