Not at all true. India has a surplus of people. As an example if all 160 million muslims decided to leave India in disgust to the middle east or Africa, they will likely not be missed either culturally, politically, or even economically. The savings from internal security will actually boost economic growth as resources are freed for investment in infrastructure etc.
Muslims will shave off your heads no matter what. Learn to deal with it, and accept reality that conflict with Islam is inevitable as the history of India has shown (and that of just about every nation that has encountered Islam).

Indian society is still interdependent, people know they need each other, whether they like each other or not. They have to work together, live together and function together. So it is not a natural tendency to say that I am totally different from you, I cannot have anything to do with you. But the Hindutva people try to do just that.[/b]
And to do that, the negative idea, of someone being different, hence unwanted, has to be created and instilled and socialised, either by religious organisations, political propagandists, or the leaders. Their main message, that my own group identity survives only when your group identity disappears, is unnatural -- but it is being articulated in many parts of the country against some minorities.
