Note Omar Khalidi's 'union territories' are precisely areas where muslims are in-migrating and hindus are being ethnic cleansed as per my census analysis
Have 5 or be islamised

In Bihar, Muslims comprise 16.5 per cent of the population and have been the sole determinants of power for 15 years.
Muslims have played a major role in shaping Indian politics. They form 13.4 per cent of our population. States where Muslims account for more than 10 per cent of the population are Lashkadweep (95.5 per cent), J&K (67 per cent), Assam (31 per cent), W Bengal (25 per cent), Kerala (24.7 per cent), Bihar (16.5 per cent), Jharkhand (13.8 per cent), Karnataka (12.2 per cent), Uttaranchal (11.9 per cent), Delhi (11.7 per cent) and Maharashtra (10.6 per cent).
Muslims are concentrated in UP, Bihar, West Bengal and Assam, especially in districts bordering Nepal. Western UP has been witnessing a demography change for some time .
When Nationalist forces rang alarm bells just after the release of the 2001 Census figures, the secular brigade derided it as a saffron propaganda. Left wing Economic and Political Weekly of January 29, 2005, devoted an entire issue to it. By their hair-splitting arguments about fertility differentials by religion literacy and female-to-male ratio, they pooh-poohed the "saffron propaganda".
A decade back, former IB chief T V Rajeshwar wrote an alarming piece about religious demographic changes in certain parts of India and warned the country that the threat of another Partition is looming large. He is former Uttar Pradesh Governor Vishnu Kant Shastri. When the UPA Government came to power, the so-called saffronite governor was summarily dismissed and Rajeshwar was brought in his place.
Most writers and researchers who have flexed their intellectual muscles to disapprove the so-called saffron propaganda have banked on Muslim illiteracy for the rise in Muslim population. This impression is quite erroneous.
Dr Omar Khalidi was born in Hyderabad and emigrated to the US in 1977. He did his masters from Harvard University and PhD from the University of Wales. Currently, he is teaching in the Massachusetts University of Technology as a staff member of the Agha Khan programme.
In his interview to Radiance Views, a Jamaat-e-Islami weekly, he said: "We need Muslim-majority districts for three reasons. <b>First, concentrated areas provide security. Second, they provide an environment that is conducive to our cultural independence. Third, they provide a political base through which our people can be elected.</b> At present, constituencies have been created in a way that our numbers don't add up to elect adequate legislators.... Hyderabad and Rangareddy in Andhra Pradesh and Gulbarga and certain talukas could be merged to create a Deccan province. Similarly in Bihar, the regions of Katihar, Kishanganj and Purniya can be made into an Urdu-speaking province or a Union Territory. There are regions in Bengal and UP where Muslims can be in majority. Though, a large number of Muslims would still be left out, having these strongholds is important for their future. This would ensure proper political representation in States and we would have our voice in Parliament.... A decade ago, it was not fashionable to talk about reservation for Muslims. Today, Muslims have reservation in Kerala and Karnataka. In Andhra, too, we are likely to get reservation. Don't judge everything from what's happening today. Huq liye jaten hain pesh nahin kiye jate."
The cat is out of the bag. The ummah has to Islamise the whole world. Jehadis are fighting for it. In India, they, too, have an agenda. Dr Khalidi has just put it in words and has, in fact, given a clarion call. Jinnah propounded the 'Two-Nation Theory' and carved out a nation of Dar-ul-Islam (land of believers). The rest of India is Dar-ul-Harb (land of non-believers) which needs to be conquered.
Our brand of secularism has not just partitioned India, but several other countries as well. Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it. Indians don't mind a Barkatullah as Chief Minister of Rajasthan. In fact, most Indians celebrated the rise of Dr APJ Abdul Kalam as President. It was his merit not religion that enabled him to reach the position. But Muslim appeasement by political parties must be condemned.
<b>Our intellectuals and secular parties have an ostrich like altitude. Indians failed to understand Islam, an expansionist political religion. Even now, our intellectuals cry foul whenever the question of demographic aggression and high percentage of increase in Muslim population is raised.</b>
