Indian muslims

I hear some extreme people on the social network say: you people must leave India and go, if you are not respecting the national song. My question: Go where? Pakistan!

India is our country. It is the land of our forefathers who were Dravidians. Yes, I'm a tamil speaking South Indian, who has imbibed the Indian culture to the best. Our food is Indian cuisine, our dressing is Indian, our language is Indian, our attitude is Indian; our identities are like the bones in our bodies; it can never be separated. Islam is never against Indian culture or the western culture; it is only against that culture which is against the Islamic culture. Ex: Nude marches in the western world. But, Islam is not against wearing the blazer and tie.

The Indian Muslims are those whose forefathers embraced Islam when they found it to be a way of life. The idea of hatred for one community, and polarising on the basis of religion or culture was that of Hitler, when he did the hate campaign against the Jews. We may have our differences with Jews, but they didn't deserve to be treated as Hitler did. And we all know the end of Hitler. He suicided. I encourage the people who follow his footsteps to stop, think and then proceed.
