Regardless many muslims believe in the ummah theory. If Pakistan would be an economic power or military victor Muslims all over Lucknow would flock to it. I have been told so by muslims themselves including loyalists to India. It is Pakistan's poor policies and dismal failure as a (Muslim?) state that has led muslims of the subcontinent down including the break up of Bengal as mentioned by guy next door. I acknowledge Pakistan's mistakes and problems but I strongly support the said country. You would too if a country gave your parents an identity and refuge. Many muslims in Mewar support Pakistan. The reasons are common history (partition and vote for AIML), common heritage (relatives on both sides) and common belief in what you mentioned-the ummah.
India is growing more and more like crypt for muslims where the needs of the common muslim are barely understood. We are not accepted and told to go to Pakistan. So what wrong did the families do by going to Pakistan when their own countrymen asked them to? I have nothing against hindus and believe in both living together as there are good hindus too. But I am not impressed with RSS and Shiv Sena type groups trying to impose things on us. I wish you luck in integrating the muslims but will not believe in India as my homeland.
Two things - I am personally committed to struggle to ensure that Muslims - and Christians, and Sikhs, and Buddhists, and the Dalit, and tribals - live in India as absolutely equal citizens, with constitutional protections like the Dalit, if necessary, and that they are actively protected (the corollary being that I would condemn irresponsible behaviour just as readily, irresponsible behaviour such as the shameful riot in Mumbai during an agitation in support of the Rohingyas, the various agitations against Taslima Nasreen, who was herself not accorded the protection and the liberty of free speech that is a matter of such concern to Muslims).
The second is that I quite understand your sentiments about adhering to Pakistan, I understand the feelings of those Muslims who think of themselves as part of the Ummah, but while respecting your inner faith and belief, I insist that there should be a voluntary and a complete acceptance of and loyalty to the constitution. Supporting Pakistan is absolutely not acceptable, not while remaining an Indian citizen. So for those who are loyal to the constitution and to the rule of law, I would defend furiously their complete equality with all others; for those who are unable to be loyal from their hearts, they must go.
As per what oscar said above I did not insult any dead in my post. However I do feels that the death of soldiers serving their country should not be celebrated. Maybe you need to read again what I wrote in my post above.
Oscar was talking about those who celebrated the deaths.
I think he implied also, without mentioning them, those (Indians) who abused the dead 'insurgents' (I call them something else, but am calling them 'insurgents' in acknowledgement of Pakistani sentiment about them and their activities). You will agree that to abuse those who gave their lives for a cause is wrong. So while in real life, or in print, while they are alive, we may - in my own case, I should - oppose and condemn them, once they are dead, no matter how misguided and harmful their way of death, we should cease to condemn them. Not praise them, cease to condemn them. I believe that this is a necessary response from all of us Indians to encourage similar respect for the dignity of our own dead. This is my personal view and each of us must take his own decision in this regard.
burn the body's of the killed terrorists ,hell to these B@$t***$ and their supporters .
RIP to the brave soldiers
The actions of the terrorists are to be condemned. However, once they have died, there is no reason to abuse them or their dead bodies.

They aren't LET rather local Kashmiri youngsters .. Fighting an occupation (as accepted by the UN).
On a point of fact, the UN position is exactly the opposite. If you wish, I can explain.
To hell with your warning,I am not shaken its my matter, You are mourning its yours... uniform does not make everything right. Your reason for negative rating is as valueless as your warning
It was my duty to put you on the right path, and I did so. For the rest, it is between you and your conscience. I shall not mark you negative; I have already said so, and will not go back on that.
What you did in 1971 is not related to us, it is directly related to the people of Bangladesh. Who effected the most Bangali or us?
Same for Kashmir who is suffering the loss, Kashmiri or we? Think about it.
If in your opinion it is the Kashmiri suffering the most loss, then you are guilty of the major part of it. It is your irresponsible actions, indoctrinating, training and pushing your young people into Kashmir, which have caused Kashmiris the most harm. You stop your irresponsible behaviour, the situation will immediately ease up.
