How do indian muslims see pakistan.

[Awan68]

This has been revolving in my head for some time now, articles from the indian side will obviously be biased and so will the pakistani ones so may be there are a few members here who can enlighten us to the existing ground reality. India has the second largest muslim population in the world second only to indonesia but what do the indian muslims see pakistan as, do they see us as an enemy state threatening thier country and does religion takes precidence in thier thought process and they see us as brothers for a similar cause...

I've met many abroad. They usually tend to be neutral while some are patriotic towards India.

But i guess that neutral mind set would've dwindled a bit due to modi and his rss gangs..

it would be the same as how the Pakistani minorities view India. Most people would be patriotic to their country regardless of their religious affiliations. So it would be same for Indian Muslims, except Kashmirs.

Might be, but its never that simple with muslims...

well i disagree with you in that, what do you think the muslim populace of Morrocco views would be for Pakistan, or views of muslims of Albania, or Uzbekistan.

Say if there is a war between Pak and India tomorrow, who do you think will the India muslims support. obviously India. The only time people tend to deflect their affiliations is when they are being persecuted or occupied/annexed unwillingly.

Saying that i am sure there would be Indian Muslims that might not feel any hostility towards Pakistan, but then there would also be Hindu Indians or other religions that might feel no hatred for Pakistan either.

Spot on....Forget about Muslims...there large number of Indian Hindus who view postively about Pakistan...

Exactly, that is why i mentioned above that their perspective towrds india might've changed ten folds under modi, that is why i started this thread...

A lot of them especially those who are isolated and live in Muslim ghettos view Pakistan more favorably than India. This is evidenced by some of them bursting firecrackers and waving Pakistani flags when Pakistan beats India in a cricket match.

Hey, I love your Pakistani flag!

86% of Indians view Pakistan as a threat. Muslims are 14% of the population.

FACT: Most Indians do not have a positive opinion about Pakistan.
Hypothesis: Most of the 14% who do not think Pakistan is a threat, are minorities like Muslims and Sikhs.

I won't be surprised if Indian Muslims actually voted for him this time around. He got elected based on his development agenda, not on his Hindutva agenda.

Some are quite friendly, others are unfriendly. As always, it depends on who you're talking to. The same is true of Indians of all religious backgrounds, though. In any case, all Indian Muslims view themselves as Indians (excluding Kashmiris).

India has the second largest muslim population in the world second only to indonesia

Incorrect. It no longer does. Pakistan has the second largest population of Muslims now:

I'm going to be honest, of the Indians I have met they have all been nice about Pakistan and me being Pakistani with the exception of a couple of Indian's and guess what? They were Muslim.

Whilst I'm sure Indian Muslim's are mostly great guys, the ones I have met seem to have this need to prove their Indian-ness by trash talking Pakistan and Pakistanis. I think it's just an insecurity thing that affects a few of these guys.
