True, there are some loyal muslims in India but there are too few... every muslim of India that I know is not as loyal as the Hindu population! My cousins were supporting Pakistan in the cricket match of India and Pakistan! Many of my family members say they made a mistake by staying in India as they are suffering discrimination ever since that decision to stay... they see Pakistan as an escape!
well ,, we indians are better off without such Muslim Indians who cheer for another country ,,,
and if they see Pakistan as their saviour ,,, as an escape ,, whats holding them back in India ??? if its so dreadful ....
India was and is a free country and the constitution *has* given the freedom of choice to all Citizens irrespective of religion ...
If they so despise India ,,,, they should leave it right away and go to any country which will accept them !!!
we are better off with patriotic muslims like Dr.A.P.J.Abdul.Kalam , and even budding cricketers lime irfan pathan , zaheer khan , wasim jaffer who are not ashamed to be called Indians but infact are proud of it ....
Also find out if it was pure necessity that made these people join the army or was it loyalty! Those are 2 different things! And ask these muslims if they are totally mad about India and support all senseless policies such as Indias stand on Kashmir... Not even the most loyal muslims in India support Indias stand on Kashmir and the treatment of people there! So thats what I am talking about!
how old are you mate ?? @ "Also find out if it was pure necessity that made these people join the army or was it loyalty! "
do you realise that the Param Vir Chakra is the highest military award given out in India !!!
heres information about this gallant Indian soldier(late) Company Havildar Major Abdul Hamid
,,,,
Company Quarter Master Havildar Abdul Hamid was born on 1 July 1933, in Uttar Pradesh. He was enrolled in the 4 Grenadiers on 27 December 1954. During his Army service he earned the Sainya Seva Medal with Clasp J&K, the Samar Seva Medal and the Raksha Medal. During the 1965 Indo-Pak War, 4 Indian Division was entrusted with a two-fold responsibility - capture Pak territory east of Ichhogil Canal and contain possible enemy attack on Kasur-Khem Karan axis. The 4th Indian Division succeeded in reaching Ichhogil but the powerful Pakistani offensive forced it to fall back on Asal Uttar. The 4 Indian Division settled here to meet the enemy assault.
In the new defence plan of the Division, 4 Grenadiers occupied a vital area ahead of Chima village on the Khem Karan-Bhikhiwind road. A firm hold on this area was considered essential to sustain the divisional plan of defence. On Spetember 8th night, the enemy made repeated probing attacks on Grenadiers positions but was frustrated in all the attempts. The most serious threat, however, developed when the enemy attacked with a regiment of Patton tanks at 0800 hours on September 10th. The attack was preceded by intense artillery shelling so much so that every yard of ground occupied by the battalion was littered by a shell.
By 0900 hours, the enemy tanks had penetrated the forward company positions. At this critical juncture, Hamid was commanding a recoilless gun detachment. Seeing the gravity of the situation, he moved out to a flank with his gun mounted on a jeep. Intense enemy shelling and tank fire did not deter him. From his new position, he knocked out the leading enemy tank with accurate fire. Then he changed his position and knocked out another enemy tank. By this time the enemy who had spotted his position brought down concentrated machine gun and high explosive fire on him.
But he kept on firing. As he fired to hit yet another enemy tank, he was mortally wounded by a high explosive shell. Throughout this action, CQMH Hamid inspired his comrades to put up a gallant fight to beat off the enemy tank assault. His sustained act of bravery and disregard for personal safety, in the face of constant enemy fire, were a shining example, not only to his unit but to the whole division and were in the highest traditions of the Indian Army. Company Quarter Master Havildar Abdul Hamid was honoured with the highest wartime gallantry medal, Param Vir Chakra, posthumously. Jai Hind!! Jai Jawan!!
do you even realize that most of the awards that i have listed there are "posthumus" awards ,,,, means that all those "Muslim" Indians gave up their lives for their Motherland (India) ,,,, which they then selves had adopted ,,,, and gave up their lives protecting them from very own Pakistan ,,,,
if what you were suggesting were to be true ,,, they would not die fighting for India ,,, they would either join hands with Pakistan Army or run away and desert the army ,,,,
but NO they didnt ,,,,, and i am proud of my fellow country men !!!! irrespective of their religion .... the fact that so many of them were muslims ,,, even strengthens my resolve for Indian Hindu-Muslim brotherhood and nation building ....
