I presume you have read, heard but never experienced the things which has projected you to start such a thread. I do not disagree with your pointer and do not entirely agree. Yes there are biasing attitudes which rise and fall like waves of an ocean when striking incidents happen involving a Muslim person. I would state my own life, being a Hindu my very first friend from school(Kinder Garten) was Imtiaz. Right from that period till today all my friends are from various castes, religion and economic background. I have never discriminated them and neither have felt discriminated in any way to hurt or feel to be out of the box.
The difference is that I have experienced these things first hand in my family. My mother is actually from Patna, who hadn't visited Pakistan before she got married. My father was born in Ranchi, but moved to Pakistan with his family when he was 3. My mother's family didn't move to Pakistan in 1947. Before that, my maternal & paternal side belonged to Khujwa village in Bihar, where we had land/zameen for hundreds of years. After 1947, our family lands were taken away by Hindus, my mother's side had to move to Patna, and all my other extended family moved to either Lucknow or Delhi. So don't say I don't know what I'm talking about.
There is a huge difference between the treatment of an Indian Muslim in big cities like Delhi & Hyderabad, as compared to smaller cities in UP and Bihar. The majority of Muslims still live in these states. The' success stories' of tolerance/acceptance for Muslims in Delhi & Hyderabad are few, & only limited to these big cities. The 'failed stories' that I'm talking about, that I know through personal experience (of parents) are about Muslims belonging to Bihar, Jharkhand, UP. You have not hurt me in anyway, but please don't imply that I don't know what I'm talking about.
