In re: Post 1947 loyalties. 

I disagree with the views of many Vishwa-Gurus that most Muslims of India favour Pakistan over India. HOWEVER I also disagree with the views of many 'Seculars' that tendancies among some, if not many,  Muslims of India to favour Pakistan over India do NOT exist. 

I am reminded of an incident from the early 2010's. This was when the Congress led UPA was in power at the Centre & the Samajwadi Party was in power in Uttar Pradesh - before the era of the Bharatiya Janata Party's dominance of governance & politics in India started.

A Muslim former Member of Parliament  (Lok Sabha) approached me for advice & solutions regarding a massive property in Uttar Pradesh which had been disputed for decades, even prior to 1947. 

In that connection he sent the concerned people, who were also Muslims, to meet me. I took them to the office of a prominent individual.

The person leading the discussions from their side told us that the concerned property was the only reason that his family stayed back in India post 1947 & that if not for it they would have been 'enjoying themselves' in Pakistan. The words used by him were something like - "ऐश कर रहे होते ". We did not respond to this particular statement of his beyond nodding. 

The comfort with which he said what he did about Pakistan was REVEALING. However the sentiment behind it did not surprise either of us. Since we could not provide any vailable solutions, we got out of touch with them.

I can state all of this on an affidavit, if necessary.

I have no hesitation in saying that while Vishwa-Gurus are undoubtedly divisive, Seculars are dangerously delusional.

I cannot think of good outcomes for India.
