I agree with you Yakov. India is a great nation..and I am proud to be part of it. However what troubles me is the constant questioning of my patriotism as a muslim.I also understand that many undesirable incidents have happened in the name of respective "Gods" that neither Islam nor Hinduism permits or supports. But brandishing an entire community is not hte way to go. I can appreciate the "quitessential Hindu" character that encourages assimilation..something the progressive Indian muslim community leaders should learn and propogate within our society. In today's situation, I too am thankful that my forefathers chose to stay in India instead of migrating to a country based on hate and religious extremism.
