ALL THESE LEADERS HAVE GOT THE HABIT OF SAYING "I AM A MUSLIM AND AN INDIAN." IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE PREFERABLE FOR THESE LEADERS TO SAY" I AM AN INDIAN MUSLIM."

Even if The Muslims go to Great Britain also, they will identify themselves as Muslim first, and then later as British, American, or any other country. So there is no question of Patriotism from them to any Non-Islamic State.

Your expectation is genuine but ephimeral. Swami Vivekananda has already said that, an american will also says he is american first not chicagoen, newyorkean,etc. So a European will say he is german, french, etc., and not recognise himself with his city or religion. In India we recognise first with our language, then religion and then caste. This is bane of India and its policies.
Feel happy he did not utter I am a Pakistani and then say it was slip of tongue and correct himself to say I am Indian. It was a great blunder of all earlier leaders to retain Muslims in our country after partition. Once Partition was decided, all Muslims should have got migrated to Pakistan and all Hindus in Pakistan should have migrated to India. But Hindi films would have been orphaned without story lines as many has been churned out only with this subject.

Bala partition was not a bluder, its implementation was. How could anybody in their senses belive that population will be exchanged in weeks ? It should have been a 20-30 year long transfer program. but what is the point of crying now. When we have to live together lets live in peace.

you feeling should have reciprocation from other end also. Do you agree? How long can the Hindus be subject to humiliation and attrocities? We liberated Balgladesh from the clutches of pakistan? Their gratitude, sending terrorist outfit to Bangalore and other indian cities did not know what terrorism is except reading in news. So dont talk about peace as if we hindus are disturbing it. You have proved right from your writing that the sayings Reddy's are muslim in hindus which I was objecting it earlier.
Do you know dear Reddy,the after effects of Partition and the suffering of majority hindus in the hands of muslims? Also do you know the fact that Gandhi sat in sathyagraha asking Indian government to part with few hundred crores to Pakistan as it was newly created country and it had no resource to run the country. This is when our country was burning and affected with acute famine.

Yes it was big mistake that a complete transfer of communities did not tke place during partition. We now have to suffer the consequences.
