you are correct - but there is more to this:
- are indian muslims getting discriminated in employment in india because they are muslims?
- do they have access to the same facilities and equal access to law as a hindu?
- are indian muslims ably represented in parliament as per their population percentage?
- if yes, what (if any) power do they have to legislate laws that can safeguard the interests of muslims (we haven't even started talking about 'islamic laws and huddod' yet)

sir maripat once wrote somewhere he does not consider himself a second-class citizen. is that true for all or majority of indian muslims?the impression i got from abul qasim nomani sahab's interview was that this was not the case.

But when we're talking about Pakistan as Pakistanis, we have to talk about the reason Pakistan was founded, regardless of whether the Muslims in India are being treated fairly and justly simply due to the fact that the founders of Pakistan chose to create a separate country. So even if Indian Muslims are being disenfranchised, the author of that piece is from Pakistan and if he wants Pakistan to be secular, then he is going against the reason for Pakistan's founding, which was to create a country for Muslims, in spite of the fact that there are more ethnic differences within Muslims (e.g. Pathan and Sindhi) than between Muslims and Hindus (e.g. Gujarati Muslim and Gujarati Hindu).

The author of that article was published on the website of a major Pakistani newspaper and he even had the guile to complain that no alcohol was being served at that party he went to - that he was expecting alcohol! Is he a Christian?
