As a Hindu, what are your feelings about the Partition?
Well, I'm against it of course! There's simply no need to weaken our great India!
All of the Desi people belong under one Indian government. There is no need to divide a people who have been together for such a long time, coexisting despite religious divide.
But what about the differences is culture? National identities?
Those people in 'Pakistan' regions are not outsiders or foreigners. They do not have a totally independent culture. While Muslim and Hindu Indians are different, it is not the same as an Indian Hindu and an Englishman.
So then India should stay a single nation!
After speaking with a Hindu and considering his points, it seems that Indians constitute one nation and thus should be one country.
No no no! Hindus and Muslims are not the same! How could we Muhammadans find satisfaction in a government of Hindus! We would be politically dominated by them!
But aren't the people of India more alike than different, regardless of religion?
Muslims have totally different ways of lives than Hindus. We must be able to form our own government to reflect that we are our own nation and people.
India must, then, embrace Partition!
To allow our people to become a minority yet still constitute so much of the country will lead to many issues, more for us than for Hindus. Our two nations simply cannot coexist!
