Articles: My Thoughts | Cry for a Hindu Nation

I do concede that in almost every country in the world there would be some cultural interaction with neighboring countries or other countries and where one can see or find fragments of certain alien cultures. For example, in the border areas of France on the South-west, we have traces of Spanish culture. Likewise, in the North-eastern areas of Spain, we have traces of French culture. But this does not destroy the essential character and substance of either national Spanish culture or national French culture. We have not had Prime Ministers and politicians at the highest levels of governance in Spain or France proclaiming to their countrymen, your culture is non-existent and that you should worry about the survival of the culture of our great and compassionate 'secular' neighbor.
Unfortunately, it is this type of fraud which has been practiced by the Congress party during the last 60 years with disastrous consequences for national unity and national consciousness.
I do concede that some Muslims in India have taken to Hindu music or Muslim Rulers have left some buildings or innate religious liberalism has inspired Hindus in some parts of India to pay obeisance to the tombs of Muslim Fakirs in some places. These spectacular instances can hardly make our national culture composite.
Yet, this is the fare on which we have raised the fraudulent superstructure of our 'secularism' in India by amending the Indian Constitution as and when we wanted it in order to create and promote a false notion of nationhood founded on the airy political nothing of pseudo-secularism. The foundation of the pseudo-secularism is not composite culture but only minority communal vote bank politics!
What has been the known Islamic perception of this so-called 'composite culture'? We have irrefutable documentary evidence relating to the views of all the Muslim theologians of India from the 18th century onwards. Shah Waliullah in the 18th century, Shariathullah, Syed Ahmed Barelvi, Abdul Aziz, Titu Mir, etc in the 19th century, and Mohammed Iqbal, Maulana Maudoodi and others in the 20th century have all categorically stated what I have stated above. None of these worthies ever accepted that Muslims and Hindus of India together make one nation or that our culture is a composite one. All of them have consistently emphasized that in India Muslims have a separate nationality (Qaum, Awam) and a separate culture.
And frankly, if you ask me, if I had been a Muslim, I too would have never accepted that my nationality and culture are the same as that of non-Muslims in India. If I were a true and devout Muslim, I would myself declare that the Holy Quran itself firmly rejects such an idea. As per the Quran, the Muslims by themselves constitute a separate nation, the Ummah, a person within the fold of Kafir (every non-Muslim) can never be a part of the 'Ummah'.
