#1 Demographics trump this dhimmi surrender rot. After Partition, Hindus have been reduced from 20% to 1% of Pakistan's population. Meanwhile, in India, the Muslim percentile increased from 8 to 15%. Even where Muslims are a tiny minority, they demand special privileges, that they oppose for their homeland minorities.

Islam is an evil, aggressive, and genocidal ideology. Indulgence of the cult does not advance human rights. Muslims are the enemy of liberty.

#4 True.

Also unlike the westernized elites in some Arab countries (like Algeria and Lebanon), who oppose the Islamists, the Indian Muslim elite would have a vested interest in encouraging radical Islamism in the masses so that they could be used as a tool in a struggle for power with the other groups in Indian society.

Indian Islam is unique in this sense. It is the only variant of Islam that developed in a society where Muslims were not a majority. It has developed mechanisms to survive surrounded by kufr.

#5 The Nobel Literature Laureate VS Naipaul on a trip to Pakistan visited Karachi and wrote that partition was the amputation of a gangrene infected limb. Without it, all Indian cities would be Karachi.
