Debate Over Indian Muslims' Integration in India
There is a significant debate in India about the integration of Indian Muslims, with some historians and political parties considering them as outsiders and not fully Indian. The BJP and RSS view Indian Muslims as separate, akin to a minority group in Europe, while others like the Nehruvians argue they are an integral part of India. The historical perspective questions whether Indians, predominantly Hindus, perceive rulers like Muslim sultans and British officers as foreign entities or as stabilizing forces providing security. This debate reflects a deeper discussion within Indian society regarding the identity and integration of Indian Muslims.
