The more you read #Sharjeel Imam's interview, the more you realize how diabolical is the whole thought process. He basically wants to open up the 1946-47 debate because he thinks Muslims in India did not get a good deal unlike Pakistan and Bangladesh where they got their own country. - The reason he eulogizes Jinnah because like Jinnah he's also seeking 'better' deal for Muslims in India. - Like Jinnah he also considers Muslims as a separate, distinct identity because of their religion. - This is what Jinnah had said and this is exactly what he is saying: "Musalmans [Muslims] are a nation according to any definition of a nation, and they must have their homelands, their territory, and their State." - He rejects any structure which will require Muslims to subsume their identity under the larger Indian identity. - As I said earlier, he thinks of India as nothing more than as an economic resource and Muslims need to be given a 'fair' share of this resource (where he'll define what is fair). - This thinking stems from a thought process which considers Muslims are rightful heir of Mughals and British should've basically handed India to them when they left. - All the BS about 'Ganga-Jamuni' tehzeeb and secularism is anathema to his thought process. - And since he knows that he/Muslims cannot force partition of India like 1947, he calling for restructring of the Constitution and the very framework which governs political India. - For Hindus, India that is Bharat is a civilizational state while for Sharjeel Imam, it is nothing but a conquered territory and Muslims need better terms to exploit this territory even as they live their lives under Sharia.
