Sharjeel Imam’s argument is basically this: Indian Muslims don’t necessarily need a separate country, but they need a constitutional system that actually guarantees them political power, representation and equality. He revisits Jinnah, but revisiting Jinnah doesn’t automatically mean demanding Pakistan. There’s a difference between asking for a separate country and asking for constitutional reforms within the country you already live in. The real question he raises is: Does India’s current constitutional framework give Muslims genuine political representation and a fair share in power, or is secularism just a promise on paper? You can disagree with his argument. But first, understand what he’s actually proposing instead of blindly equating every criticism of the Constitution with separatism.
