Hmm, it seems that the problem for Mughal-e Azam is not Muslims in an overwhelmingly Hindu country, but the agony of having Hindus anyway around, even if they are on their own soil. Saying not to take sides, but stressing the presence of Muslims on both sides of India, is a remarkable case of putting Purdah on other's faces. It's like a message to Hindus: put on your Burqa and try not to annoy Muslims, because they have the monopoly through terror to get what they want. I'm really sorry for you, Mr. Mughal-e Azam, but that very policy has always created the opposition of Hindus or any other non-Muslim societies. But whenever the non-Muslims defend themselves, the agressive "proud" Muslims shout their heaven and hell together to help them and give threating concrete 'advice". What is really amazing is that most Muslims take pride in the (twisted) Mughal past, though I never hear them say anything of the pre-Mughal Muslim period. But while stressing the 'greatness' of that Mughal period, no intention is shown towards remorse on what atrocities were done by those very Muslims. If the "proud" section of Muslims doesn't want to be confronted with the atrocities done by past generations, let them then show maturity and accept also the very dark side of that very past. Because THAT nostalgia is the root of problems wherever proud sections of Muslims are. It is about time that this group has to realize that we live in the PRESENT. Now are the opportunities to behave like mature human beings. Now is the opportunity for Muslims themselves to create some peaceful order in their own chaotic system. When there's some order than the need to project their frustration on others would maybe be disappear. But non-Muslims are very watchful and today the very word Muslim has a very bad taste in modern society (aso for more moderate Muslims), thanks to this "proud" group.
