I'm well aware of what happened to the Pandits; Kashmiris have surrendered their right to self-determination by being party to that sad debacle. What I don't understand is how with the Sachar Commission report, with no Muslims in the Army officer Corps of any appreciable number, one Muslim in the higher intelligence apparatus, and 90% of governmental power in the hands of Hindus and those who wish Hindus well, you can have this sad-sack attitude of Hindu civilizational doom.

My family that stayed behind after Partition was thanked with spit, brickbats, and a reduction of their pension for the Indian Police Service to token levels and my family that went to Pakistan was made constitutionally second class citizens and had their voting rights taken away merely for being part of an unpopular community, so please forbear from lecturing me about the "evils" of "Muslims" and "sickulars", we have long personal experience in both.
