Most of the muslim stayed from the modern education and english which proved determental for muslim representaion in goverment jobs and private jobs. India got freedom in 1947 and large section of Indian muslims preferred India over Pakistan because of their roots and India being a secular democracy where people of all faith would have equal opportunities. But since partition Indian muslims are struggling to get equal opportunities and to be treated par with majority community. They are descriminated just because they follow different religion, if you dont beleive me look at facts how many muslims are in govt./private jobs, their share in jobs is always less than their population share, its very common to lebel muslims anti national by right wing hindu organizations. Though muslims have proved their loyalty to India several times, first time when they chose India over pakistan and decided to stay back in secular India rather than moving to Islamic republic of Pakistan.
