I am a history geek. Most don’t even know about the India/Pakistan bloodbath at separation - something the Muslims themselves insisted on. Muslims chaff at the notion they are a minority in a country and that they would be ruled by non-Muslims.
Immediately after 9/11 my country brought in H1-B Visa workers from India.
My coworkers freaked out: Brown people who may want to kill us all! Folks were actually scared of them.
We talked to them so as to feel them out, and one of the Indians said not only were they not muslims, but one of them even had his entire family murdered by muslims.
“Thank goodness!” everybody said, which is both horrible and funny at the same time.
