You have problems muslims being seen as foreigners despite being here for 1000+ years and want them to be considered indics, What stops them from claiming their indic roots and ancestry ?
What stops them considering maharana pratap, rani laxmibai, shivajiaharaj bhagat singh and likes as their heroes? Why are their public and private places, businesses, schools, mosques are not named after such indic icons to feel connected to their "native"land? Why name them after foreign invaders?
What stops them from calling out the persecution, subjugation and forceful conversions by these invaders like ghori, khilji, babar, aurangzeb etc etc? On the contrary, even moderate, literate and well off muslims like naseeruddin shah feel proud and glorify them.
So who is actually to be blamed if they are seen as foreigners?The life style,culture, religion, icons and everything else is followed by adopting from foreign invaders.
Is there anything local they have accepted despite living here for 1000+ years?
I have never seen Muslims hate on Bhagat Singh or other freedom fighters, not sure where you are getting that from. Since you know of Rani Laxmibai you should know that Muslims played a huge role in the rebellion, yet nowadays only the Hindu fighters are popular.
I don't get your point. You want Muslims to give up their religion and lifestyle because it came from "foreign invaders" (they came 1000 years ago, how long will you keep whining about them being foreign)? That's not happening at all They also don't have to apologize for their ancestors who did bad things centuries ago. You are the typical bhakt who only thinks India belongs to Hindus and everyone else should give up their identity and culture and adopt yours. India is all about diversity and is a secular democratic country. Muslims or Christians or anyone else don't have to appease Hindu extremists. People can live in harmony while being different. In fact things were going well until the rise of the hindutva movement.
Then again your type even glorifies the likes of Nathuram Godse because Gandhi was too nice to Muslims so I'm not surprised. You people will drag down the whole country with you antagonizing 200+ million people
