Modi can be a proud Hindu nationalist and also immensely prosper in Indian politics. On the contrary only an apologetic Muslim can survive in Indian public life. In present-day India a non practising Muslim only, is a good Muslim. President Kalam, to Salman Khurshid, Hidayatullah to Najma Heptullah, Shahrukh Khan to Salman Khan are some names among the host of highly successful Muslim individuals. What’s common among them? These otherwise highly talented Muslim individuals in order to progress found themselves compelled to be far-removed from their cultural and religious traditions. Why only Shahrukh Khan has to name his son as Aryan to affirm his secular credentials again and again. Why Amitabh bachchan is not burdened with any crisis of proving his secular identity? And can we recall a successful Indian Muslim who could assert his/her identity proudly and was not ostracised from the public life. Muslim has to shun his identity and there is no end to it, even after shedding layer after layer and practically leaving nothing behind of his Muslim identity, still fails to satisfy his secular credentials. It’s as simple as it could be, they will never be happy with you “till thou follow their creed”. It’s a slip towards a bottomless pit.
