There must be more of a unifying Indian identity than
just shared hatred of Muslims and Pakistan. Wasn't
there a kind of pan-Indian nationalism that manifested
itself during the struggle for independence?
How do non-Kashmiri Indian Muslims view the Kashmir
issue? Is it seen in religious terms? Russian Muslims
(20% of the population) do not see Chechnya in
religious terms (except insofar as they view Wahabbis
as being false Muslims).
