> Rather than strip muslims of their Indian citizenship, if I were Modi, I'd ask them to convert back to their original Hindu religion.
This was something that happened a millennium ago. Most of the "so called" Muslims you're talking about couldn't care less about their "original" religion. Why not just let them live their lives as they have been doing for so long?
Also, note that all Hindus by definition were not Hindus before they "converted": the religion had to start and spread…
> If it weren't for the brave Sikhs who fended off Turks, Mughals and other Muslim invaders, the entire subcontinent would now be chanting Namaz 5 times a day to a rock.
This is a very reductionist and frankly somewhat offensive way of characterizing an entire religion/group of people.
