I put an NPOV on this article because of a glaring defect wrt maintaining a balanced viewpoint in the article. While the article writes a lot about the achievements and accomplishments of the moslems, it does not mention the fact that Islamic nationalism in countries such as Bangladesh and regions such as Indian Kashmir have led muslims to commit severe atrocities against Hindus and Buddhists, from property siezure to mass rapes and ethnic cleansing. The 2005 human rights report issued by the US department of state points out these problems here and here. This, and other human rights violations by the state as a product of Islamic Nationalism should be mentioned in this article in the appropriate context. While it is good to portray the supposedly positive side of Muslim Nationalism in the interests of maintaining neutrality, wikipedia writers should not whitewash it's history by ignoring it's significant dark side.

[edit] I move that this article be moved to the Indian Nationalism Wiki
I know that having a separate article for Muslim Nationalism on the wiki is divisive and unhelpful to those that wish to find out about the various forms of nationalistic expression within India. There are many different religious movements within India - Muslim Nationalism within India is a nationalism that fits in well with Indian Nationalism. I hope that the major contributors to this article effort are happy with the idea of ensuring that this is done (Muslims achieve in fair proportions in many facets of Indian society, and, thus, I am sure that the contributors to this article are only too happy to ensure that this advice is followed for cohesive purposes).

[edit] population of muslims in india
from the time of independence of india to the current day the indian leaders have said that the muslim population of india is greater than that of pakistan. we should remember that bangladesh was also a part of pakistn before 1971.and in that year the population of west pakistan (that is the current day pakistan) was 80 milliom and that of east pakistan (that is the current day bangladesh) was 90 million if we add that we get apopulation of 170 million in 1971 of which 90% were muslim or 153 million . so how many muslims are today in india ?

- At least, the population figure for East Pakistan (1971) stated above is *wrong*. The population of independent Bangladesh, according to the 1974 census, was 71.3 million [1]. Even considering the large number of Bengalis (between 1-1.5 million) (both Hindu and Muslims) killed by Pakistan Army in Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, the number was never above 75 million at that time. The population of west pakistan was lower than this, as Bengalis were 56% of the population of united pakistan. --Ragib 20:48, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
