    As for Sikhs they might fare better, but they too have Khalistan/seperation issues.
    I am not aware of the speech. Would be great if you could share it or post a source.

    You are generalizing here. And if you are going to use examples of inter-faith riots, I ask you again the same question. Are Muslims in Pakistan better off? Economically? Politically? The truth is there's no guarantee. Nobody can say for sure.

      Pashtoons were split by an earlier decision (the Durand Line) so where would a modern (extended) India draw their Western border?
      Modern India is right now where it should be. I don't want to see history re-written and Pakistan re-incorporated into a greater India. But if you're asking me specifically about Pashtun regions. I dont think they were ever a part of India. Not unless you want to go back to Buddhist times, the BC era. Although it would have been fair to take the British definition of India into the modern India in '47, if Pashtuns didnt see a line running through their lands it was best not to draw one.
