This deserves some discussion. My view - "Amardeep" will be interested in our affairs because he is a mere citizen of the US and *not* an American National. He is not one with the American Nation. He is a *minority* US citizen. If we ponder over these real categories in polity and relate them to our own situation - Hindu (Sikh,Jaina,Boudha,Parsi) National, (Muslim,Christian) Minority, Hindu and Minority citizens etc. Now a step further wrt - Political Rights. My view - Only *Nationals* must retain Right to Elect representatives. *Minorities* should have nominated representatives or should be able to elect *their* representatives to Parliament. Not to be confused with *Reserved* Constituencies. This can mean a *Minority* and a *National* candidate in certain constituencies. Certain constituencies only because *Minorities* will be represented per proportion to their population. As can be deduced - *National* Interest acquires a real meaning in such circumstances. Priorities become clear. Foreign and Domestic policy is no longer confused. What do you feel? Thank you Kaafir, you touched a raw nerve. This deserves some discussion.

I seriously doubt that Amardeep Singh would champion freedom of expression in this case. ‘Al Risalah’ (The Message) was banned in Hyderabad by MIM.

Is it ideological link or a cultural link that keeps them bringing back to India? If latter, then what's the underlying reason for it?

Free-for-all Islamism in India is also called "loosening the strictures." Come to think of it, it's pretty apt. Sachin,

Yeah. Free-for-all Islamism in India is also called “loosening the strictures.” Come to think of it, it’s pretty apt.
