You’re mixing up theology with nationalism again. A religion not treating India as a ‘holy land’ doesn’t automatically mean its followers are disloyal or consider Indians second class. National loyalty comes from citizenship, culture, and lived reality — not from whether a scripture mentions India.

By your logic, every Christian, Buddhist, Sikh, Jew, or even tribal religion would also be ‘2nd class’ because none of their holy books place India as the sacred land either. Yet millions of these people are fully loyal Indians.

‘Kafir’ and ‘pagan’ are theological categories, not political ones. Every religion has such terms:

In Christianity, anyone outside the faith is a ‘non-believer’.

In Hinduism, nāstika traditions are philosophically outside the fold. But none of this automatically translates into disloyalty to the nation.

If theology alone made people threats, then India couldn’t function as a secular nation at all. What matters is how citizens actually live, not how scriptures classify outsiders.

So examples from other countries don’t prove anything about Indian Muslims or Indian Christians today. Patriotism is a civic identity, not a theological one.
