Indian Muslims today are full citizens of India. No quarrel with that.
But to establish this why is it necessary to peddle the politically-correct lie that bulk of the Muslims in today’s India did not want Pakistan then?
Look at the 1946 provincial election results.

Look at the 1946 provincial election results.
The elections then were conducted under Government of India Act,1935. It provided for separate electorates for Hindus and Muslims.
In this election the Muslim League’s main platform was the formation of Pakistan. The table shows how overwhelmingly the Muslims voted for Pakistan

The truth is they mostly wanted Pakistan and wanted their own places to be in Pakistan. When they saw there was no chance of that (eg in Bombay Presidency) they all turned ‘secular’.

And they had the CHOICE to stay on in India. They made good use of that choice and stayed on in India and professed their love for India and secularism.
Alas,Hindus/Sikhs had no such choice. Instead,their choice was betn migrating and dying. So they migrated aftr a near-genocide
