Question

in India.
а
Ultimately, What is India ?
1 The whole idea of majority and minority in India is irrelevant and inappropriate. We are all minorities
2 If a typical representative of this majority community-a good U.P. Hindu male were to step off
a train in ary one of India's crowded railway stations, he may well think he belongs to the majority
community. The fact is that U.P. does not represent the majority of India. In fact, if this railway station
that this archetype stepped out in, happened to be in Kerala, he would discover that a majority in
Kerala is not even male.
3 So woat category shall we choose ? Shall we choose his language ? The fact is Hindi is not spoken by
majority of Indians. Should we choose his caste ? If he is a Brahmin, then one must realise that 89
per cent of Indians are not Brahmins. If he is a Yadav, 85 per cent of Indians are not of that so-called
backward caste either.
4 One must also look in terms of what makes Indian nationalism. In our country, you could have a
Haryanvi Jat en one hand and a Tamil Brahmin on the other, and the two of them nationally belong
to the same majority Hindu community. But they have almost nothing in common in terms of dress,
appearance, language, culinary taste and these days, political opinions. Whereas a Tamil Muslim, a
Tamil Hindu and a Tamil Christian would have far more in common with one another than with their
co-religionists from some other part of the country.
5 To harp on these differences is not to divide the notion of Indianness. It is rather to affirm a notion of
Indianness that is larger than the sum of its parts and does not fit into the classical theories of what
makes a nation.
6 Our nationalism is not even based on geography because the natural geography of the subcontinent was
hacked by the partition of 1947. Nor is it language that binds us, as we have 17 official languages.
7 It is not ethnicity either that binds us because by most definitions of ethnicity, there are Indians who
have nothing in common with other Indians, and there are Indians who have more in common with
foreigners than with other Indian for example, an Indian Punjabi or Bengali has more in com
Pakistani and a Bar desfectively than they do with let's say efoonawala we Bongladeshi​
