History shows that great success is always the outcome of great shock. For Isaac Newton (1642-1727), “apple shock” led to a great discovery. That is, the law of gravity. This applies also to the case of the Muslims. The Muslims, by their way of thinking—which was unrelated to hard reality—took the partition of India to be a political shock for their future. But after 1971, everything changed greatly, a new process set in the Indian Muslim community, and now this process has reached its culmination and Muslims have emerged as a self-aware community of India, whereas prior to this, they had been lacking in any appropriate sense of their own value to the country.
