In recent days India has seen much violent protest and communal unrest, in view of reaction to the provisions of the Citizenship Amendment Act adopted on December 11 by the Parliament.
Throughout India's history, and following Arab migrations after the death of the Prophet in 632 AD, there have been various Muslim empires established in South Asia - Ghaznavids, Turks, Afghans, and then the Mughals in 1526.
India has about 200 million Muslims, which represent 14 percent of its population.
Further, the Government of India has invoked legal provisions to limit public assembly, and there were reports of telecommunications and internet suspension.
A November ruling by the Supreme Court of India declared an ancient site disputed between Hindus and Muslims in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, to belong to a Hindu trust, with land also given to Muslims for the construction of a mosque.
The Government of India has affirmed that there is no discrimination against Muslims.
Doubtless morale is now low in India, a principal American ally viewed, among other things, as capable of raising the cost of Chinese aggression.
