A Hypothesis

Let us assume, for a moment, that the demographic representation of religions over the world is different from what is as of today, specifically in the case of Hinduism and Islam. This would mean that Hinduism is as widespread and distributed among various geographies and countries as is Islam today and Islam is majorly concentrated in a specific country. Now a question arises in my mind that targets the general Hindu sentiment in India, which is-'Quite a few Muslims in India are not as nationalistic as they should be. They prefer their religion over their country'. Under the above hypothesis, will Indian Hindus be less nationalistic than what they feel they are today? Will their loyalities change from their 'nation' to their 'religion'? If the answers to the above questions are positive then I am afraid, we, Indian Hindus are wrong in expecting the same levels of nationalism from Indian Muslims, today. What I understand from the above hypothetical analysis is: It is easier for Hindus to bias themselves towards their country than their religion as compared to the Muslims because of the demographic realities.
