There is a tendency among some of us to demand loyalty from the Muslims in India and to condemn tendencies amongst them which may be pro-Pakistan. Such tendencies, of course, are wrong and have to be condemned. But I think it is wrong to lay stress always on the loyalty on behalf of the Muslims of India. Loyalty is not produced to order or by fear. It comes as a natural growth from circumstances which make loyalty not only a sentiment which appeals to one but also profitable in the long run. We have to produce conditions which lead to this sentiment being produced. - Nehru -letter dated 1st March 1950, written by Jawaharlal Nehru to the chief ministers of the provinces Nehru's Word: Minorities in India must feel secure, part of larger society https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/india/nehrus-word-minorities-in-india-must-feel-secure-part-of-larger-society
