"In the very process of constructing that Hindu Nation, to assert that Muslims are our enemies because we have supposedly remained enslaved by them for a thousand years - if we were to build our national identity upon such a foundation, then India simply cannot survive. We would fragment into at least 43 separate states," Aiyar told reporters in Jaipur.
