Disclaimer:
I am not a scholar so I have no right or place to disagree with the religions opinions of scholars, here I am disagreeing with the "political position" of these scholars!
My position on this matter has changed over decades where initially I understood, respected and tolerated this "political opinion" but after reading the opinion of other Ulama and in the light of what is happening to Muslims of India, I strongly reject it.
So you will read my opinions from maybe 15 years ago being very tolerant and regarding this as a "difference of opinion"...
Back to the Topic:
The opinion of Indian Scholars is the Nations are built based on soil (geography) and not religion and this was clearly demarked by Maulana Hussain Ahmed Madani (RA) in his book which was republished by Jamiat in India in 2005 and I quote two paragraphs:
By composite nationalism I mean here ‗nationalism‘, the foundation of which was laid down by Prophet Mohammad (SAAS) in Madina. That is to say, the people of India as Indians, as a nation united (despite religious and cultural diversity), should become one solid nation and should wage war against the alien power that has usurped their natural rights. It is incumbent upon every Indian to fight against such a barbaric regime and throw off the shackles of slavery. It is important not to interfere in another‘s religion – rather all nations (communities) living in India is free to practice their religion, life by its moral values and act according to their religious traditions. While maintaining peace and tranquility, they should propagate their ideology, follow their culture, promote civilization and protect their personal law. Neither should a minority interfere in the personal affairs of other minorities or the majority, nor should the majority strive to assimilate the minority into itself.
Maulana (RA) further writes:
Unlike Hindus and Zoroastrians who completely destroy the dead body, either turning the corpse into ashes by placing upon a pyre and later throwing it into the rivers or by placing it on the Tower of Silence for birds to consume it, only Muslims bury the dead body into graves, Unlike them, even after death, a Muslim remains attached to the Soil. Their graves remain intact. And as per Muslim belief, on the Day of Judgment, it is from these graves that they would be resurrected into yet another life. Though the dead body of Muslims placed beneath the earth also gets partially destroyed, it is from the remaining particles that their new existence would come into being. Thereby, Muslims physical domiciliary to the land would remain till the dooms day
Total and absolute Disagreement:
I say this is non-sense!
My bond is due to La ilaha illallah and my bond is to my Brother in Kanpur (India) whom I have never met because he is a Muslim compared to my non-Muslim neighbor in the same city and country where I happened to be born in.

Error of India Ulama
When the Indian Ulama quote "Madina" as a system for Indian Muslims, they are making a colossal error:
- Muslims were dominant in Madina and able to enforce laws upon the society.
- Muslims are subservient and dependent in India and will never be in a position to even demand fair treatment.
The Ulama of India keep getting rich by preaching loyalty to the Nation of India from the pulpits while common Indian Muslims keep getting harmed and killed!
It is only the younger generation of Indian Muslims who after decades of being beat up and hurt is realizing the truth and ditching the Ulama which is clearly visible at the ballot boxes and Indian Government is also realizing that Indian Ulama are no longer effective in their job of keeping the masses subservient to the Hindus!
