Quaid's Message on Faith and Nationality

Can't you see that a Muslim, when he was converted more than a thousand years ago, bulk of them, then according to your Hindu religion and philosophy, he becomes an outcaste and he becomes a Malecha (Untouchable) and the Hindus cease to have anything to do with him socially, religiously and culturally or in any other way? He, therefore, belongs to a different, not merely religious but socially, and he has lived in that distinctly separate and antagonistic social order, religiously, socially and culturally.... Can you possibly compare this with that nonsensical talk that mere change of faith is no ground for a demand for Pakistan? Can't you see the fundamental difference?
