Ok I will answer this as I am Muslim and from India.
Let me be honest. We have our own set of problems here but do not face discrimination in everyday life.
As a Muslim, I can aspire to be the prime minister of India one day. I can aspire to become a cricketer, a businessman. Anything I want to be. I know as long as I educate myself and pursue my dream I will be able to succeed.
India has tried and been successful on many levels with being a secular state. Sure we have our own problems but who doesn't?
Today I have a job, a family, I live in a good home in a society where mainly Hindus reside but have never felt like they have tried to push me out of any of the activities they are doing.
I will also say that all kinds of Muslims are able to exists in peace in India which is almost impossible to happen in Pakistan now a days. We are proud to be from India - a secular state where all kinds of religions exist in peace and always have.
