Dear oh dear. I didn't intentionally mean to tail-tweak. I apologise.
But, for instance, India is the world's largest Parsi country, and Bombay the world's largest Parsi city, even though the Parsi's are in the majority nowhere in the world. It is, as such, their homeland, and it seems a bit mean (?) to deny them that.
India is, similarly, the world's largest Sikh country, and the world's largest Jain country. No?
So although India is (if I remember my Preamble to the Constitution correctly) a Sovereign Socialist Democratic Republic, and secular to boot, is it really that incorrect to say that it is also a large Muslim country? Or is that lack of correctness simply based upon different ways of assuming that words work?
After all, by that token, India is not a Hindu country either, but you would be hard pressed to find anybody who does not, in casual use, describe it as that.
I dunno. But I apologise if I offended...
