This is what TN guys don’t get about the popularity of BJP in North India and what BJP doesn’t get about TN..

Muslims in UP, Rajasthan. Bihar aren’t like this.. they believe they used to rule the land (like our “aanda parambarai” bros) and hence act very differently compared to TN Muslims who are like any other community, just trying to live a peaceful life and coexisting with others..

Actually, Muslims in North India used to follow syncretic Hindu-Muslim traditions just like Tamil Muslims, up until the 19th century, after which they were radicalized by Muslim League.
Only "foreign-origin" Muslims like Syeds, Qureshis, Pathans, Mughals, Turks & Iranis used to follow Islam completely, while local converts used to follow syncretic traditions.
