It is a standard practice to state that the majority community oppresses the minority and seek things like reservation, affirmative action for the minority community to address the age old oppression.

Some of the most virulent supporters of the Pakistan movement including Zafarrulah Khan were Ahmadiyas. They lent the backroom support and financial heft to the hooligans who toppled of the unionist ministry of Khizar Hayat Tiwana. This was one of the most pivotal acts that rendered united Punjab (and by extension India) impossible. It was only after there were anti-Ahmadiya riots in 1950s in Pakistan and the ban of Ahmidiyas by Bhutto in 1970s that they turned “loyal to India”. History is never kind to betrayers.
