SG, your argument will be acceptable to most if there is acceptance and reconciliation of our dirty past.
Acceptance, that Turks were not indians, just as British were not indians, irrespective of whether tomorrow majority of Indians chooses to become Christians.
Acceptance that india was under foreign occupation and colonization for 600+ years by dacoits, the most barbaric uncivilized warmongering people of that time.
Acceptance that being born on Indian soil doesn't make you ethnic Indian with loyalties to indic civilization.
Colonel Dyer was born in Missouri, and we all agree he was not Indian.
For example Siraj ud Daula, the last Turki dacoit who ruled Bengal and defeated by Robert Clive, was not a Bengali, never spoke one word of Bengali. He was a Persian language speaking Arabic ideology believing Turk.
So was Tipoo or Nizams or Nawabs...the occupying and colonizing aliens.
Note, if we all chooses to be Christian tomorrow, the erstwhile Queen Victoria does not became our queen, nor does British empire becomes our empire.
Or if by accident if Queen Victoria happens to be born in India, British colonization remains British colonization, an alien occupying force.
