Honest question and I’m not Indian. If millions of regular Indians don’t want Muslims, what gives?

what are "regular Indians" that don't include ~200 million ("irregular"?) muslim Indians?
Ha, good question. "Indians", as it's used in such contexts, is really a euphemism to refer only to India's Hindus. A word trick when describing an undesirable behaviour prevalent mainly in one community but without fixing responsibility for that behaviour on that community. It's so common that even a disapproving critic like me ends up using such code words unthinkingly.
