Malerkotla, a Muslim majority Princely State, is the best example. It is said that the Ruler had sided with the Sikhs in condemning atrocities by the Moghul Emperor. The Ruler acceded to India and lived there peacefully as did the Muslims of the area.

The community you mention migrated to Pakistan under the leadership of their second 'Kalipha'. However, a chosen few remained to tend their Religious shrines and this remains true to this day. It should be remembered that Ahmadis were fully accepted in Pakistan in the Fifties and Sixties. Many of them performed great service to the new Nation. Thus, there would have been no reason for people of this community to prefer to stay in India. Thus it was only to preserve their holy places that a chosen few stayed behind.
