  • More about Abdent in politics and power: Political exclusion of Indian Muslims

Muslims face acute political deprivation despite their contribution to democracy in India. The book analyzes the reasons for their absence in politics and power, including under-nomination in secular parties, denial of SC status, Muslim-majority seats being reserved for SCs, and the rise of the BJP and its exclusionary attitude. It also focuses on the internal factors within Muslims, such as the presence of many Muslim candidates in Muslim-dominated seats, division of secular votes, lack of leadership, and their inability to forge a viable political alliance with other deprived groups. The volume advocates a forceful change of attitude, thinking, and action on the part of various factors involved to create an effective political space.

Muslims in India face significant political deprivation at all levels, despite their significant contributions to the survival of democracy. This volume aims to gauge and analyze the political underrepresentation of Muslims in the Parliament and state assemblies, as well as their nomination by mainstream national and regional parties. It explores the reasons behind their absence in politics and power, including under-nomination in secular parties, denial of SC status, Muslim-majority seats being reserved for SCs, and the rise of the BJP and its exclusionary attitude. The book also discusses the internal factors within Muslims, such as the presence of many Muslim candidates in Muslim-dominated seats, division of secular votes, lack of leadership, and their inability to forge a viable political alliance with other deprived groups. Additionally, it examines the rise of upper caste Hindus in politics, the political deprivation of Hindu OBCs, and the necessity of due share of Pasmanda Muslims in politics for secularization of political space. The author advocates a forceful change of attitude, thinking, and action on the part of various factors involved, including the government, political parties, media, academic circles, the community itself, and other deprived sections.
