While the economic future or cultural rights of Indian Muslims have been debated since 1947, the political future demands attention in the wake of the electoral dominance of the Hindu Right that has unsettled Muslim equality in socio-political structure. Only as an equal and participatory community in the politics of the nation, can economic and cultural forces be addressed. From Shaheen Bagh to Hindu Muslim riots, from the unique position of Muslim women in India to the Sachar report and the Muslim backwardness debate, the book Shikwa-e-Hind: The Political Future of Indian Muslims analyzes, confronts and discusses the urgent concerns of Indian Muslims in a manner that is nuanced and globally relevant.
