This book deals with the problems of Muslim minorities in
contemporary India. This book suggests that there are three
principal reasons for a neglect of the socio-economic aspects of
Indian Muslims during the period of neoliberal economic reforms.
First, the problems of Muslims are inadequately understood by the
governmental agencies and the political leadership. As a result,
the state either ignores the real issues of the Muslims or tries to
resolve them through a piecemeal approach. Secondly, the lack of a
progressive leadership among the Indian Muslims has traditionally
confined the problems of the community to the issues of identity
and security instead of the demands for equity. Thirdly, popular
Hindi cinema has misrepresented the identity of Indian Muslims by
age-old stereotypes, demonisation and vilification without showing
the actual problems of the Muslim minorities. As a result, the
wrong notions, misconception, and myths regarding Muslims only
proliferate and permeate among large sections of the Indian
population while the structural problems of the Muslims hardly get
attention for remedy. Finally, without being trapped in the Muslim
question, this book has proposed three routes of radical democratic
politics along with visions for a post-neoliberal order of
reimagining India in the 21st century.
