The book provides insight into the changing nature of Muslim
politics and the ideas of citizenship in independent India. It
studies the electoral mobilization of minority groups across North
India, particularly in Uttar Pradesh where Muslims have been
demographically dominant in various constituencies. The volume
discusses themes such as the making and unmaking of the ‘Congress
heartland’ and the threat of revival of ‘Muslim communalism’,
alongside issues of representation, property, language politics,
rehabilitation and citizenship, politics of Waqf, personal law and
Hindu counter-mobilization. The author utilizes previously unused
government and institutional files, private archives, interviews
and oral resources to address questions central to Indian politics
and society. An important intervention, this book will be useful
for scholars and researchers of politics, Indian history, minority
studies, law, political studies, nationalism, electoral politics,
partition studies, political sociology, sociology and South Asian
Studies.
