It raises questions about the new notions of representation in political life and the future of pluralism in India
India is a country of incredible religious, ethnic, and linguistic diversity. Muslims form an important part of that mosaic which would be incomplete without them.

Above all, they often struggle to secure justice despite constitutional protections and equal citizenship guarantees.
