Solidarity, Not Silence: The Message at the Heart of ‘Shikwa-e Hind’
==========
Professor Mujibur Rehman's book 'Shikwa-e Hind – The Political Future of Indian Muslims' explores the predicament of the political future of Muslims in India. Rehman argues that the current situation for Muslims in India marks the third critical political moment in their history. The Muslim community needs to build solidarity with other marginalized groups, actively engage in the political sphere, and reclaim their rightful place as equal citizens to create a truly inclusive India. Rehman emphasizes the importance of Muslims articulating a clear vision of their democratic rights and defining the ethics of human dignity. However, there are challenges such as dynastic Muslim politics, lack of regular student union elections in major minority universities, and the subjugation of Muslims. Rehman also highlights the challenge of indifference from secular forces and political groups towards the Muslim community. He suggests that Indian Muslims can look up to African Americans, Dalits, and others as sources of inspiration. Without a political voice, democracy in India would remain somewhat wounded.
