In recent years, the Muslims of India have been besieged by the forces of Hindutva and by a series of legal measures that appear designed against them, from the Citizenship (Amendment) Act to various states’ ‘love jihad’ laws. Ali Khan Mahmudabad feels that it won’t stop at Muslims – others will be targeted too.
Mahmudabad, an academic and scholar who teaches at Ashoka University, says the community is feeling excluded. In a podcast interview with Sidharth Bhatia, he says that the emergence of young voices, especially of women, is a chance for Muslims to come together.
