Parties Take Muslim Votes, But Deny Representation | Author & Former IPS Officer Abdur Rahman

In this episode of Nous Network, journalist Asad Ashraf speaks with former IPS officer and author Abdur Rahman, whose books Denial and Deprivation and Absent in Politics and Power explore the marginalization of Indian Muslims. The discussion focuses on the political exclusion of Muslims in India, with a special emphasis on the Bihar elections, a state once seen as the epicentre of social justice politics. Abdur Rahman sheds light on how political parties that rely on Muslim votes often under-nominate Muslim candidates, leading to their declining presence in legislative bodies. The conversation also examines the broader patterns of exclusion, where Muslims, OBCs, and Dalits—though forming the majority—remain under-represented in politics and power structures, while upper castes continue to dominate. This dialogue offers a sharp reflection on the state of Indian democracy, representation, and the fading promise of social justice. #BiharPolitics #BiharElections #MuslimRepresentation #PoliticalExclusion #DemocraticDeficit #IndianPolitics #Socialjustice #NousNetwork #AbdurRahman #AsadAshraf #IndianMuslims #MinorityRights #DemocracyInIndia #PoliticalJustice #MuslimVotes #OBCRepresentation #DalitPolitics #InclusiveDemocracy #RepresentationMatters #CasteAndPolitics #PowerAndPrivilege #MuslimLeadership #ElectoralPolitics #IndianDemocracy #SecularIndia #MarginalisedVoices # #SocialJusticeMovement #IdentityPolitics #MuslimIssues #Bihar2025 #PoliticalAwakening #DemocraticDeficit #UnderRepresentation #MuslimCommunity #EqualityInPolitics #CitizenshipAndDemocracy #VoiceOfTheMarginalised 00:00:00 Bumper 00:02:34 Introduction 00:03:20 Political Representation of Muslims 00:12:15 Reasons behind Political Marginalization 00:19:22 Muslim’s Political Marginalization in Bihar 00:37:50 AIMIM-Secular Parties Tussle 00:43:57 Do Muslims Vote Muslim Parties? 00:48:08 Electoral Issues Concerning Muslims 00:50:45 Marginalization with Pasmanda Perspective 00:53:31 Psychological Roots of Political Marginalization 00:59:22 Future of Muslims in Current Regime 01:03:27 Representation of Muslims by Whom? 01:08:28 Ideological Deterioration of Parties 01:12:41 Strong Leadership or Proper Leadership? 01:20:52 Muslims Invisiblization in Institutions 01:24:56 Future of Democracy in India Subscribe: https://www.nousnetwork.org/#/portal Support here: https://www.nousnetwork.org/#/portal/...
