Full Description

This book delineates the contours of Muslim political articulation and its contribution to democracy in the Telugu region. It examines the emergence of Muslim politics from the debris of Police Action in 1948 in the context of the formation of the first linguistic state of Andhra Pradesh in 1956. Taking linguistic nationalism, caste politics and discourse around social reform as its scaffolding it discusses how Muslims negotiated concerns around their belonging and citizenship in mainstream politics, public policy, literary writing, language activism, religious education and in women's movement.

This book will be an indispensable resource for scholars and researchers of political studies, historians of Deccan and the Telugu region, minority studies, exclusion studies, Indian politics, Indian democracy, modern Indian history and political sociology. It will also serve as a useful introductory text for activists and general readers interested in Muslim politics.
