| description | This article examines why the Indian 'Constitution' is central to Muslim politics and political resistance. It examines the tensions and challenges the Indian 'Constitution' and the political rise of Hindu nationalism present to the Muslim struggle for equality in India. The article underscores how the Indian 'Constitution's' paradoxical stance on governing religion places religious minorities, particularly Muslims, in a challenging position amid evolving state and political ideologies, resulting in underrepresentation, political focus on identity and marginalisation, and difficulties in addressing inequalities and discrimination. A case study of the protests against the 'Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019' (Ind) is employed to illustrate how constitutional paradoxes shaped advocacy efforts using the 'Constitution'. However, these endeavours ultimately proved unsuccessful, shedding light on the challenges that lie ahead for advocates of Muslim rights. |
