Abstract
The Indian constitution was drawn from the different
sources of the world's constitution i.e. USA, Australia,
Canada and Great Brittan. There was the only objective
how to unite different kinds of people in united India. In
fact constitution provides privileges and comforts to her
masses so that all the minorities of India can take breath
under the Indian constitution. It is true that the Indian
constitution provides protection to the Muslims and other
minorities but practice is altogether different. The political
status of the Muslims in India seems almost very bleak.
Representation in the central and promotional states,
political party, method of elections and state policies of
Indian government can determine the political status of
the Muslims and others minorities. The role of press is
also worthwhile in attaining the true picture of the Indian
Muslims. The objective of the study is open, to explore
the socio economic and political status of the Muslims
through facts and figures and strong evidences. The
study concludes that in the post-independence context,
the Muslim elites (politicians, social activists, religious
leaders, academics, and journalists) believe that antiMuslim violence is planned and executed to render
Muslims economically and socially crippled and as a final
outcome of that economic and social backwardness,
assimilate them into the lower rungs of Hindu society.
Key words: Muslims, Hindu, India, Society, Politics
