Assam Muslims after 2016 Assembly Election
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
In 2016 Assam Assembly election, BJP led alliance won with overwhelming majority. In this election BJP proved that it can win election in Assam without the support of Muslims, more than one third population of the state. This has pushed the Muslims of Assam to a peculiar situation as the community has always been considered as the „king maker‟ in Assam elections. Before the 2016 Assembly elections and after coming to power, BJP in Assam has been trying to prove the Muslims, particularly the immigrant section, as a threat to the existence and identity of Assamese people. On the other hand, there is a widespread feeling among the Muslims of India that serious attempts have been made to push them to further marginalization. In this background, this article is an attempt to understand the Muslim situation in Assam under a BJP led government where Muslims constitute more than one third of total population of the state. For understanding the Muslim question in Assam at present situation, this article also tries to know the background of the community in the state and situations of the Muslims in contemporary India.
