Abstract
What has been the pattern of interaction between state and Muslim community in India since independence? There have been considerable studies concerning the partisan role of Indian state vis-a-vis Muslim community. Over the years the issue of increasing marginalisation in the Muslim community has been linked with state politics of exclusion. Within this broader context, this paper would broadly reflect on the nature of discourse of exclusion and inclusion within the Muslim community and its impact in terms of formulating strategies and responses towards politics of inclusion/exclusion in India among the Muslim elites/leadership. It argues that the lack of participation of community in the development process of the country, which in effect negatively affects the choices and capabilities of the community to partake into the ‘developmental goods’ partly emerges from the notion of ‘Muslim politics’, which pays heavy premium on the ‘politics of identity’ and ‘security’ and its imagination of Indian state system.
