Explained: Muslim 'vote bank' narrative — myth or reality?

Описание: Is the Muslim vote bank a myth? In this special episode of Election With TOI, we sit down with renowned political analyst Hilal Ahmed to decode one of Indian politics’ most debated narratives. With nearly 20 crore Muslims across India, the assumption of a unified Muslim vote is far more complex than it appears.
We explore why Muslim votes swing wildly from state to state, whether welfare schemes are overtaking identity politics, and how polarisation actually shapes or doesn’t shape voting patterns. We also dive into the Pasmanda movement, the silence of so-called secular parties on Muslim issues, the elite vs masses divide in the politics of appeasement, BJP’s evolving Muslim outreach strategy, and who truly speaks for Muslims in India beyond Asaduddin Owaisi.
