Yadavs are roughly 14.5% of the population in Bihar. They dominate the politics there, not just in terms of seats, but in terms of leadership projection.

Muslims are almost 17% of Bihar.

Can you imagine an RJD equivalent for Muslims?

Why not? Certainly not due to numbers. It& #39;s about attitude, courage, and political acumen

Muslims are 12% in Telangana (inflated due to Partition of the state), but they& #39;re a much stronger political force than those in UP where Muslims constitute 20% of the population

Muslims have always been a minority, despite which we& #39;ve managed all sorts of things. This defeatist minority attitude which looks for saviours outside the community is worst in the Congressi Musalmans (the one& #39;s ideologically and financially aligned to INC).

So grow over this. Stake your claim in the Indian polity. Nobody& #39;s going to hand it down to us on a platter. Claim your space, others will make space and adjust accordingly.

Organize. Mobilize. And resist.
