The Hindu
The former Union Minister’s book looks at a range of issues facing the community
While the plight of Indian Muslims during partition has been widely debated, it is their role in socio-economic spheres and politics, particularly during elections, that draws attention. Veteran Congress leader and former Union Minister K. Rahman Khan’s latest book Indian Muslims: The Way Forward, reflects on the present socio-economic conditions of Indian Muslims and their political leadership.
The four-time Rajya Sabha member and former Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman, Dr. Khan argues that Muslims should concentrate on educational and economic development and not “allow themselves to wallow in victimhood syndrome.” Despite their numbers and resources, the author contends that Muslims are themselves responsible for their socio-economic and educational backwardness.
