Description
India’s Bangladesh Problem investigates the complex historical relationship between India and Bangladesh while focusing on the marginalization of Bengali Muslims within India’s borders. Navine Murshid explores how neoliberal economic policies have intensified the social, political, and economic exclusion of Bengali Muslim communities in India.
The book traces the evolution of Bengali Muslim identity from the Partition of 1947 through contemporary times, examining how these communities have been systematically marginalized despite their historical significance. Murshid analyzes the intersection of religion, ethnicity, and economics to reveal how neoliberal development has deepened inequalities. The work provides critical insights into communal tensions, state policies, and the everyday experiences of Bengali Muslims navigating a complex political landscape.
Essential reading for scholars of South Asian history, religious studies, and political economy, this Cambridge University Press publication offers a nuanced understanding of identity politics in modern India and the region’s geopolitical complexities.
