When the issue cropped up two years ago, the orthodox Muslim leadership could not imagine that Muslim women were not ready to be suppressed anymore. They led a silent revolution which was bound to make a greater impact on Muslim politics and society than one could imagine. But Indian Muslim women championed the cause without any reformer and reformist organisation. There is another conspicuous feature of Indian Muslim women assertion their right, dignity and constitutionalism. This is an opportunity for democratic politics to absorb progressive Muslim women for the larger goal of secularisation and Sanskritisation (reconnecting with historical and ancestral roots) of the Muslim community.
