Abstract: This paper attempts to understand the process of formation of middle class in the Muslim community of India since independence and its emerging political orientations. It questions the popular, rhetorical but hegemonic discourses that tend to portray the “perpetual underdevelopment and dalitinization of the Muslim community” and argues that section of the Muslim community, despite obstacles and challenges, like any other community, has been beneficiary of India’s economic growth over the years. While reflecting on the process of formation of Muslim middle class in post-colonial period in India, the paper takes a differentiated view of community, identifies the social and regional variations and orientation and its relationship with the dominant (Hindu) middle class and the Indian state. 摘要：本文试图理解独立后印度穆斯林社区中产阶级形成的过程和新出现的政治取向。它质疑当下流行的、修饰性的但霸道的说法，即倾向于把穆斯林社区描述为“永远不发达和种姓化的”社区，并认为穆斯林社区的区域，尽管面临障碍和挑战，像任何其他的社区，正在受益于多年来印度的经济增长。在对印度后殖民时期的穆斯林中产阶级的形成过程进行反思的同时，本文提出了一个有区别性的社区观点，确定了社会和地区的变化和方向，以及与印度的主要（印度）中产阶级和印度国家的关系。 作者：Anwar Alam 来源：Journal of Muslim Minorities Affairs, 2015, Volume 35, No. 1 (责任编辑：admin) |
