The Minority Rights Project
The Minority Rights Project is an initiative by a group of students from Aligarh Muslim University. The Project began as a byproduct of longstanding conversations on the past, present and future of minority rights, especially in India. The Project is still in its infancy but promises to expand itself across various spectrums in near future.
We look forward to your participation in this significant discussion on the future of Muslim identity in India.
