Author and journalist Rasheed Kidwai joins Marya Shakil on Booked to unpack the stark statistic behind his new book Missing from the House: Muslim Women in the Lok Sabha. Since Independence, 690 women have entered the Lok Sabha—only 18 have been Muslim. Why? Kidwai explores dynasty as gateway and gatekeeper, party strategies (TMC, Congress, DMK, IUML, AIMIM), the South’s surprise zero tally so far, and why clean public records haven’t translated into more tickets.
