Asaduddin Owaisi is the president of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM), a Hyderabad-based political party, which represents Muslim interests. Even though AIMIM is a small political party, Asaduddin is perhaps India’s most recognizable Muslim politician. As a scholar of India’s constitution and an avowed constitutionalist, Asaduddin has remarkable clarity of thought on legal and political issues. He also presents nuanced advocacy of secular Muslim interests focusing his energy on education, employment, and economic welfare for Muslims—which need more attention than the community’s religious practices. Asaduddin also possesses a defiant, truculent approach when addressing poor legal thinking, especially by a government in power.
