"Muslims praying publicly sends one message. It says: Muslims are here,
they belong here, and they have the same claim to the city as anyone else.
The Indian state seems very keen to ensure that these claims are not
asserted, and they do not manifest into civic confidence for Muslims.

Suppressing congregational prayer and public expressions of religiosity is
integral to this denial. Praying on the street on Eid with equal rights
just like members of a Ganesh Chaturthi celebration do, will cement Muslim
citizenship without shedding an explicitly Muslim religiosity.

For King, public prayer was an important part of the movement?s life as it
strengthened and unified participants. Gandhi also used public prayer as
part of his political practice. His daily prayer meetings were public
gatherings, and prayer services were an integral part of the Indian
independence struggle. They functioned as visible acts of nonviolent
resistance and witness. In both the cases, the American state and the
British attempted to criminalise and violently suppress public prayer."
