Existing studies have looked at the effect of social segregation on Hindu-Muslim riots and their findings indicate both possibilities; while some studies found segregated societies are more riot prone, some other studies found the opposite. We, using a state level panel data, examine the effect of Hindu-Muslim segregation at the workplace on the vote share for the right wing political party (Bharatiya Janata Party). We find that workplace segregation in general is positively associated with the right wing vote share. But as proportion of Muslim population increases in a state, the relationship gets reversed.

The time period considered in this paper is from 1940 to 1978. We consider three pieces of work "Hnasuli Banker Upokotha" (pre-independence), "Hajar Churashir Maa" and "Purbo-Poschim" (post-independence). This paper also aimed to discuss the underlined microeconomic concepts that are present, explicitly or subtly, in the texts.
Keywords: Partition of India, Agricultural Sector, Inflation, Unemployment, Planned Economy
