For the first time since India's Independence in 1947, there will be no Muslim representation in the majority party. Of the 283 Bhartiya Janata Party members elected to India's new Parliament, there's not a single Muslim representative. The lack of representation, combined with Mr. Modi's image as a hardliner Hindu politician, has caused fear and concern in the Muslim community.
