Invisible Bihar: The Untold Story of Muslims in Seemanchal | Poverty, Politics & Representation
Bihar is India’s third-most populous state — yet remains one of its most underdeveloped.
But behind Bihar’s well-known struggles lies a story almost never told: the story of its Muslim citizens, especially in Seemanchal.
Muslims make up 17% of Bihar’s population — one in every six people — but remain largely invisible in development, policy, and political representation.
In this ground-report documentary, we travel to Seemanchal — one of India's poorest and most neglected regions — to understand:
Why does Seemanchal remain decades behind in infrastructure?
Why are literacy rates, healthcare, and employment so low?
Why do 1 in 4 Muslim children in Bihar drop out before Class 10?
Why do Bihar’s Muslims have only ~7% representation despite being 17% of the population?
