There are multi identities identified among the Indian Muslims . Some want to retain their identity, some want to assimilate with the dominan, some want to be known with a new name.
I think you might find some headway looking into 'nomadic identity' if you are talking about the composition. If you want to address the various dimensions of identity (religion, age, gender) look into works involving 'intersectionality'.
If either seem interesting I can provide a couple of citations
Many thanks for the answers. I am looking on minority identity that is trying to be part of the majority due to similarities in custom, language and religion. Yet, they still retained their culture. Every minority including the majority has their own 'race' and is used officially to identified which ethnic they belong. So, it is impossible to change their race except through mixed marriage especially with the dominan. I am most welcome if you can provide the citation on intersectionality. Thanks
