The number is broadly the same in the 2023 caste survey conducted by the Bihar government.

Which parties have given the maximum representation to Muslims in Bihar assembly? We answer this question by looking at the database of all 3,629 MLAs Bihar has had since 1962, which has been prepared by the first author of this story.
