A Shift Towards Greater Inclusivity in Madhya Pradesh Wakf Board The reconstitution of Madhya Pradesh's Wakf Board with two Hindu members marks a significant shift in the country's approach to governing Wakf properties.
This development follows changes introduced under the amended Wakf (Amendment) Act, 2025, which allows non Muslim members to participate in state level Wakf Boards.
Historically, Wakf Boards have been seen as exclusively Muslim institutions responsible for managing and safeguarding properties donated or dedicated to Islamic causes.
