Analysis], [Data. How Minority Status Mediates Political Responsiveness in Ethnically Divided Societies. pp. This project builds on a replication analysis of a nationwide audit experiment in Indian cities to argue that minority status mediates the supply of constituency services in contexts marked by high levels of ethnic diversity and intergroup inequality. The initial research examined why politicians in host societies discriminate against migrants in providing constituency services and found that politicians’ beliefs about migrants’ low turnout propensity undermine the ability of migrant groups to secure basic services from the state. In my replication, I extend the analysis to specifically examine differences between local elected officials of majority Hindu and minority Muslim faiths. I find that minority Muslim councilors are more likely to respond to consistency service requests from non-co-ethnics than majority Hindu councilors. Additionally, my findings reveal that minority councilors are more likely to respond to requests for help from unregistered migrants, despite lacking a compelling electoral incentive to do so. I explain these results as indicative of social-psychological motivations among minority representatives.
