Multiculturalism is not a newconcept. Multiple cultures existed in Europe and Asia during the mediaevalperiod. The multicultural societies of Baghdad, Florence, and Venice played anessential role in the spread of knowledge and science. The knowledge transmittedfrom the House of Wisdom of Baghdad reached the multicultural societies ofVenice and Florence. The Multiculturalism of Venice and Florence played anessential role in the emergence of the Renaissance in Europe. Multiculturalismbecame a crucial political concept in the 20th century with the spread ofdemocracy. In the post-World War II world, when the democratic system ofgovernance spread as a universally accepted system of governance, the questionof demand for political rights of multiculturalist groups and adjustment withthe existing system arose. There was a massive increase in migration forvarious reasons, which also gave rise to many other political problems.Multiculturalism and migration got adequate space in Modood's political literature.He presented its socio-political analysis. In discussing the interrelationshipsbetween Multiculturalism and liberalism, the question of adjustment of manycultures in relatively less liberal systems provides an alternative perspectiveto understanding Multiculturalism through migration.
