Summary, etc. | Indian Muslims constitute the largest<br/>minority in India, and they comprise a<br/>major chunk of world's Muslim<br/>population. Indeed they constitute more<br/>than the entire Arab population put<br/>together.<br/>The Muslim question in modern India is<br/>historically, politically and emotionally<br/>charged. It acutely calls for a<br/>dispassionate academic analysis.<br/>Particularly in light of the rise of ethno-<br/>religious consciousness in the closing<br/>decade of the twentieth century. Unlike<br/>other books written on the topic by one<br/>academic for another academic, this<br/>book while densely documented and<br/>thoroughly researched, is meant not<br/>only for academics but also for the<br/>general public. It avoids esoteric<br/>terminology and jargon familiar enly to<br/>a handful of university teachers. The<br/>result is a clear, concise account of the<br/>experiences of Muslims in India since<br/>1947.<br/>After an introduction of the subject-<br/>matter of the book, major issues<br/>concerning Indian Muslims are dealt,<br/>which are the sense of Muslim<br/>insecurity characterised by communal<br/>violence, the participation and share of<br/>Muslims in the national economy, the<br/>question of Muslim lag in modern<br/>education, the role of Urdu in the<br/>Muslim identity, Hindu majority views,<br/>attitudes and demands on the Muslims,<br/>and finally the political experience of<br/>the Muslim minority in the democratic<br/>politics. An appendix describes<br/>inilestones in the Muslim experience<br/>after independence. |
