Summary, etc. This important work analyses the current<br/>condition of India's polity and its relationship<br/>with Muslims. It also provides new<br/>information on India's Muslims before and<br/>after Independence.<br/>Professor Hasan looks at the origins of<br/>Muslim separatism under the British, at the<br/>making of Partition, and at the meanings of<br/>these for a host of Muslim communities,<br/>families and individuals. His book examines<br/>the establishment of the 'Nehruvian<br/>consensus' - with its secular vision for<br/>India's future - in the 1940s and 1950s, and<br/>delineates secular identities as well as the<br/>Muslim organizations which ran counter to<br/>this process.<br/>Mushirul Hasan illustrates the role of<br/>Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia<br/>Islamia as bearers of the 'beacon lights' of<br/>modern and secular understandings of the<br/>Muslim future in India. He then examines<br/>the break-up of the Nehruvian consensus<br/>from the 1960s through to the present,<br/>focussing in particular on the reasons for the<br/>growth of communal activity and the retreat<br/>of both Hindus and Muslims into communal,<br/>political camps. Finally the book surveys the<br/>state of India's Muslims in the period after<br/>the demolition of the Babri Masjid.<br/>Professor Hasan believes that there still<br/>exists a secular platform in India, even if this<br/>has been somewhat narrowed. He argues for<br/>its importance at the current conjuncture,<br/>when the spectre of a supposed 'Islamic<br/>menace' has globally created a sharp<br/>civilizational divide. Professor Hasan's<br/>moderate and modernist voice will help build<br/>bridges in these difficult times, when<br/>positions have hardened and battle lines<br/>drawn.
