National integration is a problem of great significance for a i-acial, multi-religious and caste-ridden country like India. The keuslims, the largest single minority in the country, have for various historical and social reasons, stayed aloof from the national mainstream. This book undertakes a study of certain problems of the Muslim minority in India in the context of its democratic set-up based on majority rule. The issues selected the problem of Urdu, the Muslim Personal Law, the Aligarh Muslim University, and Secularism. This study maintains that the absence of any serious attempt to change the Imajority and minority attitudes and perspectives on these issues s mainly responsible for the aloofness of the Muslim ommunity.
