The Muslims possess a distinct and impressive identity in the variegated milieu of social and national life of India. Though the community has undergone vicissitudes of an thinkable dimensions, yet so deep rooted are its traditions and culture that there has been an uninterrupted continuity in their march ahead. There has never been a dearth of thinkers and writers who have thought and written almost on every aspect of Muslim life in India. A galaxy of great and glorious Muslim men adorns the annals of India. Their contributions to the free- dom struggle has never been less than anyone else. In post-independence years, the faith of the Muslims in their Indianness has helped them to over- come the harrowing experience during the twilight of the partition days. A lot of literature on the Muslims of India is flowing every year in the form of news items, general articles, pam- phlets, books and research theses and there is always an urgent need to organise this information for fruitful utilisation. The present bibliography covers the publications, theses from the earliest and articles published between 1980-1987 on all aspects of Muslims in India-their leaders, their religion, their education, their institu- tions, their politics, their personal laws, their customs and lastly the Hindu- Muslim relations. The information con- tained in over 3000 bibliographical entries in the present work has been distilled from about 150 journals and newspapers, about 500 books and about 100 research theses. The information about research theses is not only from the universities in India but also from the universities abroad-Great Britain, USA and other countries.
