Full Description
This omnibus discusses various aspects of Islam and Muslim identity in the subcontinent from 19th century to present times. It explores key issues like Partition, Hindu-Muslim politics, Islam and pluralism, and stereotyping of Muslims. Moderates and Muslims deals with question of stereotyping of Muslims and underlines that there is a strong need to revisit such imageries. From Pluralism to Separatism shows how the pluralist and syncretist Qasbati culture of Uttar Pradesh gradually gave way to separatism and identity politics. A Moral Reckoning explores the Muslim intellectuals and intellectual life of Delhi in the nineteenth century. Legacy of a Divided Nation examines the trajectory of Muslim 'separatism' in colonial times and how it assumed a national character. The Introduction weaves together the four books and contextualizes them as an important part of the author's intellectual journey. This book will be of considerable interest to scholars and students of modern Indian history particularly those interested in Islam and Muslims.
