Book Summary
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.
